Charco del Fraile
About
Found on Tenerife, Charco del Fraile sits in 38631 Las Galletas, on the island's southern coast.
The swimming area lies at Las Galletas, within reach of the southern resorts including Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos, and easily reached from Santa Cruz and La Laguna in the north. It is a natural sea pool, known for the clear water and the rocky setting that frames it. A 4.2 out of 5 average across 119 reviews reflects a spot that has drawn a steady following over time. Summer runs from June to September and is the hottest and busiest season, while winter stays warm enough for the beach, so the pool draws swimmers well beyond the peak months.
The islands are linked to mainland Spain by frequent flights, with ferries and short flights connecting them to each other, which makes Tenerife easy to reach from elsewhere in the Canaries. Spanish is the language most people speak, with a Canarian accent and vocabulary of its own.
