Playa de Valleseco-Acapulco is situated in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the island of Tenerife. Its seabed consists of gravel, a classification which the Canary Islands register lists for only two other bathing areas. Measuring approximately 98 metres in length and approximately 22 metres in width, it is only about half as long as the average bathing area on Tenerife. Sailing and motorboats are reported in this area.
