Yellow Mountain Beach
The beach of Montaña Amarilla is a small singular cove of volcanic stone at the foot of the Montaña Amarilla Natural Monument, declared a protected natural reserve. It is located in the municipality of San Miguel de Abona, right on the border with the neighboring municipality of Arona, specifically in the area of Costa del Silencio.
The erosion of the contact of the mountain with the sea, the ocher and yellow color of the stone and the crystalline seabed, make this area a special place to spend a relaxing day in a unique enclave. Its seabed is ideal for scuba diving and snorkeling.
As it is a small cove of volcanic rock, we recommend that you use booties for swimming.
You can access on foot from the parking lot next to the cove.
