The Adeje Council has temporarily prohibited swimming in the sea from La Pinta beach, in the south of Tenerife, after latest tests resulted in high levels of contamination in the water.
La Pinta beach is at the exit of the Puerto Colon harbour and is used a lot by families and children who play on the inflatable’s in the water.
They have informed that the beach is open for sunbathing, but you may not go into the water as a preventive measure until test results show that it is safe to do so.
According to an official statement: "the incident has been reported to the competent administrations and the information, monitoring and closure protocol has been activated. As soon as the analytics are suitable for bathing, it will be reopened.”
Daily tests are now being carried out to monitor the contamination levels.
