Beaches in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Best Beaches

Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s coastline ranges from the calm, Sahara-imported sands of Las Teresitas to the rugged volcanic shores of the Anaga Rural Park. The northern coast near Taganana features black sand beaches like Benijo and Almáciga, known for powerful Atlantic swells and dramatic rock formations. Closer to the city center, smaller coves like Caleta de Negros provide bathing areas adjacent to historic landmarks, while secluded spots like Las Gaviotas serve the clothing-optional community.
