Las Teresitas
Tenerife's most famous golden sand beach, located 8 km north of Santa Cruz in San Andrés. The 1.3 km-long beach was created in 1973 by importing 270,000 tonnes of sand from the Sahara Desert. Protected by a breakwater, the waters are calm and safe for swimming year-round. Facilities include showers, sunbeds, beach bars (chiringuitos), and ample parking. Backed by the dramatic Anaga Mountains.
