<\/span>Is Playa de las Conchas worth it?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

Yes, this small beach, located in the extension of Playa de la Arena<\/strong>, offers a more intimate setting for admiring the ocean. We really enjoyed the wide steps, which form a natural amphitheatre facing the waves<\/strong>. Here you can sit back and watch the swell and surfers<\/strong>, or simply enjoy the sunset<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

The beach is also known as Playa Neptuno or Playa del Volcan. Watching the waves was one of our favorite activities at Los Gigantes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Swimming conditions and supervision<\/h3>\n\n

The beach is a famous surfing spot<\/strong> thanks to its strong waves. The currents are powerful and the swell large. We advise against swimming, as the beach is not supervised. Swimming shoes<\/strong> are recommended due to the rocks.<\/p>\n\n

Installations<\/h3>\n\n

We found showers<\/strong> on the beach but no toilets<\/strong>. There are some on the Playa de la Arena, just next door. No deckchairs or parasols for hire either. On the other hand, the wide<\/strong> amphitheatrical steps<\/strong> allow you to sit facing the sea. We enjoyed a smoothie bought at Restaurant Neptuno<\/strong>, which we found on the seafront between Playa de la Arena and Playa de las Conchas.<\/p>\n\n
