LOS MORTEROS | Most people staying in Costa Adeje never find this beach 🌊
Just beyond La Caleta, where the resorts give way to volcanic cliffs, a tiny cove hides at the bottom of the rocks.
Only 60 metres long, wild and completely undeveloped, it sits inside a protected natural area.
🪨 Look through the openings in the pale volcanic rock above the shore and the Atlantic appears framed like a picture, with the little beach right below.
⚓ This coast has history. La Caleta was the old port of Adeje, and records mention a resident of the port as early as 1573.
🤿 No bars, no sunbeds, no showers. Just clear, calm water that snorkellers love. It is also a traditionally naturist-friendly beach.
🥾 Wear proper shoes, not flip-flops. The path is rough and there is nothing to buy once you arrive, so bring water.
🏡 A short drive from our villas in Costa Adeje, yet it feels a world away.
Sometimes Tenerife's best views hide behind the smallest openings.
