Punta de Alcalá Natural Swimming Pools

The beach promenade leads from Alcalá to Punta de Alcalá, past various small beaches and natural swimming pools. This is where the promenade ends and there are good views of the rugged, rocky coastline.

Alcalá Seafront Promenade

Highlight • Trail

Small but nice waterfront promenade that connects the few highlights of the town, including the market square with cafes and restaurants. Significantly more decelerated than most places in the south. …

November 19, 2021,Meerwasserschwimmbecken – Fischerhafen von Alcalá Runde von Playa de la Arena

Arrived on Tenerife yesterday, today took the first relaxed walk by the sea - great weather, 25 degrees, the sea pools beckon, but we still have time.
Finally, a delicious ice cream 🍦

12/4/2022
One of the few gaps on the coast that we haven't walked this year has been closed.
The wind and the tide promised high waves. So we started in Alcalá... first went to the port and then past various bathing bays and natural pools to Playa la Arena.
The promenade was elaborately designed and an attempt was also made …

This short hike can be done with light shoes. The view is very beautiful, the paths are mostly asphalted. It is certainly not an option if you want to experience peace, solitude and nature. But the view of the coast and La Gomera is very, very beautiful!

January 12, 2025,Promenade von der Playa de Alcalá nach Puerto Santiago

Today we're going on the final walk along the promenade from
Playa de Alcalá to Puerto Santiago. Easy to walk, with nice views in between, but in Playa la Arena and Puerto Santiago it's also heavily built up with tourist infrastructure. You have to like that,
it's not for me.
