Maria Jimenez Beach
8 Irina Popescu.

Maria Jimenez Beach was my absolute favorite! The sand was soft and smooth, and there were no rocks in the water or on the shore - it was perfect for a great time. What's more, the beach was easy to access, making it even more enjoyable!

Beach of the Castle (Garden Beach)
6 Cyrus Ralston

One of my top beach picks in Tenerife. Watching the sun setting here is a truly remarkable experience - you can also admire the grandeur of Teide and how it gets enveloped by the clouds. A must-see when visiting Tenerife!

Bollullo Beach
8 Kaiya Wouters

Playa del Bollullo is lovely and not too crowded. The sea is quite wild, so there is a red flag warning. I'd suggest parking your car on the main road, about a 5 minute drive away from the beach. The last stretch of the road is a one-way for two-way traffic, which can be a bit intimidating. If you do decide to drive all the way, there is a restaurant at the beach where you can park for 3 euros. The food there is really good, so I'd definitely recommend it!

Playa de Radazul
8 Shen Ting

This beach near Tabaiba Baja is an ideal spot for snorkeling.

Maritimo Cesar Manrique
4 Davide Rossi

This beach, which seems to mainly serve as a home for the homeless (judging by the presence of tents), has the potential to be a hidden gem in the city. However, regrettably, it appears that nobody pays much attention to this place.

Playa de la Nea
8 Danielle Vivian

This tranquil beach is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With limited people around, it's the perfect spot for a laid-back day. The parking lot is ample, however, the only downside is that there are no public restrooms. Sadly, the small bar that used to be around has shut down.
