The 23 best beaches in and around Arona

Playa de Las Américas in Tenerife is the perfect spot for sun, fun, and relaxation! The beaches are beautiful with black sand and clear water, great for swimming or just chilling out. There’s a lively vibe with plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops all around. It’s super tourist-friendly and always full of energy. Whether you’re into beach days or nightlife, this place has it all. A great holiday destination you’ll want to come back to!

Nice for for a walk with plenty of shops nearby. We didn't go on the beach as not into it personally. There were surfers near by in the wavy bits of the sea. Great opportunities to see and take pictures of a sunset. I took some near the surfing area

Nice place to visit plenty of places to eat and drink and a few shops too

A Geologist’s paradise! I did stargazing and a general coach trip, both up Mount Tiede, and they were amazing experiences. Sky tours (or similar) do FREE photos whereas ALL other operators charge for sunset photos and the like.

Love Las Americas. Always something going on. Always busy with people and a great atmosphere.

Playa de las Américas Review Playa de las Américas feels like a second home, with an inviting atmosphere and a vibrant surf scene. The beach offers amazing waves for both beginners and advanced surfers, making it a perfect spot for all skill levels. With beautiful people all around, the fun continues off the beach at the numerous bars and restaurants featuring live music. Having visited three times in two years, I can confidently say it’s a fantastic destination for surf, sun, and good times!

Second time I've visited tenerife, I absolutely love it there

Its golden sands and clear waters are appealing, but the presence of ferry harbors is a significant drawback. Additionally, it gets quite windy, which can spoil the atmosphere. Overall, it's an okay beach. However, the area around the beach offers a variety of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options.

As someone who has vacationed along all the Mediterranean coasts, I first want to mention that swimming in the ocean offers a completely different experience - with high waves and strong tides. While Los Cristianos is a charming town in Tenerife, unfortunately the beach isn't as clean as it could be due to the nearby port. There's also a general odor present, albeit mild, which I'm comparing to other beaches I've visited. For example, Las Vistas Beach or El Camisón are much more enjoyable - they're wider, more beautiful, and relatively cleaner. At the end of the day, I don't think anyone wants to swim in a bay where large cruise ships and car ferries are constantly coming and going. On the positive side, there are excellent beach volleyball courts available for those who want to play - they get wet from the waves which is great fun. One of the nice aspects of being in the town center is that you can easily shop at supermarkets for whatever you need. Additionally, there are dining options like McDonald's and Burger King in the surrounding area.

Playa de Los Cristianos is a long beach in the heart of one of Tenerife’s busiest resort towns. With soft pale sand and a gentle slope into the ocean, it’s especially popular with families and older travelers. The beach has earned the Blue Flag for its clean water, safety, and excellent services. Thanks to a breakwater, the ocean here is calm — no strong waves or currents — and lifeguards are on duty every day. MORE PLACES AND INFO ON WEB HONEST TENERIFE

Beautiful beach! Friendly for kids, as it has a smooth entrance in the water and there are no rocks. The sand is very soft, but it burns in the middle of the day. Never crowded and lots of stores and restaurants close by. Bathroom and showers are available

Nice beach with a beautiful view, warm waters and easy to get into on a windy day. The prices are very good for sun beds and umbrella compared to the other beaches and it is good to have cash on you. In the afternoon, you should just shuffle your feet when swimming in deeper waters, as there are sting rays laying on the sandy bottom. We accidenty stepped on two of them and we were lucky they just swam away. If you swim near crowds, they will not come by.

Good location but a bit noisy and smokey due to the port nearby.

Lovely beach with comfortable sunbeds and very reasonably priced 9euro for the day with umbrella. 3euro for one sunbed. Lots of bars and shops along the beach front. Roxanne's bar/ restaurant is a must for cocktails and food.

Nice and clean beach. You can lay forfree under the palms too. Quiet and no big vawes at all.

El Camisón Beach is just as enjoyable as Las Vistas. It's a bit further from Los Cristianos, but because it's a smaller cove that opens wider to the ocean, it usually has much fewer waves. However, we were there several times and on one occasion, the waves covered the entire beach including the sunbeds and even the small bar at the back. For this reason, I recommend thinking twice about where you leave your belongings when going into the sea. It might be safer to leave your items on the green grassy areas under the palm trees, as the weather can change suddenly and the waves can rise unexpectedly, that's just my humble suggestion. You'll have a great time though! The sand is amazing and it gives you the feeling of swimming in a large pool. Enjoy!

My absolute fav beach of ones I've been at. Clear waters, not to deep as has rocks further out, some nice waves.

It's a nice, quiet beach, but not too large. The ocean water is calm and clean (October 2025). For this reason, I think it is also a good beach for children. There aren't any toilets, but there is a bar-restaurant nearby. Parking spots can be found up to 1.5 km away.

Nice playa, super suggested for kids and family! Toilet on the seaside!

We are fans of wild beaches, but out of all the commercial ones, this one is the best! Yellow sand, not as crowded as Duque, clear water… pure enjoyment 🫶

Playa del Camisón is a beautiful beach located in the resort area of Playa de las Américas. Known for its golden sands and clear, calm waters, it's an ideal spot for a relaxing beach day. The beachfront promenade is lined with palm trees and offers a pleasant walk with access to nearby shops, restaurants, and bars. The sunsets from this beach are stunning; we visited several evenings to watch the sunset, and it was incredibly peaceful.

Very nice and clean beach with big waves and scenic views. There is a beautiful promenade to walk, with good restaurants and small local shops! Convenient parking underground. Small shopping mall. Beach has nice sand. Depending on weather waves can be very big. Good location for photoshoot

We’ve been all around Tenerife and this is definitely our favourite beach. Plenty of space and seating available, 2 sun beds under the umbrella for €19,95 (and a 3rd for 6€ more). It gets relatively busy so good to get there earlier (10am) if you want a seat, if not there is plenty of space to set up on the sand. The beach is clean and the water is great, if you want to buy something from the beach sellers it’s good to have some cash.

A beautiful beach, somewhat commercial, and often crowded with tourists. However, the beach itself has light sand and is clean. There's a shower at the light beach connecting to the dark beach, and free toilets are also available near the bar. The ocean was warm here, so we recommend it!

Free beach with turquoise water. Yellow sand, black sand - everything that you would desire. It is possible to rent an umbrella for a fee or buy one on the spot. Great experience.

One of my favorite beaches, golden sand, good entrance to the water, no big wave, there is a shower. If you dive, you can find all kinds of different fish at breakwaters!

The beach was quite clean and spacious (October 2025). The sand is black and volcanic. There is a beautiful promenade above where you can walk, with restaurants and small shops. There were showers and toilets, but not everywhere.

Absolutely loved Playa del Duque! Super clean, turquoise water, and parking just a few steps away. Great place to relax and enjoy the day.

The hike is good, except that in the start there are many dog poop. So you need to constantly watch your step :) otherwise great - especially before sunset. Good views

Once you are 300 meters in the dog pooh can’t bother you anymore. There is a lot of dog pooh here. Too many people are too simplistic to care about it. It is a great area you should visit the waterfront but also the path that goes between the smaller hills. The surface of the path along the coast is sometimes difficult to walk on you will need to watch your step here.

Beautiful place for a walk. We did a 5 mile loop around Roque de Rasca. Interesting deserty landscape. Very quiet.

Beautiful walk along the coast ! Bring suncream cus there is literally no shade. A great flat walk to do

It is a natural protected area along the coastline. There is a lighthouse, called El Faro De Punta Rasca. It's a precious area, to walk, run or hike.

Mysterious! Peaceful! If you go left you get to the lighthouse. If you go right you also get to the lighthouse. Finally all paths lead to the lighthouse. Enjoy your walk to the lighthouse! 👍

Great trails and otherworldly landscapes. Enjoyable walk

Nice beach, nice water - but very crowded and many annoying people trying to sell stuff. Tenerife certainly has better beaches - more raw and beautiful. Still a good choice to go when you want to book sun chairs/lounges and have restaurants close by.

Lovely, large beach which is always popular and busy but without feeling overcrowded, at least at this time of year (late October). We've had no problems getting sunbeds and the prices for hire - €4 each for the day - are reasonable. The water is generally fairly calm, or as calm as you're going to get with the Atlantic, and there's some fantastic snorkeling to be had around any of the artificial rock formations. There's a huge variety of fish there, that presumably most beachgoers are completely unaware of, and the shoals seem largely unfazed as you drift past watching them.

Playa Las Vistas turned out to be a wonderful beach that we truly enjoyed during our week-long vacation. First, I should mention that it's a very wide beach, it takes about 15 minutes to walk from one end to the other. While there are still tidal waves here, you'll experience fewer waves on the eastern side of the beach. The water is completely clear and the sand is fine, almost like Cleopatra sand. You can enjoy free showers, and most importantly. it's located very close to Los Cristianos, so it will probably be close to your hotels as well. You should definitely add this beach to your favorites rather than the beaches in the eastern Adeje region. It was the best one after visiting more than 10 different beaches.

The Beach of the Views in Tenerife is a beautiful and clean spot to relax and enjoy the sun. The water is clear, the sand is well-maintained, and overall, it’s a great place to spend the day. What brings the rating down slightly is the constant presence of people trying to sell things — massages, drinks, knockoff items, and other things you’re probably not interested in. It can get a bit annoying when you’re just trying to unwind. Still, if you can look past that, it’s definitely worth a visit for the clean beach and the overall chill vibe. Just be ready to say “no, gracias” quite a few times!

Long, wide golden sand beach noticeably bigger compared to the Playa de Los Cristianos. It’s a great spot for a beach walk, as the coastline is longer and lined with more restaurants and shops. There are plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas available. You’ll also find showers and toilets at the entrances. As with most places in the area, the restaurants are quite touristy, so expect to see pizza, burgers, pasta, steak, and seafood on most menus rather than local dishes.

Nice beach, good snorkelling. Ruined by the traders who relentlessly pester and pressure you to buy blankets. They are incredibly rude people who will casually insult you and your family. A real shame and put a cloud over our stay on the beach. Don’t buy things from them as you will only fuel the problem and these poor people will continue to be stuck in gangs and forced to sell.

The beach is lined with numerous cafes, restaurants, and shops, offering plenty of options for dining and leisure. The promenade is perfect for a leisurely stroll, providing picturesque views of the ocean. Whether you're looking to relax by the water or enjoy some local cuisine, Las Vistas Beach has something for everyone.

What can I say great beach with lots of bars, restaurant’s and shops. Something for everyone. Only negative are the street sellers but most are pleasant once you say “no thank you” the ones selling excursions seemed to be the most forceful.

Playa Fañabé is a pale sand beach in a busy touristic area, protected by a breakwater, with calm water, a gradual entry, and lifeguards on duty daily. It has a Blue Flag for cleanliness and safety, and offers views of La Gomera and beautiful sunsets. The beach can get crowded. Facilities include free showers, toilets, changing rooms, sunbeds from €6, and beach bars. The nearby harbour offers water sports and boat trips. Parking is limited near the beach. Bus: Lines 447, 452, 467, 471, 473. MORE INFO ON THE WEBSITE: HONEST-TENERIFE

Fañabé Beach is our favorite beach! It's very safe for children, has clean restrooms, and a wide variety of restaurants just a few minutes' walk away. The water is crystal clear, making it perfect for a family day out. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous safe lots if lifeguards on. The showers for feet loos staffed close to shops and bars. Loungers range from 18 euros to 24 didn't price the double bed type ones.

An amazing view, great water to swim and top servicing

A lovely beach. Great waves when we visited.

Lovely beach with some big red crabs.

Undoubtedly, this beach stands out as one of the most picturesque destinations, renowned for its breathtaking sunsets. The setting sun provides an exceptional backdrop for capturing stunning family photographs, with the sea’s vibrant hues serving as a picturesque backdrop.

Accessibility is great here. Special spot for any one that's disabled and the lifeguards have a special trike to help you into the sea if needed and a wooden walkway to get you most of the way there if you can walk. Public toilets are very close amd also an accessible toilet available. Beautiful black sand too. The water is clear and child friendly.

Very nice beach. Black thich sand that is perfectly suitable for running and walking. Compared to other small beaches around its best. Has a good and free public toilet. Surrounded by bars, restaurants, and a McDonalds, where you can always buy an ice cream for 1,3 Euros. 😀 also a popular spot for watching sunrise and sunset

Lovely area. Great beach with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars 😀 plenty for everyone 😃 great beach 🏖️ even the lucky lucky men Took a simple “no thank you”didn’t bother me anymore 👍🏻

Lots of shops and restaurants. Lots to do either on land or sea, go on the boats or play on the inflatables. Rent motorbikes or jetskis, beach is nice as sand is lighter in colour.

Costa adeje beach is fantastic and by far one off our favourite places to relax with plenty of shops and restaurants behind and vip sunbeds to hire with drinks included. 20/25 min walk down the front to Porta calone for all you watersports and activities

It's a lovely beach, volcanic sand, great for sunbathing, great music beats played at some of the beach bars. Loved watching the sunset.

Beautiful and cozy place! 🥰 With separate space for drinks and meals which makes it even nicer! The waiter really kind and the food very tasteful and original food! Everything perfect, we will repite soon since we’re looking forward to trying many more things from the menu!

After reading the reviews of this new place decided to visit late afternoon. Have to say the food was gorgeous and the service was great and with a smile. Had the best veggie burger I’ve ever tasted. The decor was lovely and a great way to end our holiday and we’ll be back next time. Take yourself there and support a new business with a unique menu and vibe.

Take a small detour from the tourist traps and visit this local gem with an interesting and very reasonable priced menu. We had a bunch of starters and smaller dishes to share to get around all the tempting flavours and the best cava sangria and lemonades for the kids. The area is not interesting but the place certainly is.

Amazing breakfast, definitely recommend. Everything served beautifully and tasty. Great morning start and definitely will come back for dinner.

Such a pretty restaurant, very nice ambiente with delicious food and drinks. Excellent service, the waitress was very kind. She translated the whole menu for us. Also, there are a lot of parking spaces. We recommend it 100%!

The entire experience at Azul Flojito was great! Had breakfast and dinner here, amazing - every time! Service is along the same lines. Also I do apreciate the set-up, very cozy and clean! Highly recommended

Perfect dinner. The service was very good, the drinks were of high quality, the food’s very tasty and innovative. Had salmon with mango gazpacho followed by a burger with fried plantain. Definitely recommend!

Good playa for evening stroll

Nice place to stay if you want peace and quiet and do not require beach. Technically there are beaches here, but hardly usable because they are too stony.

Nice place with beautiful views

It's ok

Love to just sit and relax

A great place away from the hussel and bussel

The Place is Divine OK

It is always crowded. So keep an eye out on your stuff. We always took only card from our hotel room. No phones, no wallets. We wanted to see something interesting with the masks but we were disappointed. Almost no ocean creatures and lots of rubbish.

Beautiful beach. Lots of people but plenty of space. Around the rocks on the left hand side the water is really clear for snorkelling.

Here you find life. Instead of boring small beaches or rocky beaches. You have two options the quiet beach at the right or the beach with fun waves in the middle. I didn't try the left one. I tried other beaches but noooo. Next time I will go back to this smooth sandy wide beach with the same hotel behind it.

Not that good. Is always windy and that beautiful. The side walk is good but i think is better during the night. Suggest to check playa de la dunque instead the place and atmosphere is 100% better. The beach sell are very loud and you should always keep an eye in your personal things.

One of the most practical beaches arround the area. The beach is sandy, you have bars and restaurants available in the area with decent prices. Very popular with tourists, so if you like a quiet beach, this is not for you. But dor a quick dip in the sea, it is good. Parking places are available in the area, so it tales max 5 minutes to walk down here.

Came here to watch the sunset one night and was lovely. We were the only ones on the beach. Would be amazing for a sunset swim.

Beautiful beach, the waves are awasome. There was a lot of people but it was weekend, a side that didnt change our impression

Lovely town with many mini beaches. Great small shops with restaurants done the back roads as well as the port area. Alot quieter part of Tenerife

if there is ever a contest of "the world's worst beaches" this would surely be a contender. wedged in between a marina and a busy street, this pebble and rock beachlet is really nothing to look at.

The calmest beach on Tenerife with the most open-minded people

This is the nearest beach that we just happened to live around, it is a pebbles/small rocks beach, good restaurants around, there is also a children’s park which our kids(5.5, 3.5 and 2) have enjoyed several times

Not good for sunbathing are jist rocks and volcanic stones, maybe for walks

Lovely relaxing area , great beach , plenty of bars and restaurants with freshly caught fish

A mixed sandy, pebble and rocky beach with dark grey sand (it gets hot!), it's a long beach and doesn't usually get overcrowded, parking as elsewhere can be a problem. Plenty of restaurants to choose from along the front and a few more in the town.

Great place, lovely atmosphere and I will definitely come back here on my next visit to Tenerife.

(Translated by Google) Very wide promenade where we can find bars, restaurants, shops, etc... The entire promenade is lined with benches where you can take a breather or stop to watch a musical performance. You can also rest on the sun loungers looking at the sea. (Original) Paseo marítimo muy amplio dónde podemos encontrar bares, restaurantes, tiendas, ect... Todo lo l paseo está bordeado por bancos donde puedes tomar aire o pararte a ver alguna actuación musical. También puedes descansar en las tumbonas mirando al mar.

One of the best nice Hard Rock Shops. Looks Like a pyramid. 😊

All great

Warm silent beach without waves. Lot of rocks in sea, which is not too pleasant when you entering the water.

Beautiful beach with clear and tranquil waters. There is a bar where you an get reasonable priced and very nice drinks (cocktails are €6 and a pint of Estrella is €2.5). 2 sunlonger and umbrella are €12. The three stars are because there are no toilets on the beach, but there is the usual shower. Plenty vendors with donuts, drinks and sunglasses too !

I read that the duck pancakes were worth travelling for- and around here any ‘travel’ means tackling hills that feel like mountains!! So we walked 15 mins downhill to find this gem tucked up on the front with a spectacular view. They don’t disappoint! This is authentic food. The pancakes were pancakes (not flour disks that dry and break) the sauce was home made, and the duck cooked by someone who knows how to roast a duck! The best duck pancakes I have ever eaten- and I’ve eaten plenty. Sadly, my eyes were bigger than my belly so I am taking home 1/2 the wet menu as it beat us in the heat- but it was great Chinese food done properly. Lovely staff who were attentive without being pushy. If you are in the area- find them- you won’t be disappointed you choose Chinese whilst in Tenerife!

⭐ 4/5 – Great Beach with a Few Limitations Playa de El Bobo is a lovely beach—clean, easy to access, and great for a relaxed day by the sea. Sunbeds and parasols are available for €6, and the natural rock wave breaker makes the water calmer and safer for swimming. But rocks under foot at places sea shoes recommend There are a few “lookie lookie” men walking around selling food, drinks, and towels, but they’re not pushy or harassing—just doing their thing. There’s no public toilet facility, which is a bit of a downside, but there is a small café stand nearby selling drinks and light refreshments. A solid beach option if you’re staying near the strip

Loved it!!! Friendly and relaxing Good food spots nearby and the sea is good

Lovely beach, beautiful sunset. There’s a lot to see and do here with right timing. Lovely walks and there’s something for everyone. Highly recommended

Nice beach for children to have fun, and for toddlers too, no waves, however, there are pebbles, so you can consider it as a natural swimming pool. great for swimming with ease for a long time. Best time to watch the sunset, so enjoy this beach for a romantic picnic to watch the sunset, great for pictures of sunset.

Good beach and big water hot big waves so very good

Here It Is Playa De Los Tarajales in Los Cristianos, Tenerife. About Los Cristianos: Los Cristianos, located on the southern coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, has a fascinating history and geography: History -Early References: The first historical mention of Los Cristianos dates back to the 16th century, when it was described as a harbor. -Pirate Raids: For centuries, the area faced threats from pirates, which hindered its development until the 19th century. -Industrial Growth: In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Los Cristianos began to thrive as an import-export hub, with industries like fish salting, resin production, and agriculture (notably bananas and tomatoes). -Tourism Boom: The mid-20th century saw a shift from industry to tourism, transforming Los Cristianos into one of Tenerife's most popular destinations. Geography -Location: Nestled between Montaña Chayofita and Montaña de Guaza, Los Cristianos is situated along a natural bay. -Beaches: The town boasts two main beaches—Playa de Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Vistas—known for their golden sands and calm waters. Its harbor is a key transportation hub, connecting Tenerife to nearby islands like La Gomera, El Hierro, and La Palma.

Lovely place to chill perfect sea and beach front

Very nice sunset with the view of Los Cristianos Porte and amazing view to the one of the beautiful Canary Islands La Gomera. Around here can more beautiful beaches can be visited. Unfortunately the not all the restaurants are having a nice and a good quality food and service. I wish they will take all the visitors as our guests who helps the economy of our islands and not be seen as cash machine’s 🥴

Great beach for shore fishing as well as bathing in the sunshine, not a sandy beach , mainly gravely and rocks that's why it's never overcrowded, lovely place to watch the ferries coming in.

Not a beach, its a little stony beach, always no body there,

You will see a romantic sunset with ocean view.

Nice rock beach. In rock there are many places where you can stay. But it is a bit harder to get there, sometimes you have to climbe a little bit. The water is full of fish, perfect for snorkeling 😊 But I highly recommend to have some shoes to the water. 😉

For us, it was hands down the best Tenerife beach. It's not much of a beach, really. There are some rocks and giant oval stones where you have to pay attention when descending to and getting out of the water, especially at high tide. But the scenery, caves, and looks of Montaña Amarilla, and above all, the plethora of sea life, make this small place truly outstanding.

The rock beach was scenic but not very enjoyable for relaxing. Walking barefoot was uncomfortable, and swimming was tricky with the sharp stones. It’s better suited for a short stroll and photos than for spending a full day. Pretty views, but overall not the most fun experience.

The beach is little,indeed a place where you can take a “cool” photo but other than that it’s full of tourists,posing. Not a place to relax,also full of trash.

Nice place for hiking at low tide. You can even reach Golf del Sur on foot and experience the beauty of the ocean.

Montaña Amarilla is a natural monument on the south coast of Tenerife, known for its yellow-black volcanic cliffs, sculpted by erosion and waves. It’s a paradise for snorkelers thanks to its crystal-clear turquoise waters and diverse marine life. The area also features sunbathing platforms and a hiking trail to the top of the volcano, offering spectacular panoramic views. MORE PLACES ON WEB HONEST TENERIFE

Cool spot with a very cool vibe . If you're up to swimming, diving, snorkeling, this place is for you. Well, if you're just chilling and sunbathing, it is also ok . Its only i dont like the rocky beaches so I just drank several beers at the only bar stall there . And yes some hiking spots for good pictures!
