The volcanic sand of Playa de La Arena is surprisingly fine, almost silky, and the water is remarkably clean and clear. The beach is well-equipped: showers, impeccable facilities, lifeguards, and restaurants set back from the shore. The sea is calm, protected by the bay's natural configuration, ideal for family swimming. Unlike the crowded southern beaches, La Arena attracts a mixed clientele of both locals and visitors, giving it a more authentic atmosphere. Bus 325 from Santiago del Teide serves the village. Outside the summer months, the beach is nearly empty on weekdays. Combine your visit with a trip to the charming old village of San Juan and its fishing port, just 4 km away.
💡 Local tip
Excellent beach for snorkeling thanks to the volcanic rocks that shelter rich marine life — remember to bring your mask and snorkel. Fine black sand and generally clear waters. There are plenty of quality seafood restaurants along the waterfront.
