Natural pool among volcanic rocksCrystal clear and calm watersThe Atlantic breaks right next to it
El Charco del Viento is one of the most frequented and accessible natural pools on the north coast of Tenerife, in the municipality of La Guancha. It is a set of pools formed by ancient lava flows that, upon cooling when entering the sea, created a small cove with black volcanic rock inlets and sandy areas. Its waters, with shades ranging from deep blue to emerald green depending on the light, are usually calm and ideal for swimming and snorkeling on calm days.
The area has been equipped with a large parking lot, a renovated access staircase, and a solarium, although it lacks official surveillance. During the descent along the access road, among banana plantations, you can enjoy views of Teide.
