Though Tenza Beach may appear untouched by the modern world, it does not skimp on activities for its guests. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely day of sunbathing, partake in beach volleyball, explore the coastline through a scenic walk, or simply revel in the soothing sounds of the waves. However, Tenza Beach has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly; although, it does not provide bathroom access, allow dogs, enable disability access, support nude recreation, permit camping, or endorse surfing.
