Beaches in Puerto de la Cruz

The beaches in Puerto de la Cruz are unique in he fact that they contain black sand; an interesting sight but extremely hot to walk on when the sun is out at full blast.

Playa de Martiánez

A small beach sitting next to the Costa de Martiánez complex. Excellent waves make this an ideal spot for surfers and body borders and the beach steps right out into town so amenities are never too far away.

Playa Jardín

A Blue Flag awarded beach, Jardín boasts a long strip of fine black sand with a good café serving hot food and much needed cold drinks and ice creams. Slightly less choppy water than Martiánez, the sea does become deep quickly so be mindful of the current.

Playa de San Telmo

A series of small, rocky coves running along the San Telmo tourist trail. Ideal for a quiet sunbath although the lack of sand may make these beaches a tad dull for young children.

Puerto Pesquero

The small harbour just off the main plaza, Pesquero is a rocky area popular with sun bathers looking to relax and occasionally take a dip in the calm, harbour side water.
