Idyllic paradises, amazing views and places that invite you to relax. All this and more, is what we will find between the best beaches in Tenerife. When the good weather arrives, many people already plan what their vacations will be like. Surely in them, the sea will be one of the great protagonists.
There are many corners that we have of large sandy areas, but today we are going to Tenerife. An island that, as we say, stars in idyllic spaces in the form of large beaches. If you want to enjoy all of them, do not miss everything that we bring for you, because it will make you go welcoming the good weather.
The best beaches in Tenerife, Playa de los Patos
One of the first stops is Playa de los Patos. It belongs to the municipality of La Orotava. You must leave the car and then walk for about a quarter of an hour, hence it is not one of the most frequented beaches. We can say that it is a wild beach, where black sand is its best ally. It is located next to the beach of 'El Ancón'. Both are separated by a kind of ledge that comes from the island itself. Los Patos beach is 630 meters long. Around it you can enjoy a very green view, accompanied by mountains and great vegetation.
Médano and Tejita Beach
Something similar to what happened with the two that we mentioned, we found Médano and Tejita. That is to say, they are two beaches that are divided. But in this case, not because of the island but because of a kind of reddish mountain. Without a doubt, one of the key points for this idyllic setting. The area of La Tejita is perfect for all lovers of surfing as well as windsurfing and its variants. It must be said that it is an area declared a protected natural space. So you can't get to them by car either. There are a number of car parks near the 'Médano-Los Abrigos' road. Once you have parked in this area, you will have some trails to access the beach area. In this case, it will only be 5 or 6 minutes.
Antequera
Among the best beaches in Tenerife we find the one called 'Antequera'. In this case, it is a somewhat more secluded beach. To access it, you can do it by sea or by a path that is not too easy to cross.. It is true that for this reason, but due to its great beauty, there are many excursions that depart from Santa Cruz, as well as from the town of San Andrés. It is worth enjoying this corner, with gray sand, 400 meters long and 25 meters wide.
Benijo
Many opinions agree on the same: It is one of the most spectacular beaches in Tenerife. It is located on the north coast, in the Anaga area. In summer it has a medium occupation, since it seems that tourists do not come to this area. Its access is also through a path, which begins once we have left the road. You will also have a restaurant nearby to be able to enjoy the gastronomy and the views of the place. To get to the beach it will take about 15 minutes. It is not recommended for very old people because of the climb back. It is true that if you bathe, you have to be careful with the currents. So, it is best to exercise a little caution and enjoy the sunset views and the promenade.
Diego Hernández Beach
It is another of the great jewels of the place. It is located between 'Caleta de Adeje' and 'El Puertito de Armeñime', south of Tenerife. There is a golf course and the best way to get to this beach is through a path that starts from said course. If you are coming from the highway, then you will take exit 79B. Once you are out of it, you will have to follow the directions for 'Golf de Adeje'. Its sand is golden and the color of the sea is turquoise, so, with these data, your visit is already essential.
Teresitas Beach
I could not miss the Las Teresitas beach. It is located in the town of San Andrés and has palm trees as well as golden sand. In this case, its waters are quite calm, making it a perfect option to enjoy with the family. In addition, you have all the services on the beach, as well as a car park with more than 100 spaces. You will enjoy the views as well as the gastronomy, thanks to the various beach bars.
Located 7 km from the center of Santa Cruz, the capital of Tenerife, this golden sand beach is 1,5 km long, and is frequented by locals and tourists alike. There is a breakwater built about 500 meters from the shore itself, which means that the shoreline is ideal for paddling with children, while the waves are almost non-existent. Spending a day on this beautiful beach in Tenerife is both pleasant and relaxing.
Wind puddle
On the north coast of Tenerife and in the municipality of 'La Guancha', we find 'El Charco del Viento'. It is an environment created from different volcanic eruptions. Hence, we can speak of a beach but also of a bay that is formed by arms of lava. Without a doubt, it is a very beautiful environment that is also worth enjoying. It has crystal clear waters but it is true that, on occasions, they carry great waves.
Bollullo beach
Another of the best beaches in Tenerife and the one preferred by many is the 'El Bollullo' beach. Its sand is black of volcanic origin that contrasts with the crystalline waters. To be another of the wild beaches, its access is not the most complicated. It must be said, to locate ourselves, that this beach is located on the left side of the 'Playa de los Patos'. The beach is about 160 meters long and its cove, 60 meters. You have several parking areas near the beach. In addition, this beach has a beach bar, where you can enjoy a very cold drink.
El Socorro Beach
It is a beach located to the north and in the municipality of 'Los Realejos'. You can get there by car through the general north highway (C-820). You will see a detour very close to the Mirador de San Pedro and it will take you to the foot of the beach. Although it has great beauty, it is true that we must take extreme precautions since it is a beach with great waves and currents.
Arena Beach
This local beach is hidden in the town of the same name, on the south western side of the island of tenerife. With fine black volcanic sand, it is one of the best beaches in Tenerife. With extensive facilities on the beach itself, as well as shops, bars and cafes just a short walk away, this beach is very popular and is often frequented by tourists and locals. Is Tenerife beach it is very familiar and friendly.
