Just a short drive from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Playa de Las Teresitas is the island’s most famous golden-sand beach—thanks to the fine Sahara sand that was brought here to create its wide, inviting shoreline. Sheltered by breakwaters, the calm turquoise waters are perfect for a relaxing swim, while the backdrop of palm trees and Anaga’s green mountains adds a postcard-perfect touch.
A visit here easily fills half a day: start with a swim, enjoy a stroll along the promenade, and treat yourself to fresh fish or tapas at one of the beachside kiosks. Whether you’re sunbathing, playing in the water, or just soaking in the views, it’s the kind of place where time slips away without you noticing.
