Playa de Vallehermoso
6 Anszela Toth

The perfect place to get away from it all and relax in the summer heat. With temperatures soaring, it's the ideal spot to kick back and soak up the sun. Whether you're looking for a peaceful day by the shore or a fun day in the sand and surf, this beach has it all. Enjoy the warm weather and take in the stunning views. It's the perfect spot to spend a day of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Playa de la Caleta
6 Valerian

Playa de la Caleta has all the amenities you could need, but the waves and large boulders make it a bit too wild for swimming. The views of Tenwriy and Teide are great, but the sea is often too choppy. Access is not too difficult, but the 4 km of winding roads with plenty of inclines can be a bit of a challenge. Toilet facilities are clean, though the beach bar is closed. There's also a recreational area with tables and chairs, as well as a hermitage. All in all, it's a great spot for sightseeing, but not ideal for swimming.

Baja de la Sepultura
6 Lila Delgado

This secluded and stunning beach offers a peaceful escape, with plenty of opportunities for relaxation. Although the journey there may be a bit tricky and hazardous, it's worth the effort to experience the beauty of this beach - and the best part is that it has public free entry!
