Frequently asked questions

Is there a lifeguard at El Charcón?

Not recorded. The MITECO registry lists no lifeguard at El Charcón, which in practice means swimming unsupervised unless Tazacorte council adds cover in July and August. The nearest beach with a recorded lifeguard service is Puerto Naos (Los Llanos de Aridane), 2 km away in a straight line.

How do you get to El Charcón?

MITECO records that you get to El Charcón by car, but no parking is recorded.

Is El Charcón a good beach for children?

El Charcón has no children's area on record. With children, check the flag at El Charcón on the day before going in.

Does El Charcón have a Blue Flag?

No. El Charcón is not listed with a Blue Flag in the MITECO data. The nearest Blue Flag beach is Puerto Naos (Los Llanos de Aridane), 2 km away in a straight line. Without a flag, El Charcón can be just as good: the label measures services and water quality, not looks.
