Tenerife has more than 67 beaches across volcanic black sand, imported golden sand and sheltered family coves. These are the ones worth planning your trip around.
Playa del Duque (Costa Adeje) — the south's most polished. Playa de Las Teresitas (north) — palm-fringed golden sand. Playa de Las Vistas (Los Cristianos) — biggest family beach. Playa Jardín (Puerto de la Cruz) — César Manrique-designed. Benijo (Anaga) — wild Atlantic drama.
South coast beaches are warmer, calmer and built-up with sunbeds and bars. North coast beaches are more dramatic, with bigger surf and natural backdrops. Anaga's coves are remote and wave-pummelled — for atmosphere over swimming.
