Playa de San Marcos is in Icod de los Vinos.
It has a distinctive shell shape and is made up of the black volcanic sand typical of this part of the island.
It is framed by spectacular volcanic rocks and cliffs.
The beautiful cove that forms Playa San Marcos is 160 metres long and 40 metres wide.
Close by is a charming footpath lined with plants and flowers.
It is very popular with both tourists and locals and has excellent facilities: bar-restaurants with terraces overlooking the sea, showers, toilets and disabled access.
There is also a small man-made platform to make it easier for bathers to get into the water.
There is a convenient car park nearby.
