Playa de los Cristianos
★ 4.3 (2348 reviews)
Playa de los Cristianos is one of those southern Tenerife coastal spots where the Atlantic shows its gentlest side. Located in the municipality of Arona, this golden sand beach combines calm waters with a family-friendly atmosphere that attracts both locals and travelers seeking Canarian sunshine. Its sheltered configuration makes it ideal for swimming, while the seafront promenade invites leisurely walks with the southern mountains as backdrop.
What makes this beach special is its versatility: you can simply lounge on the rental sunbeds and disconnect, or dive into activities like kayaking from the sailing school, paddling out to discover nearby volcanic landscapes. The marina adds a touch of seafaring life and serves as a departure point for excursions to La Gomera. With a beachfront bar and even a volleyball court, Los Cristianos is that place where relaxation and action coexist effortlessly, all under the generous Tenerife sun that shines virtually year-round.
