The island of Tenerife experienced one of the most tragic days related to coastal phenomenon on Saturday. Three people lost their lives and a further 15 were injured in different parts of the island, while the Canary archipelago remained on pre-alert for coastal hazards due to bad sea conditions.
The first incident took place on the Roque de Las Bodegas beach, in Taganana, where six French tourists fell into the water after being hit by large waves. Local police sources confirmed that those affected were swept away after ignoring a preventive buoy installed in the area.
