Playa Maria Jiménez

Playa María Jiménez is one of those special spots that make Puerto de la Cruz such an authentic destination. This black volcanic sand beach surprises first-time visitors, offering a completely different beach experience from typical golden shores. Beloved by both locals and tourists alike, it stands out for maintaining clean and well-kept facilities, becoming a preferred alternative even compared to other more famous nearby beaches.

The best thing about this beach is its urban yet peaceful character: you can enjoy the sea without leaving the heart of the city. Its wide expanse of sand allows you to find space even on busy days, and it's perfect for morning walks when seagulls stroll along the shore. Although the waves can be strong during certain times of the year, it's precisely this wild Atlantic nature that attracts those seeking a more authentic and less touristy experience, enjoying that unique character that only Tenerife's volcanic beaches can offer.
