Benijo Beach


Benijo Beach (Playa de Benijo) is one of the most isolated virgin beaches in the North of Tenerife, in the Taganana area.


Although, you have to go down a lot of stairs to reach it, the Benijo Beach is famous for its magical sunsets where the blue of the sea mixes with the red in the horizon and the shape of the volcanic rocks seem to emerge from the bottom of the sea.
