It may be that you’re specifically seeking a beach with black or golden sand. If that’s the case, here’s a quick reference rundown of the island’s finest golden sandy beaches and black volcanic sands.
Playa de las Teresitas
Playa de las Teresitas is northern Tenerife’s best known beach, and can be found close to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the island’s capital. The pretty little village of San Andrés is actually the closest location, however, and is worth a visit. Golden sand was brought from the Sahara to create this beach. It’s around two kilometres (or a mile-and-a-quarter) long, and there are palm trees here, plus sun loungers for hire and all the amenities you can possibly think of. An offshore barrier protects...
Bollullo Beach
Playa El Bollullo is one for the wildlife lovers – as well as those seeking seclusion. It’s near La Orotava and Puerto de la Cruzand features the island’s characteristic black sand. The towering cliffs and banana plantations behind the sand create the perfect backdrop. Though the beach is peaceful, the wave action can be strong here so do take care when swimming, especially when you have kids in tow. The black sand can also be hot underfoot.

Playa Jardin
Playa Jardin is the best beach in Puerto de la Cruz (PDLC) and is also near Loro Parque. It was designed by César Manrique, a well-known Canarian artist. The route to the sand takes you via picturesque gardens featuring local flora and waterfalls, and there are great views of Mount Teidefrom Playa Jardin. The beach is divided into three sections: Playa del Castillo, Playa Chica and Playa Maria Jiménez. That’s actually how it appears on Google Maps – you won’t find “Playa Jardin” as a whole th...
Playa de los Guios – Los Gigantes Beach
Playa de los Guios – or Giant’s Beach – is a black sand beach at the foot of the famous Los Gigantescliffs. It’s a sheltered spot, and thus ideal for sunbathers. During the morning, shade is provided here by the cliffs. Los Gigantes itself is a small resort with a relaxed air, and it’s popular with families from the UK in particular. There are enough cafes, restaurants and bars here, but no late-night clubs. The beach is also very close to Los Gigantes harbour, where many boats offer dolphin...
Playa del Duque
Playa del Duque is one of the finest white sandy beaches in Tenerife. It’s an upmarket location, and close to some seriously stylish shops. You’ll also find great restaurants here plus attractive thatched parasols and striped huts. This beach was awarded Blue Flag status for cleanliness and safety. It’s among the best beaches in Tenerife for families and for swimming.

Playa de la Tejita
Playa de la Tejita is one of the best and largest wild beaches on the island. The large sweep of sand is close to El Medano, a popular resort for kitesurfers and windsurfers. As you might expect, it can get very windy here. Naturists and wildlife lovers favour this beach, yet it has an undiscovered feel and can be almost deserted on weekdays. The red volcanic rock here also gives it a very distinctive look, and looming Montaña Roja makes it seem more private. There are a few sunbeds here, but...
