The view from Masca is breathtaking, but it's not something you'd want to experience more than once. The road to get there is a winding, treacherous journey through the mountains. If you're looking to reach the beach, you'll have to endure a grueling 8 km hike down from the village.
Our favorite beach is a real gem! With its dramatic backdrop and huge waves, the main beach is perfect for thrill-seekers. There are also plenty of rock pools and formations nearby, making the water calmer and ideal for children or snorkeling. One thing to note is that if the tide is in, there won't be much of a beach, so it's best to check the tide charts if you're coming from the south. The drive from the south along the Masca Road is absolutely stunning, so it's worth the trip at least once. Don't forget to check out the lighthouse too - it's a must-see, just make sure you know the opening times!
Tucked away at the end of a small street. It's best to visit early in the day, as the sun sets quickly. The natural swimming pool is a sight to behold!
Playa de Barranco Seco is an ideal place to relax and unwind. Though it's a bit of a trek - about two hours from Tamaimo - it's well worth it for the peace and quiet you'll find here. Highly recommended.
This location is not worth the visit - there's nothing to do or see. I can only give it one star, as that's the minimum, and it's not easily accessible either.
This beach near Casas de Araza is a great spot to relax and soak up some rays. Unfortunately, it's also a popular destination, so you'll be fighting for a decent spot. The sand is alright, and the view is alright too. All-in-all, it's an okay place to spend some time, but nothing to write home about.
