Tenerife is a popular holiday
destination for its sun, nightlife and, of course, its beaches. So, it's
important to know where the best ones are located so that you can plan
your holiday perfectly. Here is a guide to Tenerife's most fabulous beaches.
El Medano Beach
In the district of Granadilla
de Abona, you'll find the gorgeous golden beach of El Medano. This
flat beach is a popular destination for windsurfing, body boarding and
surfing; it is also said to be the longest beach on the island, measuring
2 km. Surrounded by a nature reserve, this location has a brilliant, calming
ambience. You can enjoy this beach whether you're adventurous or into pure,
delightful relaxation.
Teresitas
Beach
This is one of Tenerife's golden
beaches with beautiful sand imported from the Spanish province of Sahara.
Located in the fishing town of San Andreas, this beach is spectacular for
just reclining in the sunshine and reading a book, or making wonderful
sandcastles as a family with the kids. Canary palms and sea grapes have
been planted on this beach, making it even more fabulous, attracting more
and more Canarian wildlife. It is a very romantic spot to visit at sunrise
or sunset.
Troya
One of the first golden beaches
to be found at Costa Adeje, this beach is extremely safe as the sea is
calm and it has a full time lifeguard, making it extremely suitable for
young families. With parking, a bus stop and a taxi rank within walking
distance, this beach is easily accessible. To relax in style, there are
sun loungers to hire and parasols to protect you from the fierce sun. Don't
worry if you want to clean up before heading to one of the fabulous restaurants
that surround this magnificent beach, as there are showers and changing
rooms for that very purpose.
Roque
Beach
Roque Beach is a natural black
sand beach made from the volcanic rocks of Tenerife. This spectacular beach
is full of excitingly shaped, sculptural rocks to provide you with a sensational
view, especially at sunset. This magnificent looking beach is suitable
for practising surfing, swimming or just relaxing in the sun. However,
it should be noted that this beach can become dangerous due to currents
and swells.
Playa de La Arena Beach
Another natural black sand beach
can be found, located in the heart of the popular, yet small resort of
Puerto Santiago. Measuring 120 m, Playa de La Arena is a stunning, yet
small beach. Surrounding this beautiful beach are many restaurants, shops
and hotels, making this the perfect spot for a day out with the family.
It also has a full range of useful hygiene facilities. This beach is a
favourite for both tourists and locals.
Whether you are looking for
a place that allows you sublime relaxation, or a beach that provides you
with thrilling water sports, or just a beach to take your family to make
sandcastles, you are bound to find a beach suitable for you. Visit one
of these beaches and take advantage of all the gorgeous places to visit
that Tenerife has to offer.
