Playa Los Gigantes

Playa Los Gigantes, Coastal beach in Los Gigantes, Spain

Playa de los Guíos, also called Playa Los Gigantes, is a roughly 150-metre beach of fine black volcanic sand at the foot of the Acantilados de los Gigantes in Los Gigantes, Santiago del Teide. The Puerto de los Gigantes harbour lies immediately beside it, and seawater swimming pools are nearby.

The beach lies at the foot of the Acantilados de los Gigantes, the cliffs that gave the village of Los Gigantes its name. The place belongs to the municipality of Santiago del Teide on Tenerife's southwest coast. The sources record no separate founding date or event for the beach itself.

The beach lies directly beside the Puerto de los Gigantes, the harbour of the village of Los Gigantes in the Santiago del Teide municipality. Bathers share the shoreline with the boats of a working port, and seawater swimming pools stand close to the sand. The name Guíos is the Spanish form used for this cove below the Acantilados de los Gigantes.

The beach lies directly beside the Puerto de los Gigantes harbour, so it can be reached on foot from the village without a long descent. Seawater swimming pools stand close to the sand, giving an alternative to the open Atlantic. The sand is fine black volcanic material, and the beach runs about 150 metres along the foot of the cliffs.

The beach lies directly beside the Puerto de los Gigantes harbour, so boats leave for the base of the Acantilados de los Gigantes from the sand's edge. Seawater swimming pools stand close by, giving bathers a sheltered alternative to the open Atlantic.
