Beautiful Beaches in Tenerife

Obviously, with 365 days a year sun, warm to hot temperatures all year round, and an amazing climate, there is a lot of scope for visiting beaches when you come to Tenerife.

There is an abundance of high quality, man-made beaches, normally with fine black sand, however, there are a few 'white' beaches on the Island too.

Playa del Duque

Situated in one of the finest areas of Tenerife, and nextdoor to the popular 5 star hotel, Gran Hotel Bahia del Duque. The sand is very fine, and composed of grey specks. Located on the beach itself are sunbeds, sunshades, toilets, changing rooms and telephones. Like most beaches, bars and restaurants are located practically all the way along the beach.

El Médano Beach

Located in the district of Granadilla de Abona, next to the resort of the same name. It holds the distinction of being the longest beach on the whole Island (2 km). The beach is made up of fine golden sand, surrounded by protected Nature Reserve. The beach itself has calm, shallow waters and is family friendly.

Las Teresitas

Located 7km from the centre of Santa Cruz, locals and tourists all flock to this golden sandy beach. 1.5km long, and dotted with Palm trees, this beach has all the amenities you could ever need. Showers, Sun Loungers, Changing Rooms and much more.

Playa de Las Americas beach can get very crowded, but it is most definitely the place to go if you are looking to enojy any kind of watersports, or enjoy being part of a well populated beach. There are several beaches along the same strip within Las Americas, and they are all no more than a few minutes walk away from each other.

Los Cristianos beach is also one of the more popular beaches on the Island, and is widely recognised as having one of the safest beaches within Tenerife. Similar to the beaches at Playa de Las Americas, the bathing spots within Los Cristianos are equally close to one another, so you will not have far to walk between each one.
