The City Council of Adeje has confirmed that they have temporarily closed La Pinta Beach by Puerto Colon in Costa Adeje, after detecting excessive bacteria levels in the microbiological parameters in daily testing of the water quality.
Swimming is prohibited until further notice pending results of a new analysis to ensure that the water is safe for the public to go into.
This is the second time in two weeks that the beach has been closed due to the detection of enterococci 310 bacteria, which may contain harmful microorganisms.
Exposure to contaminated water can lead to infections of the skin, eyes, respiratory system, and, in some cases, urinary and gastrointestinal infections.
The public is urged to follow the recommendations and stay informed about the ongoing situation to ensure their safety. Last time the beach was closed for two days.
