Los Patos Beach, located in the municipality of La Orotava, is surely one of the most beautiful beaches of the island and a peaceful place to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature.
Some details about Los Patos Beach
It is a beach frequented by surfers and nudists. However, it is not a very crowded place, due in part to the dangerous access and the state of neglect of the roads to get there. For this reason, you must take great care to avoid possible falls or landslides. Another disadvantage is that access can be cut off depending on sea conditions, so it is better to go when the tide is low and the sea is not too rough.
These factors are the reason why this beach is not frequented by many people. However, if you get there on a day when the tide is low, you can enjoy absolute tranquility in a delicious area for the senses.
How to get to Los Patos Beach?
The access to Los Patos Beach is better if you have a car. First, take TF-5 North Motorway and take the road to “Puerto de la Cruz-El Rincón”. From here you must follow all the time the signs directing to “El Rincón”, where you will go through a road surrounding by banana trees. You will have to leave the car at the end of it, and then descend a dangerous road, so you should take extreme precautions.
The best way to avoid getting lost is to ask the people you meet on the way to get there, and they will surely help you until you get to the wonderful beach.
