Guide to Tenerife beaches
Tenerife is home to some of Europe's finest beaches: golden sand in the south, black volcanic sand in the north, wild coves reachable on foot. The island enjoys a subtropical climate with over 300 days of sun a year — an ideal beach destination all year round.
The beaches of southern Tenerife — Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje, Las Américas — are the most sheltered from wind and get the best sunshine. In the north, Playa Jardín in Puerto de la Cruz and Playa de Benijo offer a wild, authentic character. Check the live AEMET weather on each page for the day's conditions.
