Beaches
It goes without saying that the beaches in Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos are perfect for everything. Huge amount of bars and restaurants to choose from, lifeguards, lots of sunbeds, water-sports and anything else you'd expect from a beach. Very popular, busy beaches.
Playa Jardin - Puerto de la Cruz
Long, man made beach (black sand) split into three sections; a blue-flag beach with bars and restaurants are adjacent. Small breakwater though not the most effective I've ever seen!El Bullullo - La Orotava
There's a bar by the beach and there are some basic facilities. Nice clean beach but no breakwater..Playa de Las Teresitas - another man-made, yellow Sahara sand beach. Situated a few miles from Santa Cruz. Popular with the locals, there's a large breakwater protecting this beach making it a great beach for kids. Palm trees help for finding some shade. The adjacent fishing town of San Andres means a great choice in fish restaurants! There's easy parking, showers, public toilets and phones; row boats for hire.
Bus connections: 910, 102, 111Playa San Marcos - Icod de los Vinos
On the coast by the northern wine-making town of Icod de los Vinos, Playa San Marcos is one of the most picturesque beaches on the island. Very attractive black sand beach.Playa del Roque - Taganana
Crystal clear waters, dark sand and spectacular views. Its large waves makes this stretch of coast a favourite with surfers. Not far away are two similar beaches - Almáciga and Benijos.
