Playa Abama
#6 of 23 Beaches in TenerifeSummary about Playa Abama
Playa Abama, set against the picturesque backdrop of Tenerife's coast, is a small yet stunning beach renowned for its golden sands and captivating natural beauty. While the beach is associated with the luxurious Ritz Hotel, it remains accessible to the public, offering exclusivity without needing a hotel stay. Visitors should be mindful that accessing the beach requires much effort. The absence of direct car access means a 10-15 minute walk from the car park is necessary, with the journey back potentially challenging due to the uphill nature and steps, particularly on hot days. Although parking is available, spaces can be limited, and the GPS may mistakenly direct visitors to the adjacent hotel, so planning for parking is advisable. The beach's charm lies not only in its sandy shores but also in the intriguing rocky formations and waves to the left of the beach, offering a perfect opportunity for exploration and photography. While the beach is a serene retreat on weekdays, it can attract crowds over the weekend, so timing your visit can enhance the experience. Playa Abama has facilities, including freshwater showers and toilets. However, it's important to note that these are only available during working hours. The beach area is marked as safe, with a seabed of sand and small stones, ensuring a pleasant and secure swimming environment. For those seeking refreshments or a meal, a highly-regarded restaurant sits atop the beach, providing delicious cuisine with a view. While the beach is undeniably beautiful and offers several amenities, visitors should be prepared for the logistics of getting there and back. The main parking area, while free, is located some distance from the beach, necessitating a lengthy walk. As such, Playa Abama is best suited for those in good physical condition or those who don't mind the exercise, promising a rewarding beach experience complemented by stunning natural scenery and excellent facilities.Places to visit near Playa Abama
