Playa de Benijo is a wild black sand beach located in the north of Tenerife, near the village of Taganana. Tucked between the cliffs of the Anaga rural park, Playa de Benijo does not offer any kind of services and for this reason has kept its natural charm intact. Once there, you are sure to be captivated by the majesty of the landscape, just as we showed you in this video. The black sand, typical of volcanic beaches, creates a breathtaking contrast with the deep blue ocean. The waves of the sea, pushed by the winds, crash forcefully against the coast, creating a natural and refreshing spectacle.
Visiting Playa de Benijo
The best way to reach the beach is by car. Once you reach the car park, a path leading to the beach awaits you. One of the most charming aspects of Playa Benijo is the relaxed and authentic atmosphere one can experience here. The few facilities and the distance from the main tourist centres keep it an uncrowded beach. It is an ideal place to relax, take a stroll along the shore, or simply lie on the sand and enjoy the sun. Many people practice nudism on the beach.
Around sunset time, Playa de Benijo takes on an even more fascinating atmosphere. The sky with its thousands of hues provides indelible memories, while the beach lengthens as the tide recedes. This is the perfect time for a stroll along the shoreline with the majestic rocks embedded in the ocean on the horizon. Be extremely careful when swimming at Playa de Benijo, the sea is rougher than in other parts of Tenerife and there is no lifeguard service, so enjoy this beach with awareness.
Playa de Benijo is more than just a beach; it is a complete experience of connection with nature, wild beauty and authenticity. If you are looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in spectacular landscapes, Playa de Benijo is definitely a place to visit.
