Playa San Telmo
★ 4.4 (10718 reviews)
Playa San Telmo is one of the most charming spots in Puerto de la Cruz, a small urban cove with distinctive black volcanic sand that captivates both locals and visitors alike. Located on the picturesque Paseo de San Telmo, this tiny 20-meter beach is surrounded by volcanic rock formations that create natural pools when the tide recedes, offering a unique and photogenic landscape.
What makes San Telmo special is its authentically Canarian atmosphere and privileged location in the heart of Puerto de la Cruz. While the waves can be moderate and some days the Atlantic shows its wilder side, when conditions are favorable it becomes a perfect spot for a refreshing dip or simply relaxing to the sound of the ocean. The contrast between the dark sand, rock formations, and intense blue of the Atlantic creates a typical Tenerife postcard you shouldn't miss.
Accessible 24 hours a day, it's ideal for an early morning stroll or enjoying the sunset. Its urban character means you have all services at hand, making San Telmo a must-visit to experience the coastal essence of Puerto de la Cruz.
