Beach Bollullo — Attraction in La Orotava

Watch out! TURIST TRAP, maybe even scam. They want you to pay for visiting a beach. On island there are lots of better free beaches.

Of course if you are here for the first time you will use for example Google Maps. They will take you through the narrow streets (1 car width, on the walls around you will see anti-turist grafitti) to the destination.

Definitely not worth it. Getting up and down in a car is a pain on a very narrow windy 1 lane road with barely any opportunities to pass each other. We got stuck for 15 mins because someone coming in the opposite direction just could not reverse at all and refused to even try, we had 5 cars waiting behind us. Maybe if you're on a bike it's okay.

The beach itself is also not worth it, there are black sand beaches elsewhere on the island if that's what you're after. The waves are high and rough and you're not really even supposed to go in past a few meters. Lifeguards will call you out immediately. The sun gets blocked out due to it being recessed.
