Parque Rural de Anaga is a stunning natural park located in the northeastern part of Tenerife, Spain. This park is known for its rugged mountains, deep valleys, and lush forests that are home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The park is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers who come to capture the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife. The park offers a variety of photography locations, including the Mirador Cruz del Carmen, which offers panoramic views of the park, the Roque de Taborno, a towering rock formation, and the Playa de Benijo, a beautiful black sand beach.
Benijo is a pretty remote beach, but definitely worth the trip. The sea stacks and beach boulders offer plentiful opportunities for compositions.
Photo Tips: Any time of day can be interesting here. I'd prefer sunrise, but sunsets can be equally good. Watch out for waves!
Getting there: It's about an hour of mountain driving from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, so start early. Be careful while driving, since there's a lot steep curves, but the road is in a good condition, so nothing dangerous in case you are careful. There's parking right above the beach, but only for some tens of cars, which is more than enough for mornings, but might be harder to park in the evening.
The Sun got through the clouds for just a short while, but enough to enjoy a beautiful morning!
