San Marcos Beach


San Marcos Beach (Playa de San Marcos) is a very nice and quiet urban beach in the North of Tenerife, in Icod de los Vinos.


The San Marcos Beach has it’s own charm although it looks a bit abandoned. The bars and restaurants nearby are mostly very old. The black sand is mixed with stones and shells.
