Playa de la Tejita
BeachPhotospot
Directions

Escape the crowds and discover one of Tenerife's most stunning natural beaches, a vast expanse of golden sand stretching over a kilometer. Here, the wild beauty is amplified by the constant breeze, making it a haven for windsurfers, and the dramatic backdrop of the Montaña Roja (Red Mountain). It's a bit of a walk from the car park, about 5-10 minutes along a flat trail, but that seclusion is exactly what makes it special, especially the clothing-optional area near the mountain's base. The waves can be lively, so it's a perfect spot for a refreshing dip on a warm day.

Tips:

  • Be careful, the waves can be big and the drop to the ocean is very steep.

  • Go to see sunrise or sunset on the beach.

  • Mostly is too windy on this beach - come early and hide in one of the stone walls protection people build.
