Playa Amarilla — Attraction in Arona

If you are looking for a rocky wild beach you don't wanna miss this spot! Easily reachable from the Amarillo Mountain or from Costa de Silenzio village, you can get yourself immerse this natural beauty. Perfect location if you want to get a place away from the crowd. The water is crystal-clear, perfect if you want to do snorkeling. However keep in mind the currents are quite strong, so you have to be extremely careful if you want to take a bath or go swimming. As mention, there is not sand there, so you really have to be extremely precocious. If the whether conditions are good, you can actually walk from one side to another. Again, be careful as the rocks are slippery. Personally I suggest to go there if you are in a good shape and don't have difficulties in walking. Pets are welcome! I wouldn't recommend if you are with you kids. For sure you can get to the small rocky beach, there are steps and there is also a mirador. Next to it you can actually find some tables, ideals if you want to stop by for a picnic or enjoy the sunrise/sunset. Bare in mind the there are not facilities - showers, public toilets, sunbeds or lifeguard- or restaurants on the beach, however you can find a few in the town. Also, from there you can easily enjoy the Montana Amarilla for a quick...

Beautiful sight, but proceed with caution!

The landscape is stunning, especially the beige and black rocks, and the water is a beautiful shade of blue. Free parking spots are available nearby. BUT you should be really careful to go down to the water. I don't know if it's always like the day we visited but when we got down to the water without even intending to go swimming a huge wave came out of nowhere and caused some of us to fall down and pushed us against the rocks. (You couldn't have seen it coming because it was hidden by the rocks until it pushed past them.) Fortunately, nothing but a few bloody scrapes happened, but we could have been much worse off. The people around there were of no help at all despite obviously having been there for quite a while. A few minutes after we got back on safer land, while we were still attending to the injuries (and therefore too occupied to pay attention to the water) another wave hit some other people standing down there the same way it had hit us. Again, no one warned them, so even if there are several people around, be careful to get too close to the water if the waves seem wild. Stay safe guys, and enjoy the...

It was the best place to snorkel and hike at the same time in Tenerife. But only in low tide and less wind, so check before heading out. You can sunbathe on the rock only, but very limited space.

As for snorkeling, wear water shoes because of rock way and urchins under water. The water is super clear, plenty of fish and there were underwater caves/holes which are pretty special and easily accessible near to shore within 2m deep.

For hiking, you can walk around the mountain next to the water in low tide. But remember to be back before the walkway submerges in the water, or it will be very challenging and dangerous to climb the cliff. Another safe route is to climb up to the top of the mountain and down on the other side. This way is not...
