A look at Playa Bastián

As we already mentioned, Playa Bastián is a destination mainly for families aiming to enjoy the sea, waves and quality time with their children.

Its sand is golden and it is well fitted out with thick stone walls, stairs and landscaped areas. Behind it runs the pleasant promenade of Costa Teguise and very nearby there is a wide range of bars and restaurants.

Although it is one of the best holiday areas, it is necessary to bear in mind a certain detail before heading into the sea: the shore, during the low tide, is colonized by rough stones. Therefore, in this case it is recommended to wear booties.

It is always better with a high tide, because going in is easier without suffering from so many stones that fill the shore during low tide.

Playa Bastián: stay and food

The beach is located 5 minutes from Avenida Islas Canarias and Pueblo Marinero, an unmissable walk for discovering the place and relaxing for a while.

Another thing to bear in mind is that there is a very small hotel presence, as the majority of the area is occupied by resorts with single-storey homes.
