Playa de Benijo, located on the north coast of Tenerife, Canary Islands, is a stunning black sand beach known for its dramatic rock formations and powerful waves. It is a popular spot for photographers, particularly at sunset. Due to the strong currents, swimming can be dangerous, and caution is advised. Accessibility involves navigating a winding road and steps down to the beach, which may present challenges for those with mobility issues. The beach can be visited solo or as part of a guided tour exploring the Anaga Rural Park. While open year-round, the best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. The cost of visiting is minimal, primarily related to transportation and any food or drinks purchased nearby. A typical visit lasts around 2-3 hours to enjoy the scenery and take photos. Be sure to check the tide forecast before visiting, as the beach can be significantly smaller at high tide.
