Playa De Los Pocillos Holiday
The compact resort known as Playa de los Pocillos grew up at the eastern end of Puerto del Carmen, making it the perfect place to unwind. This area has a quieter, more relaxing atmosphere than central Puerto Del Carmen. Playa de los Pocillos has a long, sandy beach bordered by a promenade with a small selection of bars and restaurants. Central Puerto del Carmen is only a short taxi ride away for those who want to party.
Beaches
Playa de los Pocillos has a marvellous sandy beach that shelves gently into the sea and is bordered by a long promenade.
Shopping
Playa de los Pocillos has a sprinkling of shops, supermarkets and bazaars but a short trip to Puerto del Carmen's main stretch will take you to hundreds of shops selling anything from souvenirs to designer labels. Take the local bus from the beach road to the islands capital, Arrecife, where the locals tend to shop in the back lanes or the pedestrianised main street.
Nightlife
This is a quieter resort than most although the promenade offers a range of bars and restaurants. However, the lively nearby resort of Puerto del Carmen will offer louder alternatives for a night out with its heady mix of disco bars and late night clubs.
Local Specialities
Although Los Pocillos has a couple of international restaurants overlooking the ocean and is home to one of the better know fast food outlets, just further along the coast is Puerto del Carmen with a huge selection of restaurants including some excellent fish restaurants based in the old own harbour area. There are a large variety of menus on offer to accommodate all tastes.
