Playa de Ajabo

Playa de Ajabo extends along the southern coast of Tenerife with dark volcanic sand bordered by natural rock formations reaching into the water.

The beach area maintained its original coastal structure through centuries, shaped by ancient volcanic activities that formed the characteristic black sand deposits.

Local fishermen continue their traditional practices at Playa de Ajabo, bringing fresh catches to the nearby restaurants that prepare Canarian specialties.

The beach provides essential facilities including showers, restrooms, sun loungers, and umbrellas for rent, with lifeguard service during swimming hours.

Marine researchers frequently study the diverse fish species inhabiting the protected rocky areas near the shore, documenting Mediterranean and Atlantic varieties.
