British man drowns near Santiago Del Teide

Tenerife News

Some years back we're lying on El Camison beach, there's a couple walking out along the breakwater, a one off freak wave comes right over the breakwater sweeping both of them down the bay side of the breakwater, most people on the beach saw what happend, at that time there was a kiosk at the far end of the beach where you could hire jet ski, banana boat etc, the guy who operated that had a inflatable boat with outboard, he quickly sped out to where the couple were, they had not been washed fully in to the bay but we're at the waters edge at the foot of the breakwater, the girl had a long white dress on, even from the distance we were away you could see it was covered in blood, guy got them both in boat and back to the beach...

Just this time when we were out we were down at El Camison beach a couple of times, at the spot where the couple were washes away a large section of the breakwater is missing, now if the sea can wash away boulders the size the breakwater is made off what chance does a human have...

There is a chain  and notice across the breakwater warning people of the danger but then again a lot of folks ignore it as they know best.
