Playa De Los Pocillos on the South East coast of the island, (1 ml NE of Puerto del Carmen, 8 mls SW of Arrecife, 5 mls SW of airport) is an open, rather bleak flat site. Joined to neighbouring Puerto del Carmen by unbroken development. The area is generally quieter and more relaxed than nearby Puerto del Carmen and is stocked with a few well-equipped upmarket tourist hotels and a sizeable batch of middle-ranking apartments.

There is a broad expanse of moderately fine, medium-gold sand, shelving gently into the ocean. Generally flat and firm; often swept by brisk breezes. Shoppers have a couple of tiny shopping centres and a scattering of general shops to spend thie money.
