Located a few kilometres off the main road from Arrecife to Playa Blanca, it seems to have escaped the touristic developments of its coastal cousins mainly because it is so close to the luxury Puerto Calero Marina and the bustling resort of Puerto del Carmen.
The fact that it has remained undeveloped is somewhat strange in many other respects, as it has a very sheltered bay, protected from the prevailing winds and currents by the Punta Gorda.
The main thing that probably prevented the village developing along the lines of the major resort Puerto del Carmen, is the lack of a sandy beach.
In fact it is this black, rather rocky beach that gives Playa Quemada its Spanish name of The Burnt Beach.
