Playa Los Patos

Playa Los Patos features black volcanic sand stretching over 650 meters along Tenerife's northern coast, offering dramatic cliff views and natural pools formed by rocks during low tide.

This remote beach has remained largely untouched by tourism development throughout its history, preserving its wild volcanic landscape formed by ancient geological processes on the island.

The beach serves as an established naturist destination within the Canary Islands community, where clothing-optional practices are widely accepted and respected by both local and international visitors.

Access requires a 20-minute walk along a dirt trail from La Orotava, with no facilities available, so visitors must bring their own water, food, and sun protection.

During summer low tides, the beach reveals one of northern Tenerife's largest sandy expanses, comparable to beaches found on Fuerteventura, creating extensive space for solitary exploration.
