7 TOP Swimming Spots
Thanks to the constant temperatures, Tenerife offers year-round swimming opportunities. In addition to the typical beaches with fine black volcanic sand, there are also some artificially created golden beaches, as well as the “Piscinas Naturales” (natural lava pools in the sea) and maritime parks.
Our Recommendations:
- Piscinas Naturales “El Caleton” in Garachico
- Playa de San Marcos in Icod de los Vinos
- Playa del Castillo in Puerto de la Cruz
- Playa de Las Teresitas in Santa Cruz
- Playa del Socorro in Los Realejos
- Parque Marítimo in Santa Cruz
- Lago Martianez in Puerto de la Cruz
If you want to swim with small children, the artificial beach of Las Teresitas is a great choice. The beach has a gentle slope into the water, and the breakwaters tame the Atlantic, resulting in calmer waves.
