Best beach on the island for a family beach day. (Not suitable for surfing however).

Calm sea in the morning, wave brakers in place, advisable to arrive to get a sun bed before 10am as it gets busy after then.

Lifeguards on patrol & coloured flags for your safety, normally display green or yellow.

Sand is not black as it is imported sand from the Sahara Desert and the sea glitters a nice turquoise colour.

Sunbeds are €6.50 each for the day Umbrella is €6.05 each for the day

You pay for usage so do not buy or transfer usage from anyone else other than the people who come around wearing white tops and blue shorts as this is the only valid way of purchasing them. If you leave then it is advisable to get another member of your group to look after the beds so others don't obtain them from you.

Free toilets available, however use of the showers is €2

Food, drink & massages available from beach traders & supermarket. Cafe & shops a short walk within the Plaza del Duque (2 minutes away)

We got a decent cool bag trolley and filled it with 2 bags of ice and cold drinks and snacks. If you are doing multiple days on this beach then it will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Bins for rubbish are at entrance to beach so please take your rubbish with you when you leave and try to separate plastic, cans and any paper or cardboard.

Please do not jump off the large rock face as there are hidden rocks in the sea, you don't always see these and it puts the lifeguard's safety at risk and abuses them as a resource to others in case of an emergency.

Easy access by Taxi or vehicle drop off.

Visited playa del Duque as a couple. Lovely intimate, sandy beach in southern Tenerife on the costa Adeje. Got there about 10.30 and many if the beds were already in use. However, we got a cabana sun bed. Seems populated more by adults than children. Sun beds are around €25 for two and the cabanas were €55 - prices being for the whole day. Fixed sun shades also present. The beach is big enough though that you can just arrive and use your own towels. Some beach traders present walking around and trying to sell you their wares. Can be annoying but also convenient if you want something. Drinks sellers walking around shouting “coca, Fanta, birra” but I think you’ll find that in most tourist beaches now. Masseurs offering massages at various prices. We had a back and neck massage which was €10 for around 15 minutes. The cocktail guy was also a welcome trader supplying string, well made mojitos for €5 each. The bay to the beach was surrounded each end by rocks and depending on the time of day the waves can be quite big with strong currents but balance that against other times where the water is quite calm. There is a beach bar if you’re hungry and shops within a short walking distance. A lovely sun trap and a lovely day spent in the sun on the beach. Will definitely...
