Playa de Gordejuela

Playa de Gordejuela is one of those hidden gems in Tenerife that rewards adventurous visitors willing to make the journey. Located in Los Realejos, this small pebble and rock beach sits at the base of a cliff, next to a historic water elevator dating back to around 1903, adding a touch of industrial heritage to this natural haven.

Access requires descending steep steps and walking over stones, making it essential to check tide tables before visiting, as it's only accessible during low tide and features considerable waves and currents. This effort is completely worthwhile for those seeking a secluded corner to enjoy pristine nature, away from crowded tourist beaches. Regular visitors describe it as a wonderful place that invites respectful enjoyment, encouraging minimal impact on this fragile Canarian coastal ecosystem. A true retreat for nature lovers seeking authenticity.
