Tenerife Beaches
 

In a beautiful bay to the west of Santa Cruz you will find Playa Bollulo in its natural state. You walk down steep flights of steps to be greeted by a 200 meter beach of black sand which is surrounded by mystifying cliffs. Due to high breakers swimming is not always permitted, however you can hire sun beds and there is a bar on the beach.


San Andres is to the north of Santa Cruz , and has a long beach of golden sands that has been imported from the Sahara for your pleasure. This beach has strong sea breakers, so dams have been put in place to protect it. Quiet mid-week, this palm lined beach livens up at weekends.

Head north for 2 miles and you will find a nudist beach, which is part of Playa de las Gaviotos.


At the island's southern extreme, with great hotels and sports installations, mostly stony but one small sandy beach.


A black sand beach with one small bar and no pretensions to be a tourist resort. The beach is 1.6Km long and located close to the village of Güimar.


Its sand is dark and more abundant during low tide periods; suitable for practising surf, may become dangerous due to frequent currents and sudden swells, despite the apparent good condition of the sea.There are some open-air cafe's and fish restaurants by the beach.


Another centre of international tourism, three marvelous small bays close to Candelaria. Las Caletillas is a quiet, mostly residential area without the commercialism of the more lively resorts. Las Caletillas has a pebble beach and just 3km away is the picturesque village of Candelaria with its own small volcanic beach. Las Caletillas is set approximately 14km from the capital of the island Santa Cruz and approximately 65km from Playa de las Americas.


A blue flag beach of black sand. This rocky stretch of coastline is home to resorts in the North Hotel Zone. The four-mile area, which turns into Playa Santa Pilar, a favorite for sunbathing, watersports and relaxation. Calm waters allow for excellent snorkeling and steady winds provide ideal windsurfing opportunities.


The beach is small for the size of the town but understandable when one looks at the surrounding incredible landscape. Right next to the public beach is the marina, where you will find an array of private boats and yachts moored next to the boats which take visitors out to see the dolphin and whale colonies which live between the west coast of Tenerife and the neighbouring island of La Gomera.
