Playa San Juan

The beach of Playa San Juan is located near the fishing arbour and is characterized by black sand.

Nearby you'll find parking, showers, a bar and you can rent sun loungers and umbrellas. This beach is also accessible to people with limited mobility.

We recommend a walk along the seafront at sunset, where you'll find various cafes, restaurants and shops.

Playa de Abama

This bay, protected by rocks, is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Tenerife for its golden sand and clear water.

Playa de Abama is ideal for swimming and relaxing, but also for a family day with kids. It's popular for its intimate and peaceful atmosphere, especially at sunset.

To reach the beach, you have to park your car at the parking by the hotel and walk down the road or steps.

Playa Diego Hernandez

Playa Diego Hernández is a wild and little-known beach located in the south of Tenerife, near La Caleta.

It can only be reached by foot in about 20 minutes, following a path that starts from a parking lot near the golf course of La Caleta or from El Puertito. For this reason, it's never too crowded.

This beach, characterized by a mix of golden and black sand and turquoise waters, is the perfect place to relax or play sports with friends. We think it's worth the walk to get there!

Playa La Jaquita

Playa La Jaquita is Alcalá's beach. It has black sand and is divided into three small coves and natural pools that fill with seawater depending on the tides (free access).

It offers numerous services including showers, changing rooms, bathrooms, a bar, sun lounger and umbrella rentals, children's play areas and nearby beach volleyball courts. It is also accessible to people with reduced mobility.

The beach has convenient parking and nearby bus stops. It is well connected to the seafront.

Masca

Masca is a unique mountain village nestled in a picturesque gorge. It can be reached by car or bus along a scenic yet winding road. We recommend arriving early to find parking.

Garachico is a historic and picturesque town on the northwest coast of Tenerife known for its well-preserved old town, the natural pools of El Caletòn, and San Miguel Castle.

Alcalà

Alcalá is known for its authenticity, its natural pools, its black sand beaches and its history as a fishing village.

It's the ideal place for those seeking tranquility and for outdoor activities lovers (beach volleyball, skateboarding, calisthenics) which can be practiced in the dedicated areas near the shore.

The area also offers a suggestive atmosphere, especially at sunset, with views of the island of La Gomera.

Before booking your private or group lesson, remember to check the tide conditions!
