The bay of El Ancla (also known as the kings’ beach due to its proximity to the kings’ residence Las Maretas. This property was given as a gift to the King of Spain from King Hussein of Jordan and is now known as a national world heritage)is at the entrance of Costa Teguise when coming from Arrecife and is known as one of the best bathing areas of this tourist destination. Its main downfall comes from the fact that it is fairly short in length and that it is frequently visited by residents on the island. In the early hours of the day it is the perfect location.

The few people that you meet at this time are taking the opportunity to walk along the admirable seas shore. By midday the bay is busy, however the beaches natural stoned pier allows those to stop and relax in a more spacious environment. Its calm waters are of amazing bright colours. Just by taking a glance you won’t be able to resist! The wind is a faithful friend of the life in Costa Teguise however does not have any knock on effect to this wonderful bay. The shores safety allows you to forget about the kids and the deepest pool is protected by a natural pier making it an ideal place to go for a lengthy swim.
