Pick and Choose Your Favorite Tenerife Beach
Tenerife - the biggest of the Canary Islands, an Atlantic territory of Spain - is studded with beautiful and spectacular beaches where socializing, partying, amazing scenery, water sports, relaxed life and good food is the order of the day (and the night). Tenerife is a fantastic place (with an European bias) to see and a Tenerife beach is sure a fun place to be in.
If you're planning to hang out in Tenerife, then you must ideally pick out a Tenerife beach to hang out on, even though you make it a point to visit all of them. Here is a list of beaches out there, which you can pick and choose from:
Las Teresitas: This is the most popular Tenerife beach. It is man-made and covered with yellow sand imported from Sahara. Palm trees, bars and restaurants dot this beach, which is studded with superb facilities.
Las Americas: This beach is further subdivided into many small beaches and is a famous tourist spot. The town is a melting pot of culture and full of nightclubs, and it also features an aqua park, a golf course and a zoo. Here's a cool thing you can do in Las Americas town when you're not on the beach - take a boat and go looking for whales and dolphins.
Fanabe: Beautifully developed, the Fanabe beach is a stone's throw away from the resort of Playa Fanabe. The beach sports a long "metropolitan" walk and comes with all beach facilities. It is dotted with restaurants that serve all kinds of food.
La Arena: This beach is surrounded by huge and craggy black hills that disappear into the sea. It is relatively quiet and the atmosphere is relaxed with the tourist accommodation located on the hills. Black sands and lush greenery and the hills surrounding the beach draw make this beach a must-see.
Playa Jardin: This is a close-to-nature, very green, black-sanded beach that has been planned by the famous Canaric artist, Cesar Manrique. Natural rock formations divide the beach into three parts and it makes for a pleasurable stroll.
San Marcos: Back-sanded and not overcrowded, this picturesque beach is located in the fishing village of San Marcos. There are some restaurants along the beachside and a walk of this beach is recommended as it exposes you to excellent scenery.
Los Roques: A beautiful beach where the waters swell and the currents are strong - you have to be careful while bathing in these waters. Nevertheless, Los Roques is a beautiful beach enveloped by jagged, steep heights and reefs.
Las Gaviotas: A small black-sanded beach that is surrounded with rocks formed out of volcanic eruptions. It is very popular with environmentalists and explorers.
El Navio: This is a very tiny virgin beach that can only be accessed by foot or by boat. The waters are sparkling, crystal clear and the currents are very strong - so you have to be careful while swimming out there.
El Draguillo: Here again, the sand is black and the waves are massive. It does not have any services or beach equipment, but does have a lot of natural beauty. It is not crowded at all and you need to be very cautious while bathing in the waters.
These are the beaches in Tenerife and great for suba diving - Tenerife is a place that has beautiful, constant weather all year long and a tourist can visit it any time of the year to partake in its pleasurable lifestyle. Along with living life on a Tenerife beach, a tourist can also hang out and club round the clock.
