Playa del Medio is one of those wild corners that locals keep as a secret treasure in Tenerife. This bay of black volcanic sand mixed with pebbles and stones offers a completely different experience from conventional tourist beaches, surrounded by impressive cliffs that create a spectacular natural setting.

Getting there is quite an adventure: a dirt road with curves for about 10 minutes takes you to this peaceful and uncrowded paradise. It's important to come prepared with water shoes to walk comfortably on the rocks and enjoy swimming. The beach has a relaxed, semi-nudist atmosphere, perfect for those seeking to disconnect from the hustle in a practically virgin environment. Additionally, there are adjacent beaches accessible on foot by getting a bit wet, adding that touch of exploration that nature lovers especially appreciate.
