Las Teresitas Beach

Fantastic experience: beautiful beach, one of my favourites

Fantastic experience: Most beautiful beach on Tenerife.. worth the trek to get here.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach! Great for family. They did a good job protecting from the waves. Long Sandy beach. Plenty of parking space. Recommending to a friend

Positive experience: Disappointed given its high ratings. There are much better beaches at the south west!

Fantastic experience: Large free parking and many toilets by the beach

Fantastic experience: Great beach

Fantastic experience: Amazing beach. Very soft sand. For me, number 1 in Tenerife. Free parking by the beach.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful, accessible, with zero waves and plenty of parking space.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place. Highly recommend to visit.

Positive experience: This beach would undoubtedly be one of the most beautiful in Tenerife BUT numerous supertankers are 'parked' right behind the breakwater... It's a real shame! The countryside is wonderful.

Fantastic experience: Super beach, here you also have beach feeling, in December at 28 degrees is already awesome. Sunbeds 3 €, beach bars good prices. Great parking right next to the beach.

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, the most charming beach on the island despite being artificial. Crystal clear and calm water that feels like being at the sea rather than the ocean, everything well-maintained, easy parking, and there are many palm trees on the beach that provide natural shaded areas. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches. Over 1km of well-maintained beach, keeping it that way is everyone's responsibility.

Positive experience: Beautiful sandy beach with spectacular colors, I was there in early June and the parking was fine, I suppose it gets more complicated later in the summer.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach, affordable beach bar and sunbeds. Unfortunately a bit dirty. The municipality should react here and impose fines.

Fantastic experience: Good beach if you're looking for a fine sand beach with not much wave. Recommended to go early because the parking gets full (August)

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, very clean. We ate very well at one of the beach bars. The parking gets full and if it's a sunny day, it's hard to find shade, but it's worth it because of how beautiful it is. Besides, it has white sand. It also has showers and foot rinses.

Positive experience: Easy access beach, clean, calm waters, with palm tree shade, large parking nearby.

Fantastic experience: As always, wonderful and now with many more parking spaces, it is a pleasure to be able to visit it again without the stress of where to park.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to go with kids, no waves, with yellow sand, shade under the palm trees...

Fantastic experience: Iconic beach 9 km from Santa Cruz. Easy to swim thanks to the shallow waters and breakwaters. Light sand dotted with palm trees. Kiosks and various dining offers. Sunbeds and umbrellas (€4 each), all necessary facilities (showers, toilets, police station and Red Cross). Large parking.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach, the best on the island. Perfect sand, shallow water for kids, free parking, and there's plenty of space for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful white sand beach: one of the rare ones on the island. A barrier protects the beach from the waves. You can come with family. There are showers. There is a free parking nearby. Be careful if you leave around 6-7 PM, expect some traffic to get out.

Positive experience: Nice, clean beach. The restaurants are more of a rip-off. There are plenty of parking spaces. You don't necessarily have to rent a sunshade. There are some shaded spots under the trees.

Positive experience: Very beautiful beach and crystal clear sea. We rented two sunbeds and an umbrella at the first kiosk (€6 all day), but there is also a large area for the free beach. I saw environmental operators passing by to empty the bins and clean the beach. There are palm trees under which many people were lying down.

Positive experience: The beach is still okay, the food and drinks were better and cheaper at the old bars and food trucks, now it's absolutely expensive rip-off. Mojitos and Caipirinhas are absolutely terrible, the locals therefore bring everything themselves.

Fantastic experience: Clean beach, with a beautiful view. Probably the calmest and safest beach for swimming in Tenerife.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, desert-like sand and crystal-clear sea, very very windy, there are many palm trees where one can take shelter from the sun and a large free parking lot although it is often full.

Fantastic experience: Battle food, but you eat well, the staff is attentive. Recommended for its hamburgers.

Positive experience: Good number of parking spots, nice sandy beach. However, beach is very windy.

Fantastic experience: Imported sand from Sahara and only one non-black sand beach, great.

Positive experience: The worst beach we have been to. There is a lot of wind, the sand is coarse, and if you eat there... your food will be sandy. We didn't last long there. There is parking, but there isn't much swimming area.

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, the best beach in all of Tenerife, which does not reflect well on the island in terms of beaches since Las Teresitas is an artificial beach. Good facilities, plenty of parking, and a nice atmosphere.

Positive experience: The beach in general is very nice and beautiful. It has plenty of parking, although if you don't go early, you'll face a long wait and parking becomes complicated. It has showers and public changing rooms, is adapted for people with reduced mobility, and also has a few beach bars. I recommend checking if it's windy before going if you don't want to come out like a croquette; I also recommend positioning yourself from number 5 onward to avoid the wind as much as possible. It's an ideal beach to go with children since there are no waves; you have to go in quite a bit for it to cover, and there is no step when entering.

Fantastic experience: Sandy beach of the Sahara with endless services. Showers, restrooms, various facilities for disabled visitors. Several beach bars. Police service and lifeguards, and many parking spaces right by the beach.

Fantastic experience: Perfect. The sand beach is surrounded by mountains. There were enough parking spots (all free!), also changing cabinets, small showers and toilets. My recommendation: book two sun beds with umbrella for 6€! Totally worth it, especially on a windy day as these are located more in the back where the sand is more compact.

Negative experience: Lines on weekends to enter, lack of parking since the parking area on the lower lane has been removed for some time. Moreover, if you pass through that lane to reach the end of the beach, you get fined. At least in summer, make it easier to park in the lower area.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach with plenty of parking spaces, few bars/restaurants lined up on the beach (card payment available), beautiful water with sandy coastline, there is a nice viewpoint on top of the beach to see the whole beach from above (you can drive there but there is no parking). - just park quickly on the road, take photos and leave :) )

Fantastic experience: We were told it used to be windy, but we were very lucky, very nice beach, plenty of parking, beach bars, spacious and quiet where you can take a refreshing dip or even go snorkeling at the breakwater, totally recommendable. You can take a walk around and discover a rainbow bridge, drawings from reference artists, a church split in half, or the village of San Andrés where you can eat at good prices.

Positive experience: Very quiet and spacious beach, it is surrounded all around by a breakwater, so if you like calm seas and not waves, this is your place. The water is very clean and there are showers afterward. Right at the beginning, there is free public parking.

Negative experience: I give one star not for the beach itself but for how the municipality takes care of it. Beautiful beach with very fine sand, but it's a shame about the uncivility of the people and the negligence of the staff; it is really dirty. The photos taken were snapped in just two square meters, have more respect for what nature gives us, we are guests... Shame on you!!!!

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, good service from the local establishments. Good bus connection. We visited at the beginning of August - unfortunately, it was very windy, but that is nature.

Negative experience: Beautiful orange-yellow sandy beach recommended in guides. Several free parking lots nearby. Well equipped with showers (free) and sunbeds (paid). But the beach is completely artificial with imported sand and is located between the cemetery, the industrial port, the canal (sewage?) with a view of oil tankers and container gates that spoil the whole experience a bit...

Fantastic experience: Good beach, nothing out of this world, fine sand and turquoise water.

Positive experience: A beach this big and of that type should have better services, and I'm not referring to more sun loungers and identical bars to each other, but a dog area for example, and to designate something for sports (volleyball, beach soccer) and of course the ramps for disabled people I believe do not fully serve their purpose.

Fantastic experience: Great beach .. with clear sand !! The sunbeds are managed by the beach bars at a good price, and you can eat there to perfection !! Friendly and efficient professionals !! Free parking and there is plenty .. along the beach !! You can't miss this beach !! It's worth it !!

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach. Large, accessible, with good and large parking, numerous beach bars... And clean, clear, and calm water without big waves.

Fantastic experience: very beautiful place, but it can get very crowded. You have an option of shade or not, and there are toilets and showers every 30 meters, very clean also

Fantastic experience: Lovely place. Not so crowded during the week, a lot of space, the water is warm and clean (not including the sand). The warning flags are available, a lot of cafes and beautiful mountains. Huge parking, better to come in the morning.

Fantastic experience: Great beach with gently sloping water. You can always find a parking spot with a short wait. Sunbeds are absolutely cheap for €2.

Fantastic experience: Very crowded and full of tourists. Well equipped but there are definitely better beaches. Overrated and too popular, yet it deserves the 5 stars. Nothing compared to the others you find on the north side if you want to explore, in terms of scenery there are better options.

Fantastic experience: Very nice beach. Clean and well-maintained. Gentle entry into the water. There are kiosks with cold drinks and food available at intervals. Showers and toilets are available.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful and perhaps the only true sandy beach in Tenerife worth this name, with bar and restaurant services. The others are just makeshift beaches with pebbles and uncomfortable.

Fantastic experience: Great beach, a lot of parking spaces, but be there early, on weekends it gets very crowded. You can use two sunbeds with an umbrella for 6€, but only as long as there are some available!!!

Fantastic experience: A beautiful place to visit at least once, well-kept free beach and stunning sea.

Fantastic experience: Large bright sandy beach. There is some shade provided by trees. Many parking spaces, toilets, showers. Red Cross and police always present. Currently (31.07.24) construction site right at the back by the rocks. However, it is not disturbing.

Positive experience: Very dirty. The police don't even walk around the beach. The beach bars are very expensive except for Bamboo. The town hall doesn't take care of the area or the users.

Negative experience: The beach has always been one of my favorites because it's close and is themed after 'The Little Mermaid', which is great for kids, but the last few times I've been, it has been dirty, unattended, and with little supervision.

Fantastic experience: A great beach, very well equipped and clean. There are beach bars every now and then with umbrellas and sunbeds for 5 euros for two sunbeds with an umbrella. I think a single sunbed was 2 euros and the beds are 10 euros for as long as you want. The beach bars offer food at a very good price and there are free restrooms nearby. There is free parking right on the beach. A great place to spend the day.

Fantastic experience: Well protected for small children, the back area of the 'sea' goes very deep. Sunbeds + umbrella cost us €6.

Fantastic experience: Golden sandy beach. Suitable for a day of pure relaxation. Easy to reach and served by a large free parking area.

Positive experience: Considered one of the most famous beaches on the island, I frankly don't understand why... all bars are the same with high prices, breakwaters with boats that cover the horizon (and make the water calm), very windy, showers and facilities as well as a large free parking, beautiful views of the mountains and the village. The cemetery next to the beach is curious. The reference beach for the north, but not the most beautiful.

Positive experience: The truth is that I hadn't been here in a long time!! But to be honest, I was disappointed!! The water is almost stagnant due to a wall!! Although it was very clean.

Fantastic experience: Today it’s fantastic. Today, July 25, 2024, I found a pair of children's glasses. If someone has lost them, please ask the lifeguards; we handed them over to them. I went to the police station and there was no one there, so we gave them to the lifeguards.

Fantastic experience: Very nice beach but hardly any parking. When there is one, the beach has a lot of space but hardly any shade except for a few trees. There are changing rooms and showers. Every few meters there is food and drink, although expensive and small portions. The beach is also very windy and the sand spreads well. They advertise with angel sharks. However, we didn't see any while snorkeling but other fish.

Fantastic experience: Very nice, large beach, sand from the Sahara, breakwaters, ideal entry into the water. The only problem is parking... you have to be patient waiting for a free spot.

Positive experience: Super great sandy beach when it's not windy, not recommended when it's windy.

Fantastic experience: Lovely beach but it was a bit windy.

Fantastic experience: Nice place, clean beach.

Fantastic experience: Very large and well-equipped beach. Public services available, the possibility to have a sunshade and two sunbeds for 6 euros.

Fantastic experience: Super beach, but it's always incredibly windy. The sand is fantastic, the atmosphere is unique, but you need to be prepared. Shady spots are scarce, so you need to arrive early. On weekends, it's all about the locals, while weekdays have more space.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach near Santa Cruz de Tenerife. There are free parking spots immediately behind the beach, usually full. Access to the beach and restrooms is free, but it is possible to rent sunbeds and umbrellas for a fee; there are places to drink or eat.

Fantastic experience: Very nice beach, it has everything you need: changing room, toilet, cafe, sunbeds for €2. It is great for children because there are no strong waves. But usually there is a very strong wind that lifts all the sand into the air, and this sand then ends up everywhere, in your hair, in your mouth.

Fantastic experience: The view is great, there is a large parking lot, cheap sunbeds at 10€/day for two.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with all the services on site. The costs for the umbrella were really low as well.

Positive experience: Great beach. It is really very nice here. Enough free parking directly behind the beach, inexpensive sunbeds, and several beach bars as well as lockers. Also, we were approached by a vendor only once during our 4-hour stay. The only downside is the sometimes very strong wind that blows the sand right into your face. Nevertheless, I give it a clear recommendation.

Fantastic experience: Las Teresitas beach in Tenerife is a real hidden gem. The golden sand, which comes specially from the Sahara, and the many palm trees create a true vacation feeling. The water is clear and calm, perfect for swimming and splashing around, especially for families with children. The facilities are top-notch: plenty of parking spaces, clean restrooms, and many nice cafés and restaurants right by the beach. You can rent sun loungers and umbrellas, and sports enthusiasts will also find plenty to enjoy. There is beach volleyball, yoga, and various water sports. The beach is only 10 minutes from Santa Cruz and easily accessible by bus. In short: Las Teresitas beach is the ideal place for a relaxing day by the sea and should not be missed on any trip to Tenerife!

Fantastic experience: Very comfortable! There is a shower on the beach, a café. Soft sand for delicate bodies. Depth is good for children.

Fantastic experience: I recommend, the beach is number one on my top beaches list in Tenerife

Fantastic experience: Surely one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Tenerife, but it's a pity that it's always too windy.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach... and spacious, a bit too close to the port! Upon arrival, you find a cemetery on the left, it brought a smile to my face.

Positive experience: Beach with artificially deposited sand. Waste of time. Better to look at it from above. The most beautiful beaches in Tenerife are in ..... Fuerteventura.

Fantastic experience: In my opinion, the most beautiful beach in Tenerife, but being in the North, it is very windy and after a while, it becomes hard to stay.

Positive experience: The beach is really wonderful, but there is one thing... when we first arrived here, we were very disappointed because there was a very strong wind and sand was flying everywhere, piercing the body like needles, and tanning or swimming was just impossible. But when we came the second time, the weather was calm and windless, and we had a great time. But I advise coming early because it's very hard to find a parking spot later.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, but you need to check the weather in advance and only go there to relax if there is no strong wind. Strong winds raise the sand and it becomes uncomfortable to relax.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach in a pleasant setting surrounded by nearby mountains, access is free, parking is free, there aren't too many people here. We were a bit disappointed with the weather... not that it wasn't warm and sunny, but the wind was too strong and the sand on the beach isn't sand but probably crushed shells of sea mollusks, which combined with the wind creates quite an unbearable prickly mixture that doesn't please your body and eyes. Swimming is pleasant here, but because of the wind we didn’t stay long and preferred to leave, as there are more than enough beaches and swimming options on the island.

Fantastic experience: A gorgeous beach, with very beautiful sand brought in from the Sahara, the ocean here is calm thanks to the breakwaters, the entrance is very gentle, so you can safely go with children, there are lifeguards who really watch over everything that happens here, the price for a sunbed is reasonable at 4 euros for two sunbeds, there are showers, toilets, a couple of bars, everything is very clean, and the water is simply fabulous, if you swim a little further, you can see some fish!

Fantastic experience: The beach is large, plenty of space, clean sand from the Sahara. The ocean is calm with a gentle slope into the water. Free parking, toilets, and showers. One downside - the wind! Check the weather, because if there is wind, it will be everywhere in the literal sense, making it impossible to relax, it will scratch your whole body.

Fantastic experience: The best beach on the island. Sand brought from the Sahara. Fine and clean. The beach is sheltered by a natural breakwater. Shallow entry into the water. Ideal for small children. Free parking. Toilets and changing rooms are every few meters. The view from the nearby rock is impressive...

Positive experience: Beautiful beach, beautiful surrounding landscapes. This beach would have been magnificent if it weren't bordered by nearby oil tankers. It detracts from the scenery and is not reassuring about the water quality in that area (even if I imagine, I hope, that it is monitored). It clearly prevents it from claiming to be the most beautiful in Tenerife! What a shame.

Fantastic experience: A very beautiful beach with Sahara sand. Nice and spacious and slightly protected in the mountains. There are loungers for €6 including a sun umbrella. There are also small local places available. Fries as well as drinks are also available here. I was here 9 years ago and I still like it very much.

Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches in the capital, Santa Cruz. Located a few kilometers from the city. Beautiful for enjoying hours of sun and sea. Well equipped with restrooms and restaurants. On weekends, despite there being ample parking, it's difficult to find a spot for the car.

Fantastic experience: Family beach in a very pleasant environment. Don't miss a visit to this place.

Fantastic experience: Artificial beach made of sand brought from the Sahara. It has free parking. It is good for being urban.

Fantastic experience: Just having these views is worth it.

Negative experience: The beach is artificial and not that great. Moreover, when there's even the slightest windy day, a lot of sand gets kicked up and it looks like a storm.

Positive experience: It's not a bad beach... The location and the usual wind don't help much, but when it's calm, the wind isn't strong and there aren't too many people, it's nice to take a swim and walk on the sand... But it's a popular beach... And it lacks everything... Maintenance, services, use, parking management, sanitation, dining options... In short...

Positive experience: Sand beach, artificial, brought from the Sahara, quite windy, at least the day we went, the parking was closed although there were places to park, a lot of stretch of sand but once in the water be careful with the stones.

Fantastic experience: Nice beach with no waves, artificial sand, and good parking.

Positive experience: It's not one of my favorite beaches on the island since when it's windy, you can't even stay there, and during the high season, it's very difficult to park in the area in general. However, I believe it's one of the must-visit places on a trip to Tenerife.
