Playa del Fraile

Playa del Fraile is one of those hidden gems in northern Tenerife that captivates everyone who discovers it. Located in Buenavista del Norte, at the foot of stunning cliffs and right below Mirador de la Monja, this pebble beach has won the hearts of locals and visitors seeking to disconnect in a tranquil natural setting. The access via a narrow path surrounded by banana plantations sets the tone: this is a place for those who value authenticity and unspoiled beauty.

Although the sea is usually rough and rocks are abundant, the coastal landscape is absolutely charming, perfect for contemplating the power of the Atlantic and enjoying the peace that only uncrowded beaches can offer. Playa del Fraile sits on the route to Punta de Teno, making it an ideal stop for hikers and nature lovers. Highly praised by its visitors, this wild beach is undoubtedly one of the most special corners of the island's northern coast.
