San Marcos Beach

Don't miss the chance to discover one of the most peaceful beaches in northern Tenerife.

San Marcos beach in Icod de los Vinos is shaped like a sea shell, which protects it from the strong waves that typically assail most beaches in the north.

Made of black volcanic sand, the beach's welcoming family atmosphere means it can get quite busy in summer months. All of the amenities you need are on hand, including showers, sun loungers to hire, restaurants with terraces overlooking the sea, and more.
