Latest reviews on La Cuesta's beaches

Playa De Las Teresitas
8 Siltin Reed

Today we had a wonderful time at this beach. The water was calm and perfect for swimming, and the temperature was pleasantly warm. There was plenty of room to relax and sunbathe on our own towels, or if preferred, we could rent a sun lounger. This beach has everything you could possibly need - restrooms, changing facilities, an outdoor shower, and even food and drink services right on the beachfront. The beach itself boasts beautiful golden sand, which was brought in from the Sahara in the 1970s. The absence of rocks or stones in the water made entering the water a breeze.

Playa de Las Gaviotas
8 Miguel Acosta

This location is not suitable for naturists, but it's generally alright.

Playa La Arenita
6 Johnathan Erkelens

This small beach is a hidden gem in Tenerife - it's the only spot on the whole island that has managed to escape the thick cloud cover that has blanketed the area for days. The sun is shining brightly here, and the beach is characterized by its soft gray sand and pebbles, so be sure to bring your flip flops! It's wonderfully quiet, with plenty of great shops and restaurants nearby. Plus, you can get a parasol and two sunbeds for just €7.50 - an absolute bargain!

Playa Las Arenas
10 Nikolai Petrovich

This is one of my favorite beaches on the entire island. It offers a great spot for swimming that is protected by a breakwater, and there is also a pier for jumping into the water. The Red Cross has a presence near the pier, so it feels safe to jump. Another great feature of this beach is the abundance of restaurants along the shoreline. However, be aware that the beach is pebbly and can be uncomfortable to walk on. I recommend wearing slippers or other protective footwear.
