The beaches in Tenerife
Like those in Gran Canaria, the fabulous beaches of Tenerife stretch along its sunny southern coast.Among the most developed, with a lot of holiday homes, hotels, restaurants and sports options, are the Golden Sands of the Playa de Las Vistas family and the luxury enclaves around Playa del Duque, on Costa Adeje to the west.You will find shopping, luxury spas, golf, windsurfing, jet skiing and other activities.The beach string ends with Puerto de Santiago and Los Gigantes, in a spectacular location under the high rocks.Too wind for a beach or swimming, El Medano is a world -class surfing beach.Further to the west is the beautiful, the little Playa Santiago and the Playa from Arena, protected by the rocky rocks and placed under a lush park.Adeje is a luxury leisure area, with shops, luxury spas, golf, windsurfing, ski jet and other activities.Perhaps the best beach for families is Playa de Las Teresitas, just outside the capital Santa Cruz.Its inclined, golden sands, imported from North Africa, are protected by artificial barrier reefs that make it perfect for children and swimmers, without the heavy surf of other beaches.
