Playa de Antequera, Remote beach in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Province, Spain.

Playa de Antequera is a crescent-shaped beach of dark grey sand and small black pebbles on the southern coast of the Anaga massif, near Igueste de San Andrés in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. A low concrete wall runs along the base of the cliff behind the sand, where several small flat-roofed structures sit against the rock. Rough dark rock and green scrub rise steeply toward a large brown and grey mountain above the beach.

Playa de Antequera lies on the southern coast of the Anaga massif, in the municipality of Santa Cruz de Tenerife near Igueste de San Andrés. With no road access and a difficult approach on foot across a large ravine, the cove has long been reached mainly by boat from Santa Cruz or San Andrés, and it has a small jetty. Its isolation kept it undeveloped and made it a destination for hikers and nudists.

Local visitors come here to enjoy the undeveloped coastline and practice naturism in a setting far from crowds. The place has earned its reputation as a refuge for those seeking a more informal beach experience.

Reach this spot either by boat from Las Teresitas or by hiking from Igueste de San Andrés village, as no road leads directly here. Both routes require advance planning and reasonable fitness, so come prepared with water and proper footwear.

The beach has a small jetty, so most visitors arrive by boat from Santa Cruz or San Andrés rather than on foot, since the walking route means crossing a large ravine. Its dark sand and difficult access keep it a destination for hikers and nudists.
