San Miguel de Abona
8 Owen McAllister

The perfect spot for capturing beautiful pictures. I highly suggest a visit!

Playa de Ajabo
6 James Dean

This location may not have all the bells and whistles, but it's still a great spot for a simple, laid back day at the shore. The views from the balconies above are simply breathtaking - it's a scene you won't soon forget.

Playa La Ballena
10 Erikka Barsova

This small beach is perfect for kids and dog owners alike. It's close to the road and is sheltered from the wind, making it a great spot for the kids to splash around in the shallow waters. Unfortunately, there is no shade or toilet facilities available.

Playa Las Galgas
8 Joost van der Kooi

Playa Las Galgas is a great option if you're looking for a peaceful, clean, and beautiful spot. It has light sand with pebbles, and it's usually not crowded. The absence of bars, beds, and other amenities is actually a plus, as it's nice to escape the hustle and bustle of more popular beaches. We stayed in an AirBnB up the hill and came to this beach for a few weeks in a row - it was always pleasant and clean. Swimming is easy, but I recommend bringing water shoes, and be mindful of the two big rocks on each side - the tide is more powerful there. Families with small children were also frequent visitors, and it seemed like the perfect spot for them. So, if you're looking for a tranquil and picturesque beach, this is the place for you. If you prefer a livelier atmosphere, then Los Christianos or Las Americas may be more suitable.

Playa del Horno
8 Matthew

That place is quite secluded and peaceful. It seems to be mostly frequented by locals and those with dogs. There are much more attractive beaches in the vicinity.

Playa Escondida
