Charco Don Gabino is one of those hidden gems in northwest Tenerife that natural pool enthusiasts love to discover. Located on the coast of Los Silos, this volcanic pool measuring about ten meters long stands out for its semi-open character to the sea, giving it a special charm when conditions are right. With high tide and calm waves, swimming here feels peaceful and refreshing, perfect for unwinding without the crowds typical of the island's more touristy spots.

Access is via a dirt track from Puertito de Los Silos, and it features an artificial esplanade that works as a natural solarium where you can lay your towel and soak up the Atlantic sun. While there are some rocks and occasionally a sea urchin hidden beneath them, the area is well-maintained with stairs and handrails to ease entry into the water. Visitors highlight the tranquility of the place even on busy days, making it an ideal refuge for those seeking authenticity away from conventional beach crowds.
