Duke's Beach

Fantastic experience: One of my favorite beaches in Tenerife with crystal clear water. This is what the beach looks like on December 20, 2024. Very good and relaxing massage offered by Thai and Chinese on the beach, the price of it is 25€ -30 minutes and 50€ - 60 minutes.

Fantastic experience: My favorite beach in Tenerife

Fantastic experience: Probably the best beach in Tenerife or definitely my favourite

Fantastic experience: Small but cute, plenty of nice restaurants around

Fantastic experience: Very pleasant place for walks

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. Very comfortable sunbeds.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful, quiet, affordable

Negative experience: Full of trash, you can't swim a meter without finding a bag or a piece of plastic. During my time at the beach, I picked up 4 transparent plastic bags, a roll of packing tape, and a piece of glass. They talk a lot about the residents, but it is the tourists who shamelessly throw lemons when they finish their drink. While I was in the water, I couldn't stop pushing lemons and fruit pits away from the water. Then they say that tourism in the Canary Islands is respectful. On top of that, they do it without any respect, it looks like they are throwing it in the trash (normal, if you're a tourist you won't be fined for throwing trash in the sea).

Fantastic experience: This beach was one of our favorites. You pay a little more here than at other beaches, but for that, you get a larger umbrella with a handy shelf to put your things on and a comfortable sunbed with a cushion that feels really nice. We paid €19.05 for this. You can park fairly close to the beach in a paid parking lot, but we parked in a free parking lot. However, it gets full quickly, so get there early, about a 15-minute walk. There were the most vendors here, donuts for 4 euros and drinks around 2 euros. Later in the day, the cocktails come, as well as many massages on offer. One small drawback we found was that there is no shower at the beach itself, or we didn’t see it. However, there is a shower available at the beginning of the beach for €2.20/€2.50. There are also a few dining options nearby.

Fantastic experience: Blue water, beautiful waves that break only on the beach because it gets deep quickly. Very close to many hotels.

Fantastic experience: The beach has white sand, so the ocean water here seems to have such a magical color. There are always many holidaymakers on the beach. You can rent a sunbed. There is a lifeguard on the beach who watches over those wishing to climb the hill. Climbing the hill is not allowed. Vendors on the beach carry cocktails and blankets, and various food can be purchased from the merchants. It gets a bit annoying to watch the vendors. The restroom was not working when we were at the beach. There is no changing room.

Fantastic experience: Small and beautiful cove, but crowded with people. The water is completely clear and looks blue like a pool. Right next to it, there is a shopping center with free restrooms. The lifeguard was very attentive all the time, drawing attention and constantly preventing people from jumping from the left side rock (prohibited due to danger). There are loungers with umbrellas that can be rented. Be careful with the tide because it rises quite a bit and if you are in the front line, your things will get wet. The only negative is that there were a lot of people playing with balls, both in the water and on the shore, constantly hitting those around them.

Fantastic experience: Probably the best beach for location and attendance

Fantastic experience: Clean and beautiful.

Positive experience: Very beautiful beach! But not great for snorkeling: murky waters

Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach with light sand, we felt more comfortable on it than on the beach with black sand, there is a place to lie down, free of charge.

Fantastic experience: In my opinion, one of the best beaches on the island. Surrounded by good services and places to have lunch and dinner. The best hotels on the island are located there.

Fantastic experience: Superb beach, very family-friendly and nice. Be careful, there is a strong current.

Fantastic experience: Playa del Duque, located in the beautiful Costa Adeje of Tenerife, is undoubtedly a paradise that you must not miss visiting. This corner of the island perfectly combines luxury, natural beauty, and a laid-back atmosphere that invites relaxation. Its golden sands and crystal-clear waters provide the ideal setting to disconnect and enjoy the sun in a dreamy environment. The landscape is framed by elegant hotels and high-end restaurants, which elevates the experience to another level. The services on the beach are top-notch, with comfortable loungers, umbrellas, and exceptional customer service that makes you feel like you're in an exclusive resort. Moreover, the nearby promenade is perfect for enjoying a leisurely walk at sunset, with views that will leave you breathless. However, as in any popular tourist destination, it is important to be vigilant with your belongings, as pickpockets may be lurking. But with a little precaution, such as carrying only what you need and keeping your valuables well secured, you can enjoy this magical place with no worries.

Fantastic experience: We hadn't been there in many years, and the area is beautiful, everything is very clean and well-kept. A very nice urban beach with services.

Fantastic experience: Ideal for spending the day, with all services available. Totally recommended for everyone!!

Positive experience: The beach is quite cool and spacious. It has fine sand and few rocks. The only thing is that in August there are usually many currents, and with the strong waves, it makes swimming difficult. Yellow and red flags for a while. I didn't like that in the most western area we didn't find any showers or places to wash our feet.

Positive experience: Spectacular beach with clear waters, cold due to the Atlantic, very clean sand, and paid parking right next to it. It’s a shame that there are no showers, but otherwise, everything in the surrounding area is very well maintained.

Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach with a nice view

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, very nice environment. Watch out for young children, large powerful waves some days.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, due to the wind and large waves we couldn't swim.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing time at Playa del Duque! It's a very nice sand beach with beautiful, clear water. The waves can get pretty big, so be careful if you have kids. It's great that lifeguards are always on duty to ensure safety, and I even saw them rescue an older gentleman from the water. You can rent an umbrella and two sunbathing chairs for just 19.05 € for the whole day, which is super affordable. Parking is convenient too; you can park near the beach for 1.2 € per hour or take a short 10-minute walk up the hill and park for free. I really recommend visiting this beach!

Positive experience: Nice sandy beach with complete facilities. It's a pity there aren't more showers; we waited 10 minutes for our turn.

Fantastic experience: In my opinion, the most beautiful beach in Tenerife, if you are looking for comfort, services, restaurants, bars, and a mini shopping center with underground paid parking, at least the car doesn't stay under the sun, costing €1.8. You can find the beach with black volcanic sand in the northern part and the southern part with light sand from the Sahara desert; there is the option to rent sunbeds with umbrellas (2 sunbeds and 1 umbrella for €19.5 a day), otherwise the beach is free, and you can put your towel wherever you want. The northern part with the black sand, in my opinion, is quieter. The sea is not cold at all, rather very pleasant; the only thing is that the water is rough with waves. I would like to remind you that you are in the southern part of Tenerife, which is much sunnier than the north, so the sun is guaranteed, along with a pleasant breeze that helps ease the heat.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with sunbed and umbrella service

Fantastic experience: Lovely beach, spacious, and with golden sand. The sea is calm, there are a few stones at the entrance but it's not necessary to wear shoes. The only problem is with parking, usually the parking lot is full of motorhomes that take up the spaces, so you have to park far away.

Fantastic experience: After coming to Tenerife many times, it has been a real discovery. Turquoise water, clean, golden sand.. One of the best in Tenerife.

Positive experience: Very touristy place, huge crowd

Positive experience: The beach has beautiful views of the cliffs, but the beach itself is a bit overrated - narrow and rocky. There are a few nicer ones in the area.

Positive experience: One of the most famous beaches in Costa Adeje. Equipped area with large umbrellas and loungers with cushions, fair price. Good free space. The sand is a bit bothersome due to the presence of small stones and the ocean is quite choppy since there are no breakwaters like at other beaches, watch out for the waves.

Fantastic experience: Perfect beach, our favourite one. Kids loved the huge waves and the soft gold sand.

Fantastic experience: Golden beach, crystal clear water, everything is well maintained, sunbeds cost very little compared to Italy, in my opinion the most beautiful beach in Tenerife, perfect for spending a pleasant day, a lot of restaurant choices. I highly recommend it.

Negative experience: Average beach!! They talk very well but it's average!!

Fantastic experience: It has the most spectacular views while walking, the gardens are gorgeous in their decoration, there are cool restaurants, etc., but the building is divine, a mix of Mediterranean...

Negative experience: Hello, greetings! I am here to leave this information. My son had his black bag with blue letters stolen on Thursday. Inside was his iPhone 15 Pro Max and the house key. We went and filed a report, but that was left in limbo, and we still don’t know anything. That happened at El Duque beach.

Fantastic experience: Beach with a lot of slope and strong currents (at least the day we went, the water dragged you down with the waves and it was uncomfortable to be there). We went with a two-year-old boy and there was too much current for him. I didn't like it much. I prefer Torviscas beach.

Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches on the island

Negative experience: Very annoying vendors... fruit, cocktails, sheets, glasses, massages, etc. every 5 minutes did not let me relax... very annoying, not recommended if you are looking for peace and to enjoy a beach day.

Fantastic experience: Beach to enjoy with walkways and places to choose from, shop, savor....

Fantastic experience: Nice, but a bit small. The Playa de las Américas is bigger. Still, it's worth spending the day there.

Fantastic experience: It has a part of the beach with white sand and another part with black sand. The water is great, clean, and very blue.

Positive experience: a bit crowded but beautiful

Negative experience: Too much wind moving the sand: Impossible to lie down on the towel, I must have eaten at least a teaspoon of sand.

Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches with blue water, but it can get wavy.

Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Tenerife! Cleaner water on the left side of the beach

Positive experience: Beautiful beach. Easily accessible on foot from the promenade of other beaches.

Fantastic experience: one of the most beautiful beaches in the south of Tenerife

Fantastic experience: More expensive services but still affordable. It's worth stopping by and staying.

Fantastic experience: Best beach around. Great sand, good waves.

Fantastic experience: For me, the most beautiful beach on the island, very clean and fine light sand in the midst of a picturesque setting. Clean toilets and showers on site. Right on the promenade, with some restaurants and shopping options nearby. Noble area and stunningly beautiful backdrop.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, worth the stop! Wonderful water!

Fantastic experience: The best beach in Tenerife. Even in season, there are no crowds. Sand on the beach and sand in the water. Close to free restrooms and bars and restaurants. Sun loungers are a bit expensive, a set of 2 will be + umbrella 19 EUR. Parking in the shopping center by the beach.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful, the sand is smooth, warm weather, the water is crystal clear, I love this place

Fantastic experience: We looked at this beach before we went away and decided it was the first one we wanted to go to, arrived just before 10:00am there were plenty of sunbeds at the front, quiet and peaceful but starts to fill up quickly, there are vendors constantly walking along the beach some with drinks and cakes, Thai ladies offering massages and the vendors trying to sell you sunglasses even when you're wearing some, was £25 for 3 sunbeds a umbrella and a table for the day which was really good, make sure to take suitable footwear as you can’t walk on the sand after about 12 it’s far too hot for bare feet.

Fantastic experience: The beach is magnificent. Turquoise water, the waves are just great, gentle and not pulling you in. Comfortable and cozy. Parking in the underground is €1.60 per hour.

Positive experience: The beach is very nice, but it is very crowded. The entry into the water is somewhat difficult. Parking is complicated; since we did not know better, we parked in the mall's parking garage and paid about 11 euros for 5-6 hours. The restroom at the beach is clean.

Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach and thanks to the landscape, the castle on the left. It is said to have belonged to the famous actress Sophia Loren. Along the beach, there is a very nice shopping complex with strong South American influences.

Fantastic experience: A very beautiful place to visit for the beach, the local shops, and the commercial activities. Moving around on foot to the nearby beaches is easy thanks to a pedestrian-bicycle path that runs alongside the beach.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. You can pay for a sunbed or just lay your towel on the sand. Wasn't crowded. Not wavy so kinda safe for kids.

Fantastic experience: Beach that also has private showers. Is located near a shopping center, and it’s impossible to find a parking spot. You can either park for 1 hour free in the shopping mall or there is a paid parking nearby for about 1.5€/hour :) walking distance from both parking is 5 mins.

Fantastic experience: A great beach for swimming and relaxing. The lounge chairs are quite comfortable, and the large umbrellas provide plenty of shade. Also, there are plenty of places to stay if you don't want to pay for an umbrella and chairs. The only downside is the number of people, but it's obvious why it's so crowded.

Fantastic experience: Beach with golden sand, amazing. The water has quite a few waves as many boats and jet skis pass by. Beautiful and clean surrounding area. With a shopping mall nearby and plenty of boardwalk to walk. Some parking spaces on the streets nearby and also an underground parking. The beach area is pedestrian only.

Fantastic experience: Very large and well-organized beach, completely full of places to eat and drink. There are many areas of the beach equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas interspersed with free beaches, all of which are very clean. RECOMMENDED!

Positive experience: Nice beach, but expensive chiringuito. Besides that, clean beach and beautiful spot.

Fantastic experience: I think it's one of the nicest, cleanest beaches with all services close by.

Fantastic experience: A paradise beach in Tenerife. Clean turquoise waters. Wonderful.

Fantastic experience: It is stunning, the sand is white on one side and on the other side of the dam it is beautiful black, crystal clear waters, perfect for snorkeling.

Positive experience: A very beautiful beach, it lacks more showers for people who are not staying at a nearby hotel, the sand is coarser than other beaches and there are some seaweed, but there are quite a few beach bars, a very nice promenade for walking, and a shopping center near the beach.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach, I like going there, I also like that there are free changing rooms. But I would be happier if the bathroom were open longer, and if it didn't often smell like urine in some places, and it could be a bit cleaner.

Fantastic experience: It's beautiful, an incredible shopping area, a place you must visit when you're in Tenerife ❤️

Fantastic experience: Excellent beach. Very beautiful with crystal clear waters, great for spending the day. It has white sand and is very tranquil. You can practice snorkeling and swim at your leisure. Totally recommended for going with family and bringing the little ones. This is a very good beach; depending on the day, you may have a lot of people. It's easily accessible, with parking nearby and areas to walk. You'll find supermarkets, restaurants, and a shopping center nearby.

Fantastic experience: Relaxed and quiet place, little noise which is very positive in these times. The rental of sun loungers and umbrellas is affordable, there are also private showers for a very good price... You can go alone, with a partner, with friends, family, kids, however you want, they have several nearby options for food, it's just a matter of balancing budget and other issues. The parking is a few meters from the entrance, the price is also super affordable, overall it's a beach with many amenities.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular beach with turquoise waters and very clean, parking 30 meters from the beach, paid of course, but worth it... good waves in the afternoon, the kids enjoy...

Fantastic experience: Beautiful sunny and pleasant beach

Fantastic experience: We love the beach here.

Fantastic experience: Amazing beach. Yellow sand, great surroundings.

Fantastic experience: It is worth bringing water shoes to the 'black sand' beach because there are actually small sharp stones there. Otherwise, it's divine.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful beach! I recommend it! The beach with black yellow sand that combines wonderfully. At the end, there is the beach with small black pebbles.

Fantastic experience: If you are in Costa Adeje, you must definitely go! You will fall in love. Clear sand and stunning sea.

Fantastic experience: The beach is great, with good infrastructure, calm sea, and stunning beauty

Fantastic experience: My favorite beach with beautiful water and light sand. A little further, the beach continues with completely black sand. Great walks and wonderful swimming in the waves :-)

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place with restaurants and a lounge bar on the beach. A must-see and experience.

Positive experience: Narrow shoreline, many people on Sunday. It's a bit dirty (Here the sand is black, the beach transitions to another one where the sand is light).

Positive experience: Very nice small beach with beautiful sand and water. Pretty booked sunbeds already at 9.30 am. 2 sunbeds + umbrella are for 19 eur. Water is getting deep quickly, not recommended for kids.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful sandy beach. Perfect for swimming, well-protected in a bay. There is a lifeguard and well-maintained public restrooms that can be used for free. The adjacent promenade is really nice with many different restaurants. Limited parking options on site, best to park a bit further out, e.g., on Calle Roque de la Fortaleza.

Fantastic experience: Amazing beach with parking nearby. There are some people offering stuff or massages, but those are easy to miss. Really good place for snorkeling! All the different species, including the 'seadevil', 'parrotfish', 'seacat' and small 'barracuda' are visible at this spot. Great, accessible and well maintained.

Fantastic experience: Very nice beach, spacious and well-maintained, loungers can be rented for a fee, toilet available, trash bins available and can be used, would love to come back again

Positive experience: Beautiful beach. Especially the black northern part. The southern part is covered with light sand and is unevenly accessible for small children, but it is also more frequented. Unfortunately, there is only one toilet at the beach resort, which also closes at 6:00 PM.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, clean water. It gets deep quickly, like most beaches around here. It was a bit crowded when we went, but it was still fully enjoyable, just that we couldn't find any free sunbeds. A downside is that there are no toilets and showers where we could wash off the sand. Also, there is no parking. We managed to park in a mall's underground garage, we paid 7 euros for an afternoon.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, on one side white sand and on the other side black sand, clean sea but quite choppy. There is the possibility to rent umbrellas/sun loungers or use your own beach towel.

Positive experience: In the first part of the beach, the sand is light and fine... However, we found the sea full of seaweed both in the water and on the shore, while on the other side the beach has black sand that is slightly coarser. Here, too, there is the option of having a beach club or a free beach.

Fantastic experience: Perfect beach for a relaxing day in Tenerife. There are shops and places to eat nearby.

Negative experience: Very beautiful beach but quite stressful with so many street vendors. It's difficult to disconnect with that environment. The town hall should take measures.

Negative experience: Good, but there are many waves, my cousin almost drowned and there were no lifeguards. Another day there were, but they didn't rescue my cousin and they are 16 years old. Poor my cousins, the chairs on the beach cost almost 20 euros :(
