What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Playa de la Enramada for its unique black sand and quieter atmosphere compared to busier southern Tenerife beaches. The paragliding spectacle is a major draw, and the beachfront bar offers convenience. However, some find the sunbed rental prices steep and the pebbly sand less comfortable than fine sand.
"If you want to visit a black sand beach on the south of Tenerife, this little beach is a lovely quiet location for it!"

Djana Fahry
"I was impressed by the black sand beach. You can rent a sun bed (1 is 12€ and for 2 is 18€ at the time of me writing this review) or you can put your towl on the sand (whick is bit rocky). the beach is not that big, but it is different from what i have seen so fat. There is a bar on the beach."
