Golden sand or black sand, quiet and far away or lively and close, sheltered or windy, between
rocks or trees… the beaches of Tenerife offer you endless options to choose from, from which you
will never go wrong, as each one offers you a completely unique experience, however, to make
your choice easier, we leave you this list where we hope you find your favorite beach.

PLAYA EL BOLLULLO
Among the banana plantations in the north of Tenerife we find this black sand beach, one of the favorites of all travelers, thanks not only to its sand but also to its crystalline water and its fun waves, which makes it the ideal beach to play with the waves.
PLAYA EL MEDANO
