Tenerife is full of great beaches – it’s no hard at all to find the perfect spot to swim or sunbath. You can go north or south, east or west there’re amazing beaches everywhere. Here’s a short list of the best beaches of Tenerife:
- El Puertito
It’s situated between the resorts on the south and south west coasts. El Puertito Bay is a unique example how Tenerife’s southern fishing hamlets looked like before the property developers moved in. Beautiful whitewashed buildings, great fish restaurants, clear waters, colourful fishing boats and sandy beaches. You’ll probably feel that you’re on an island that hasn’t been discovered yet. There’re also many campers visit this place during summer months. El Puertito is located very close to the big resorts however it’s more relaxed and laid back, you can just simply wiggle your toes in the sand or dip into the clear water.
How can you find it? – A very small sign (easy to miss) points the way from the TF47 just outside Armeñime on the road west to Los Gigantes
- Playa de los Abriguitos
It’s not so hidden as El Puertito even the road to the beach leads through a new housing development which honestly is completely out of place. Fortunately the beach is still stunning, pale golden sand with clear turquoise sea. If you want to sunbath or if you want to surf then this beach is for you. It’s really worth to visit.
How can you find it? Just take exit 18 sign posted Los Abades from the TF1 and follow the road to the coast.
- Playa Grande
There’s a windfarm located nearby but the beach is really good, it’s protected by the headland and that’s why the sea and the wind are really calm here. You can also find a fishing hamlet, beautiful lighthouse – Abona lighthouse – and a small jetty here.
How can you find it? – Take exit 17 from the TF1 sign posted Poris de Abona.
