Golden Sand Beaches

Playa de las Teresitas

Just 7 kilometres from Santa Cruz, Las Teresitas is Tenerife's most famous golden beach. The sand was imported from the Sahara Desert in the 1970s, creating a stunning 1.5-kilometre stretch of golden shoreline backed by the Anaga mountains. A protective breakwater keeps the waters calm and crystal clear, making it perfect for families.

Available rentals: Sunbeds, parasols, pedal boats, kayaks, snorkelling equipment, and stand-up paddleboards. Several chiringuitos (beach bars) line the promenade.

Best for: Families wanting calm, shallow water and full facilities without the tourist-resort feel.

Playa del Duque

Located in Costa Adeje, this is arguably Tenerife's most upmarket beach. The golden sand is immaculate, the water is turquoise, and the surrounding promenade features high-end restaurants and boutiques. The beach is well-sheltered by breakwaters, ensuring calm swimming conditions year-round.

Available rentals: Premium sunbeds with service, parasols, jet skis, banana boats, pedal boats, kayaks, SUP boards, snorkelling gear, and parasailing experiences.
