Bajamar pool

Three natural pools beside a beach with all necessary services

Regardless of the strength of the waves in the open sea, a visit to the natural pools of Bajamar, in the north-east of Tenerife, is something that will always delight the senses. There are two large pools and a smaller one for children, a golden sand beach protected from the sea and many nearby services. All this combines to make a visit to the coastal part of La Laguna, whose city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a real pleasure.

A safe natural water park with numerous restaurants nearby

Bajamar is now recognised as one of the best natural and family-friendly water parks. The reassuring presence of lifeguards, its well-kept installations, the cleanliness of the water and the sand, the views and the presence of the mythical lighthouse combine to make this a perfect place to visit, with ample parking and various restaurants and shops close by. And if you visit on a day when the sea is rough, get your camera ready as the high waves will give you some incredible pictures to take home. A defining image of the island, and an unmissable sight.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the water.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Do not use soap or gel in the showers.
Try to use ocean-friendly sun creams.
Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
Pets are prohibited at many natural pools. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
