This morning, the City Council of Santa Cruz de Tenerife has ordered the closure of Benijo beach due to minor landslides observed over the past few weeks.
As a precautionary measure, the situation is being monitored closely, with technical assessments underway to determine the risk posed by the unstable slope. Urgent actions to address the issue are also being considered by the City Council.
Recent reports from rescue and lifeguard teams in the area have highlighted some minor material collapses, indicating potential instabilities in certain parts of the slope near the beach. In response to these findings, the City Council has opted to close the area.
While the current situation may not be deemed critical, conducting thorough studies and implementing necessary safety precautions are deemed essential by the City Council.
Furthermore, warning signs will be installed in the beach access area to alert passersby about the risks. Security and emergency personnel in the Anaga massif will also provide public awareness efforts, urging everyone to act responsibly to avoid unnecessary hazards.
