Playa de Las Teresitas – Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
La playa de Las Teresitas es una playa situada en el pueblo de San Andrés del municipio de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, en la isla de Tenerife (Canarias, España).[1] Es la playa más conocida y turística de la ciudad de Santa Cruz, ofreciendo equipamientos y servicios hosteleros.[2]
Se trata de una playa artificialmente transformada en la década de 1970 sobre otra preexistente de arena negra volcánica. La playa original, que recibía los nombres de Tras la Arena y Las Teresas, entre otros, se rellenó de arena traída del desierto del Sáhara para ampliar su extensión, construyéndose también un dique rompeolas para evitar el oleaje.

El rompeolas[editar]
El rompeolas es una construcción que protege la playa del oleaje. Se trata de una acumulación de rocas de grandes dimensiones, con una longitud aproximada de un kilómetro, limitada por dos espigones que parten de la zona de la Cofradía de pescadores de San Andrés y de la Punta de Los Órganos. Presenta dos bocanas en sus extremos.
Dista una media de 150 m desde la orilla, aunque varía mucho; con la marea baja al mínimo dista unos 110 m, registrándose casos extremos de hasta 90 m. Con la marea alta se encuentra a una distancia de entre 175 y 200 m, documentándose un caso en que la masa de agua invadía toda la playa y el rompeolas no era visible desde la costa. Desde el espigón sur dista de 25 a 30 m, y desde el espigón norte, 10 m.
Entre los 22 m (marea baja) y los 60 m (marea alta) se encuentra el escalón. Este es un corte de la arena artificial. Normalmente, y con la marea baja, se encuentra a metro y medio de la superficie y desciende hasta los cuatro metros. A partir de aquí, desciende lentamente hasta llegar al inicio del rompeolas.
La apnea está permitida, pero no es recomendable. En cuanto al relieve, hay grandes rocas esparcidas, visibles incluso en la superficie, debajo del agua, y sin protección ocular.
Proyecto de remodelación[editar]
Mediante un proyecto realizado por el arquitecto Dominique Perrault se pretendía remodelar y reestructurar totalmente el frente de la playa, comprendido entre los límites del actual barranco del Cercado de San Andrés hasta el espigón del final de la playa. Para ello se reformaría la zona anterior a la playa, reubicando algunas de las especies vegetales existentes, colocando otras nuevas y sustituyendo los locales comerciales.
El proyecto global se dividía en dos fases de actuación: la fase zona Playa de las Teresitas, que desarrollaría el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente a cargo del Convenio de actuación en Costas subscrito con la Comunidad Autónoma de Canarias; y la fase Acceso a la Playa y complementos, a partir del convenio de colaboración Plan Infraestructuras y calidad turística de Canarias entre el Ayuntamiento de Santa Cruz de Tenerife y el Cabildo Insular de Tenerife.
Además, se rehabilitaría el entorno próximo de la playa, encauzando los barrancos del Cercado y de Las Huertas, creando un puente que atravesaría el nuevo cauce y nuevas conexiones con futuras intervenciones a realizar. Se preveía construir un hotel en la antigua Batería militar de San Andrés, una posible zona deportiva al otro lado del barranco y mejorar la red viaria que une los núcleos de la parte superior de Anaga con San Andrés y Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

El proyecto original de Dominique Perrault incluía además un anfiteatro al aire libre, pequeños kioscos y pabellones dedicados a la hostelería por toda la playa, cabinas de servicios (baños, vestuarios, etc.) y un edificio de aparcamientos y locales comerciales. Este último, popularmente conocido como Mamotreto, se encuentra paralizado en su construcción, pues se comenzó a edificar sin los permisos pertinentes.
Además, el proyecto de Perrault también contaba con la construcción de un mirador situado en lo alto de la montaña de El Suculum. En este mirador se encontraría una gran cruz blanca dominando Las Teresitas, dicho monumento se divisaría desde la playa y el mar.
Caso «Las Teresitas»[editar]
Los terrenos en torno a la playa han sido expropiados, recalificados y vueltos a vender.[3] El 19 de abril de 2007 Miguel Zerolo, alcalde de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, fue imputado formalmente por el Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Canarias (TSJC) de los delitos de prevaricación y malversación de fondos públicos por esta operación. El Tribunal Supremo en mayo de 2007 anuló la compraventa de los terrenos aledaños a la playa de Las Teresitas por ser «contraria al ordenamiento jurídico». La Intervención General de la Administración del Estado en un informe calificó esta operación como «pelotazo de libro».[4] En abril de 2017, la Audiencia Provincial de Santa Cruz de Tenerife condenó a Miguel Zerolo (exalcalde) a siete años de cárcel, por los delitos por los que estaba imputado.
También fueron condenados el concejal de urbanismo (Manuel Parejo) y dos empresarios relacionados con la trama: Ignacio González y Antonio Plasencia.[5]
Bandera azul[editar]
Las Teresitas contó con el distintivo de la bandera azul entre 2000 y 2003, pero la situación tanto legal como sanitaria de los quioscos de la playa ha llevado a la pérdida de esta distinción.[6]
Yacimiento paleontológico[editar]
En la playa de Las Teresitas existe un importante yacimiento paleontológico del Cuaternario.[7] Se trata de un yacimiento submarino en una playa sumergida, de aproximadamente 400 metros cuadrados. El mismo contiene fósiles moluscos de Charonia variegata y Patella candei (este último endémico de la región macaronesia) y otros endemismos de alto valor científico.[8][7] El yacimiento es célebre por ser el único de las Canarias occidentales en donde ha aparecido fósiles de Strombus bubonius, el cual es característico del último período interglacial de la región Mediterráneo-lusitana.
El Yacimiento paleontológico de la Playa de Las Teresitas está catalogado como uno de los más importantes de la isla de Tenerife.[9]
Celebraciones[editar]
La playa de Las Teresitas ha sido receptora de festivales y conciertos, algunos de ellos especialmente recordados como el Festival Amanecer latino en mayo de 1993, el cual reunió artistas de la talla de Celia Cruz, Óscar D’León, Rosario Flores, New York Band y otros cantantes americanos y españoles. Dicho festival fue emitido a nivel nacional por Televisión Española.[10]
Las principales celebraciones anuales celebradas en la playa o en sus inmediaciones son la celebración municipal de las Hogueras de San Juan la noche del 23 al 24 de junio,[11] y la embarcación de la imagen de la Virgen del Carmen de la localidad de San Andrés (que es embarcada en el muelle pesquero de la playa) el último domingo del mes de julio.[12]

Playa de Las Teresitas – The most popular beach in Tenerife
- Share
- Tweet
Tenerife is a volcanic island with many beautiful beaches, but most of them have black sand. Playa de Las Teresitas is one of the few beaches with beautiful, golden sand and this is the reason why this beautiful beach is one of the most popular places in Tenerife.
Located in San Andres, near the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Playa de Las Teresitas is one of my favorite beaches on the island. The beach has excellent facilities, the water is crystal-clear and the views are spectacular.
What more can you wish for?
In this article, I’ll share everything you need to know about Las Teresitas Beach, one of the best beaches in Tenerife.
Let’s get to it!
1. Why is Playa de Las Teresitas covered in golden sand?
2. What to expect at Playa de Las Teresitas
3. Playa de Las Teresitas Mirador – Mirador Gaviotas
4. Places to see near Las Teresitas Beach
5. How to get to Las Teresitas Beach
6. Where to stay in Tenerife
7. Final thoughts
1. Why is Playa de Las Teresitas covered in golden sand?
It is a bit weird that, unlike most beaches in Tenerife, Las Teresitas has golden sand, right? We’ll there is a long story behind this beautiful golden sand. Here it is.
Many years ago, Playa de Las Teresitas was covered in black sand and black rocks. The area surrounding the beach was known for its large plantations of bananas, avocados and vegetables.
In the 1950s, when the construction of Santa Cruz de Tenerife port started, many beaches in Santa Cruz started to disappear because their sand was used to build the port.
Given the circumstances, the locals and local authorities decided to build an artificial beach in San Andres during the 1960s.
The nearby farms were demolished and the original Las Teresitas Beach was expanded and covered with Saharan sand.
The local authorities chose to bring in sand from Sahara because it was cheaper than black sand. Also, a golden beach was more appealing to tourists.
That’s how Playa de Las Teresitas got its current shape and look. When visiting the beach, you’ll notice a breakwater built a few meters from the shore. This underwater dam keeps the golden sand from being sucked into the ocean.
Although Las Teresitas Beach is artificial, its beauty can’t be denied. In my opinion, this is one of the best beaches in Tenerife, together with Benijo Beach and El Duque Beach.
2. What to expect at Playa de Las Teresitas
The beach is about 1,3 kilometers long and it has a width of 80 meters. There is a free parking lot right behind the beach. The parking lot can easily accommodate over 100 cars and the best part about it is that there is a lot of shade from the Royal Poinciana trees.
From the parking lot, you can first stop at the changing rooms if you need to, or you can head directly to the beach. The beach is bordered by beautiful palm trees, making it look like one of those iconic beaches from the Philippines.
At Las Teresitas Beach, you’ll find all the facilities you need. There are sunbeds for rent, toilets, showers, as well as restaurants and bars. There is even a health center.
When we arrived at the beach, we wanted to see the entire place, so we walked from one end to the other. The views from the two ends of the beach are completely different, but equally beautiful.
From the southern part of the beach, you can admire a gigantic cliff (this is where the Las Teresitas viewpoint is located, but more about this later), while from the northern part of the beach, you can admire the village of San Andres and the colorful houses perched on a cliff.
View from the southern part of the beachView from the northern part of the beach
If you don’t want to rent a sunbed, you can simply lay your towel on the beach.
You can even find shade below the palm trees. We chose to stop at a bar and have a drink.
I have to admit that the prices are a bit spicy. For a glass of Coca-Cola we paid 2 EUR while an alcoholic drink starts at 4 EUR. If you want to save some money, bring something to drink and some snacks with you.
-> Other must-see places in Tenerife:
- Climb Mount Teide – The tallest mountain in Tenerife
- Take a whale watching cruise
- Siam Park – The world’s best water park
If you’re looking for a beautiful beach, with all the facilities for a relaxing day, Las Teresitas is the perfect choice. Keep in mind that it gets pretty busy during weekends and holidays.
3. Playa de Las Teresitas Mirador – Mirador Gaviotas
If you searched for photos of Las Teresitas Beach, you’ve probably already seen the iconic photo taken from a nearby cliff. To get there, follow the TF – 121 road to Las Gaviotas.
After a few turns, you’ll arrive at Mirador Gaviotas. Unfortunately, there is no official parking, but you can leave your car on the side of the road. From Mirador Gaviotas, walk a few meters back to Playa de Las Teresitas and you’ll see it – one of the best views in Tenerife.
Mirador Gaviotas
From this point, you can see the entire beach and the town of San Andres in the distance. The green palm trees, together with the golden sand and turquoise water create a spectacular scenery.
We stayed at Las Teresitas viewpoint for about half an hour, trying to take the perfect picture. After a few tries, I manage to take an Insta-worthy photo. Mission accomplished!

4. Places to see near Las Teresitas Beach
I recommend stopping for a few hours in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the biggest city on the island. Here you can find museums, shopping malls and buildings with unique architecture like Auditorio de Tenerife.
If you’re looking for hidden gems, I recommend driving to Taganana Village and Benijo Beach. Taganana is one of the most isolated villages on the island, only a few hundred people live here. The village and Benijo Beach are located in the Anaga Rural Park, one of the most beautiful areas in Tenerife.
The mountains rising from the ocean and the scattered houses of Taganana create a unique view. I’ll leave the photos below to speak for themselves.
TagananaBenijo Beach
Other places you need to visit in Tenerife are Mount Teide, Spain’s tallest mountain and Siam Park, world’s best water park.
5. How to get to Las Teresitas Beach
If you’re staying in the Santa Cruz area, you can take the bus to Playa de Las Teresitas. Hop on bus number 910 that starts at Intercambiador Santa Cruz and get off at Las Teresitas bus station.
When exploring Tenerife, I recommend renting a car.
We rented our car from Oasis for about 35 EUR per day. In one day you can visit many tourist attractions. We circled the entire island in one day and visited places like Charco el Diablo, El Duque Beach, Bollullo Beach and Los Gigantes.
I recommend taking your time to visit each of these places. We were on a tight schedule and wanted to see as much as possible.
If you choose to rent a car, you can park it in the Las Teresitas parking lot. The parking is free and is located right behind the beach.
6. Where to stay in Tenerife
There are thousands of hotels in Tenerife. The entire island relies on tourism. Therefore, it might be a bit challenging to find the perfect accommodation. I’ve been searching for the best hotels on the island, for every budget. Here are my recommendations.
- Budget – Atlantic Holiday Hotel – amazing ocean view, beautiful modern studio, good location, friendly staff, good amenities
- Mid-Range – Labranda Bahia – beautiful pools, good location, spacious rooms and good services, friendly staff, all-inclusive
- Luxury – Fantasia Bahia – perfect for couples and families, excellent services, all-inclusive, huge & modern rooms, beautiful pools
7.
Final thoughts
Playa de Las Teresitas is one of the must-see places when in Tenerife. This golden sand beach is the perfect place to relax for a few hours and forget about all your worries.

Playa de las Teresitas, el placer de la arena dorada
Se encuentra situada en el pueblo de San Andrés, en Santa Cruz de Tenerife, y tiene casi un kilómetro de extensión. Se transformó artificialmente en la década de los años 70 sobre otra playa que ya existía de arena volcánica. Se trajo arena procedente del desierto del Sáhara de color dorado para agrandar la playa original, hacerla más extensa y que los bañistas pudieran disfrutar de una mayor amplitud. También se construyó un dique rompeolas para calmar sus aguas cristalinas.
Hoy en día, la playa de las Teresitas es seguramente la más concurrida por los tinerfeños, junto a la Playa de las Américas, y también se ha convertido en una playa familiar por sus aguas transparentes y tranquilas, su arena dorada y por la cantidad de chiringuitos que hay a lo largo de ella.
Todos estos ingredientes aseguran una jornada playera muy agradable.
Acceder a esta playa es muy sencillo. Se puede llegar en transporte público, en coche o en barco. Tan sólo hay que planificar bien cómo hacerlo y en verano, madrugar un poco si queremos coger un buen sitio.

La playa de las Teresitas, en San Andrés
La playa de las Teresitas es la que más cerca está de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a la vez que se encuentra muy cerca del pueblo de San Andrés, un antiguo lugar que daba cobijo a decenas de pescadores y que aún hoy conserva ese aroma.
Tiene unos 4.000 habitantes y, a pesar de su pequeño tamaño, se puede planificar el día para visitarlo a pie y conocer algunas de las lindezas que ofrece.
Por ejemplo, el castillo de San Andrés, una antigua fortaleza militar que se puede visitar por dentro y desde la que se puede contemplar una panorámica muy bella de la localidad. Hoy en día, gran parte del castillo está derruido pero se puede apreciar cuál fue su funcionalidad años atrás.
Un paseo por San Andrés te hará disfrutar de su arquitectura local, muy reconocible en toda la isla: casitas bajas de colores, llenas de vida y optimismo. Y también de sus calles peatonales.
Playa de las Teresitas. Tenerife.
A unos 8 kilómetros de distancia, se encuentra el centro de Santa Cruz, una preciosa ciudad portuaria llena de encanto que te sorprenderá. Está llena de vida, y ofrece a sus visitantes oferta muy variada de planes para disfrutar de ella al aire libre: desde pasear por sus calles, ir de compras por su vía más comercial, tomar un delicioso café en sus bares o descubrir sus parques.
Además, podrás contemplar los bellos edificios que hay por la ciudad y gozar de su buen clima durante todo el año.
Qué comer en los alrededores de la playa de las Teresitas
Como en toda la isla de Tenerife, su gastronomía se basa en platos locales, siendo los más conocidos las papas arrugadas, el gofio, el potaje o el conejo en salmorejo. En San Andrés, podemos elegir desde cocina muy tradicional y sencilla hasta algo más sofisticado. ¿Qué tipo de jornada estás planeando? En función de eso, podrás elegir entre una variedad muy rica de restaurantes.
El Rincón del Pescador
Ofrece platos locales basados en el pescado y marisco como producto principal. Sin pretensiones y muy sencillo, este bar restaurante está situado en la calle Chana Cabrera. El pescado frito o al horno, las croquetas y el pulpo son algunas de sus mejores recetas.
Tasca el Asunto de los Parres
Si eres un amante del cerdo asado o de la carne estofada, este bar te gustará.
Aunque si te interesa la gastronomía local, también puedes pedir queso ahumado a la plancha con mojo o una tabla de quesos canarios. El precio medio de la carta oscila entre 15 y 20 euros.
Restaurante Pepín
El restaurante Pepín en San Andrés está especializado en el pescado fresco y del día, con lo cual lo más sencillo es dejarte aconsejar por sus camareros para degustar el plato que hayan pensado para la jornada. Con raciones abundantes y precios asequibles, es una buena opción para comer en familia.

Planear bien tu recorrido hasta Costa Adeje
La playa de las Teresitas bien merece una visita, aunque te proponemos que no te quedes solo aquí. Puedes disfrutar de un magnífico recorrido por toda la costa tinerfeña para descubrir otras playas con el mismo encanto hasta llegar a Costa Adeje.
Nuestra recomendación es que hagas la ruta en coche para poder parar siempre que lo desees y tomar una foto de las excelentes panorámicas que te ofrecerá la ruta. Tu destino está a 85 kilómetros de Las Teresitas.

Una vez que has llegado a Costa Adeje, déjate seducir por una temperatura envidiable sea cual sea la época del año y por la cantidad de planes que puedes hacer aquí: desde descubrir maravillosos enclaves naturales, visitar alguno de sus bellos y tranquilos pueblos o disfrutar de alguna de sus innumerables playas con arena de todos los colores:
Playa de Troya
Ofrece arenas claras y buena situación. Se pueden practicar en ella deportes acuáticos y probablemente fue una de las primeras en constituirse.
Playa de las Galgas
Rodeada de palmeras, es una de las más bellas de la costa de Adeje y más visitadas por los turistas.
Playa de los Morteros
Es una de las más salvajes.
Está muy próxima al Paraje Natural de los Acantilados de La Caleta y ofrece un entorno natural de los más bonitos de la zona, con arenas grises y con una zona rocosa próxima, lo que le confiere un carácter muy personal. Se puede practicar buceo en ella o, simplemente, gozar de un buen baño.
Playa del Duque
Probablemente una de las más conocidas. Extensa, de fácil acceso y muy amplia, está rodeada de hoteles, ya que es una de las más solicitadas por los turistas extranjeros. Equipada con todo tipo de servicios, pasar un día en esta playa es disfrutar de un día de diez.

Playa de Las Teresitas en Santa Cruz de Tenerife
| Playa de Las Teresitas |
Las Teresitas es la playa más emblemática de Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Un kilómetro y medio de arena dorada, palmeras que se mueven con el viento y aguas clarísimas, en una ubicación privilegiada, a sólo un paso de Santa Cruz y a la sombra de las montañas de Anaga, la playa conserva su belleza a pesar de estar entre las más populares y concurridas de la isla.
Situada en el pueblo de San Andrés, esta playa de arena dorada destaca por estar poblada por multitud de palmeras, y es muy visitada por los santacruceros. La tranquilidad del oleaje, gracias a la instalación de diques que atenúan las olas, la convierten en una opción ideal para pasar el día en familia y pasear por la orilla.
Contarás con todos los servicios a pie de playa (duchas, vigilancia, acceso para minusválidos…) y además, podrás combinar tu refrescante baño con un aperitivo en los chiringuitos de la playa y probar la gastronomía típica en la cofradía de pescadores y los restaurantes del pueblo de San Andrés.

COMO LLEGAR
A la playa de Las Teresitas se accede desde Santa Cruz tomando la Avenida Marítima dirección San Andrés. Siempre en paralelo a la costa, continúa por la carretera TF11 hasta alcanzar el pueblo pesquero de San Andrés, a 7 kilómetros del centro de la capital. Al llegar a San Andrés, evita tomar la rotonda y sigue recto paralelo al mar desde donde empezarás a divisar Las Teresitas. Continúa por la carretera hasta encontrar un semáforo con un desvío a la derecha y al tomarlo, habrás llegado a la playa de Las Teresitas.
EN COCHE
Acceder desde el centro de Santa Cruz a Las Teresitas en coche, salvo por algún problema de tráfico, no debería llevarnos más de 15-20 minutos, puede aumentar cuando llega el verano, especialmente los días festivos y fines de semana, en los que se incrementa el número de vehículos y el tráfico se ralentiza, en estos días puede dificultarse el acceso a la playa y la facilidad para estacionar. El resto del año, las plazas de aparcamiento gratuitas hacen que aparcar en Las Teresitas no suponga ningún problema. Tanto en el tramo de ida como en el de vuelta, encontrarás gasolineras donde poder repostar. Es importante prestar mucha atención y respetar la distancia de seguridad con los ciclistas que puedes encontrarte a lo largo del recorrido.
EN GUAGUA
El servicio de guaguas (autobuses) ofrecido por *TITSA desde Santa Cruz a Las Teresitas es una opción elegida por muchos de los usuarios de la playa.
Sería ideal que cada vez más gente optara por utilizar la guagua como alternativa al coche; de esta forma todos ayudaríamos a reducir la descongestión del tráfico que durante los meses de verano hace que sea un poco más complicado cumplir con los horarios establecidos. La línea 910 (Intercambiador -San Andrés- Playa de Las Teresitas) sale cada 10-15 minutos desde el Intercambiador (estación de Guaguas) de Santa Cruz, ubicada en La Avenida Tres de Mayo. Otras paradas disponibles en el centro de Santa Cruz son: Hacienda, La Farola del Mar, Estación Marítima, Edificios Múltiples, y Avenida de Anaga. El precio por trayecto a pagar en la guagua es 1.25 € .
Si vamos a hacer un uso habitual de este servicio, podemos adquirir en estancos, kioskos o estaciones de guagua bonos de 7.50 €, 15 € ó 25 € que hacen que el trayecto nos cueste 0.75 €. Al llegar a su destino, la guagua nos dejará en la parada que está al principio, en el acceso 1, ya que no entra hacia el final de la playa.
Para volver en guagua, podemos salir desde la parada de la playa o acercarnos a la parada del pueblo de San Andrés, y desde allí volver a Santa Cruz.
*Más información sobre otras líneas y horarios. www.titsa.com
EN TAXI
Otra forma de ir a Las Teresitas es utilizar el servicio de taxis. Entre sus ventajas está el trayecto directo sin paradas y el no estar sujeto a horarios. En Santa Cruz los taxis abundan y tienen un precio razonable. De no conseguir uno, se recomienda probar suerte en las múltiples paradas del centro como por ejemplo en Calle el Pilar, Plaza de España, Calle Méndez Núñez o, para los que llegan a Santa Cruz en guagua, el Intercambiador. El precio desde el centro de Santa Cruz a Las Teresitas suele oscilar entre los 12 € ó 14 € por trayecto, incluida la bajada de bandera de 3.
15 € los días laborales, y de 3.45 € los días festivos y por las noches. A la hora de volver se puede intentar coger un taxi en las paradas de Las Teresitas, al comienzo de la playa, o en la de San Andrés, aunque son paradas donde no suelen abundar los taxis. Otra opción puede ser acordar una hora de recogida con el mismo taxi que nos ha llevado a la playa, o llamar a un servicio de radio-taxi para que nos vengan a buscar.
EN BICI
El recorrido en bicicleta (transporte alternativo al coche que cada vez gana más adeptos) desde Santa Cruz a Las Teresitas, es una ruta clásica para los amantes del pedal, que trascurre en paralelo al mar. Tomando como salida el carril bici frente al Auditorio Adán Martín, hay que contar con un periplo de aproximadamente 20 kilómetros si sumamos ida y vuelta. El recorrido siempre transcurre en llano, y aunque no presenta mucha exigencia, hay que tener en cuenta que carece de zonas de sombra.
Durante el trayecto hemos de prestar atención para no encontrarnos con peatones despistados, paseando a su perro o corriendo. Aunque hay varios proyectos para su mejora, actualmente el carril bici llega hasta el barrio de María Jiménez. A partir de este punto, el carril es un poco peculiar, ya que transcurre por una acera sin señalizar. Para los que opten por hacer el trayecto por la carretera, es importante prestar atención a la circulación y tomar todas las medidas de seguridad necesarias. Al llegar a la playa, los ciclistas forman parte de la estampa habitual en la zona de aparcamientos.
A PIE

Si optamos por ir caminado a las Teresitas, hemos de saber que la distancia entre el centro de la capital y la playa es de aproximadamente 7 kilómetros. Aunque dependerá mucho de nuestro estado de forma y ritmo, de media emplearemos aproximadamente 1 hora y 30 minutos por trayecto.
Tomando como punto de salida la estación marítima de la Avenida Francisco La Roche (conocida popularmente como Avenida de Anaga) y dejando a nuestras espaldas la Plaza de España, caminaremos por una ruta fácil de disfrutar, que transcurre siempre en llano y paralela al mar.
Es importante protegernos del sol e hidratarnos bien, ya que es un camino que carece de sombra. Si durante la caminata nos sentimos cansados o decidimos detenernos por cualquier motivo, tenemos la posibilidad de terminar la ruta en guagua (línea 910), utilizando las paradas que nos encontraremos a lo largo del recorrido. Para los que se encuentren con fuerzas, durante el trayecto hay máquinas de gimnasia de uso libre. Casi llegando a San Andrés empezaremos a divisar Las Teresitas, donde podremos disfrutar de un merecido baño. Antes de regresar, podremos reponer fuerzas en los kioskos de la playa o restaurantes de San Andrés, y encaminarnos de vuelta a pie o utilizando el servicio público de guaguas o taxis.

PLAYA DE LAS TERESITAS | The Heart of Tenerife
[tabitem]
The most emblematic beach in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Located near the village of San Andrés, this beach of golden sand stands out as it is full of palm trees. The tranquillity of the waves, thanks to the breakwater which largely excludes them, makes this an ideal option for spending the day en famille and taking a stroll along the shore.

GASTRONOMY:
Santa Cruz is the heart of Tenerife and as such it is the home of a range of food and drinks. All parts of the world are represented in the municipality. It’s a place where the food sector has experienced a remarkable growth in the last few years and the zone is known for being a metropolitan area that is home to two stars from the prestigious Michelin Guide.
The gastronomy is undoubtedly part of the local character of a culture. In this sense, the Canary Islands can proudly say that their cuisine is both simple and original in nature and that this is true in terms of the choice of ingredients and how dishes are prepared, with the Islands’ cuisine being based on the Guanche heritage, but also having a clear Spanish influence.
However, despite its simplicity, traditional Canarian cuisine is authentic and rich in flavours that give it a personality of its own – a personality that has been influenced by the Island Chain’s climate and the use of the products readily available in its sea and on its land.
Among the ingredients of traditional Canarian cuisine, some of the most important are products from the sea, such as fish and shellfish like the “vieja” (Mediterranean parrotfish), a white fish with a mild flavour, the “choco” (cuttlefish), a type of squid with a larger size, and the “cherne” (wreckfish), a fish that is consumed salted or as a stew.
In terms of foods from the land, the sweet potato and the potato are the indisputable companions to meat and fish, with the potato being famous in its “papas arrugadas” form (“Canarian wrinkly potatoes” – boiled potatoes with their skins left on). Vegetables such as the tomato, onion, garlic, varieties of peppers, squash, zucchini (or “bubango”), watercress, coriander, and parsley can be used in soups, stews, and in the preparation of the famous Canarian “mojo” sauce in its two versions: green (containing coriander) and red (“mojo picón,” containing pepper).
In terms of meats, noteworthy are dishes based on pork, rabbit, and kid goat, all of which can be prepared with a sauce as a stew, fried, or roasted.
Goat’s milk is the basic ingredient of the cheeses from the Canary Islands, which are consumed fresh, semi-cured, cured, and even smoked.
But there is a Canarian food product that is derived from grains like corn, wheat, and barley and which has become established as a “symbol” of the gastronomic culture of the islands. It is known as “Gofio” (a fine mixture of the aforementioned grains previously toasted and ground) and it has multiple culinary applications, as it has acted as the “bread of the canaries” (kneaded with water and not cooked), it can be consumed “scrambled” with broth (escaldón) or a stew, and it can even be mixed with honey and almonds to act as a desert. Its consumption is so widespread that, in many homes, it is customary to mix gofio with milk and sugar and use it for breakfast. Other products that complement the cuisine of the Canary Islands are the local wines from the region, with Tenerife being the perfect example.
The island is divided into five wine-producing districts, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife is located in the Tacoronte-Acentejo district. Tenerife’s gastronomy brings together the products and dishes that are most representative of Canarian cuisine with a wide range of dining establishments.
One of the increasingly popular trends over the past few years is the diversification of traditional cuisine, giving rise to a new, more creative and contemporary branch of cooking known as “signature cooking.” While this type of cuisine keeps its base through the use of traditional products, it innovates by introducing new and exotic ingredients (many of them foreign) and a mix of flavours that bring originality to the recipe. Likewise, emphasis is placed on the dishes’ presentation, turning them into artistic creations done by expert chefs.
The dining sector of the municipality of Santa Cruz de Tenerife has it all. Visitors can find the best of the traditional cuisine mostly in restaurants or “guachinches” around the Anaga area.
In the rest of the city, there are establishments that offer everything from traditional Canarian cuisine to exquisite “signature cooking” and more creative dishes, without forgetting the wide range of regional Spanish specialties, bars serving “tapas,” and a great variety of restaurants that offer international cuisine.

Description
Teresitas is just over one kilometer long.
Initially, like the entire coastline of Tenerife, it was strewn with black sand of volcanic origin. Tourists do not consider the dark coating a disadvantage of local beaches. On the contrary, the sand is tactilely pleasant, because it has a soft, silky texture. However, it was in this place that it was not enough.
Area Teresitas began to import sand from Africa. Huge cargo barges plied endlessly here. In total, more than 300 thousand tons of bright yellow “gold” were brought from the distant Sahara.
Then Canary palms were planted parallel to the shore. This added a special tropical exoticism. At the same time, the presence of spreading trees is an additional plus for the organizers. Indeed, in many guides to Tenerife, the reviews emphasize whether there is a shady green area next to the water. Las Teresitas beach wins in this regard.
The beach is located next to the city, but separated from it by a green stripe. Often tourists place their sun loungers under the palm trees.
The beach looks like a beautiful oasis, as mountains rise around, almost devoid of vegetation.
At some distance from the ocean, a stone breakwater rises. The dam is artificial. Her task is to prevent strong excitement. Therefore, the water here is always relatively calm. Interestingly, after the construction of the dam, the temperature in this place became higher.
Teresitas is worth a visit for those who prefer a family vacation. There are not many sandy places for swimming on the island. Those who prefer the classic coastal picture come here: golden sand, umbrellas with stylish thatched roofs and the turquoise ocean. Seagulls often fly over the beach. They are not at all afraid of people, tourists feed them with pleasure.
The infrastructure is excellent.
The following services are available for vacationers:
- rental of inflatable boats and beach equipment for games;
- rental of deck chairs and umbrellas;
- medical center;
- rescue service;
- dressing room;
- several bars.
Beach cafes line up nearby. There is something for the whole family to eat. The menu includes freshly squeezed juices, refreshing drinks, light snacks, etc. Free parking is available in the immediate vicinity.

Beaches in the north of Tenerife – description of the most popular beaches
As you know, the northern part of Tenerife is richer in precipitation, waves and vegetation. It is incredibly beautiful, fresher and more cloudy, which does not prevent you from having some of the most beautiful beaches, suitable for both swimming and sunbathing. Most of them are concentrated near resort towns, but there are also quieter and more comfortable places. Let’s tell in order about the main and most interesting beaches in the north of Tenerife.
Beaches of Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Playa Las Teresitas
Playa de Las Teresitas – a beautiful beach surrounded by mountains, it is located in a town called San Andres, not far from the capital islands and is the city beach of the capital. The barrier embankment built from the side of the ocean is a reliable protection of the golden-white beach of almost one and a half kilometers in length from the raging waves.
The beach is notable for the fact that it was created artificially, and the sand was brought from Africa (we wrote about this already in the article about Santa Cruz).
Palm trees framing the shore, rather warm water and comfortable conditions attract many beach lovers in Tenerife, including families with children. The vast majority of visitors, especially on weekends, are residents of the capital, but there are also a lot of tourists here.
The beach offers sun lounger rentals (€2), playground, free toilets, outdoor showers, changing rooms, bars and cafes. Water activities are also provided for a fee.
It should be noted that a strong wind often blows here, because of this, sand can then be shoveled from everywhere – from a swimsuit, swimming trunks and other things. In addition, such blowing will not add joy to those coming out of the water.

Beaches of Anaga and its environs
All the beauty of this part of the island lies in the relict forests located on the slopes of mountain ranges, but any slope sooner or later ends either with a cliff or a beautiful beach.
Playa de Antequera
Playa de Antequera is a secluded place on a rocky promontory, difficult to access due to the lack of roads. It can be a long walk to get here, but the most convenient and least tiring way is to hire a boat in Santa Cruz, which will take you ashore in about an hour. Meanwhile, the untouched beauty of virgin nature and stunning landscapes are worth the attention of the most demanding tourist, despite the lack of any services. The isolation of Playa de Antequera attracts nudists here.
The beach is 400 meters long and 25 meters wide, the shore has a grayish-yellow hue due to the white sand brought by the winds from the Sahara.

Playa del Roque de Las Bodegas Beach
Roque de Las Bodegas, 380 meters long and 45 meters wide, does not have a large range of services, except for a few large range of services places where you can eat fish dishes and parking. It is covered with gravel, stones and black volcanic sand.
Big waves and wind require special care from vacationers when swimming (in fact, like other wild beaches on the north side of the island). Basically, here they either ride the waves or admire nature and the ocean.

Almaciga beach (Playa de Almaciga)
Another beach in the northern part of Anaga (not far from the previous one) – Playa de Almaciga – a good place for surfers, therefore, the development of infrastructure here took place taking into account this particular occupation. Special places have been arranged on the beach so that it is most convenient for surfers from the local population and visiting tourists to indulge in their favorite pastime.
The black sand and gravel beach is 300 meters long and 35 wide. Several food and drink stalls, rubbish bins and changing rooms make up the entire service on this beach.

The coast is covered with black sand and pebbles, the length of the beach reaches 300 meters, the width is 30. In general, the beach rarely favors swimming and not everyone dares to do so due to large waves, a strong reverse current and the lack of lifeguards.
But it’s still worth visiting, if only to just admire the amazing landscape, beautiful views or magical sunsets. You can get to the beach as part of hiking in the mountains of Anaga or by car. From the parking lot at the local restaurant, a long staircase leads down directly to the water.

Overview of Teresitas beach (Tenerife)
Most of Tenerife’s beaches meet their guests either with black sand, consisting of small elements of volcanic rock, or with a gray coating in which dark volcanic soil mixed with lighter grains of sand .
Although the black beaches of Tenerife are the highlight of the island, not all tourists are ready to spend their entire vacation on them. But in the Canary Islands you can also find luxurious golden beaches, one of which is TeresItas beach. This beautiful corner of Tenerife can often be seen on postcards that depict the beach from above. And if fate brings you to the island of eternal spring, take the time to come to Las Teresitas and spend a couple of hours or days here from your vacation or vacation. I guarantee you will love it here.
View of Playa de las Teresitas from the promenade
How to get to Teresitas beach, what it is famous for, and how you can spend time on it, read below. Information given by a person (me) who has been here more than once. At the end of the article you will find 2 videos that will show you this place during the daytime and evening hours.
Where is
Playa de las Teresitas?
Teresitas Beach or Las Teresitas is located in the northeast of Tenerife, 7 km from the capital of the island, the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
On the western side of it, at the foot of a high cliff, is the village of San Andres. From the south, the beach is surrounded by the Anaga Mountains. In the east, it rests on a rocky cape, behind which there is another recreation area – Las Gaviotas beach.
What attracts Las Teresitas beach?
Playa de las Teresitas attracts many tourists with its beauty. Once here, you will look around for a long time and admire. Firstly, on three sides this place is surrounded by the Anaga mountain range, which is now a national park. Only in the mountains of Anaga, unique laurel and coniferous forests have been preserved, which you will not see anywhere else on Earth. Park employees have developed several dozen routes that you can walk along with your mouth open from the stunning beauty that opens up to you at every turn. If you find yourself on the beach after visiting the Anaga Mountains, you will remember your hike in the park and see part of the massif while relaxing here. If you have not been to Anaga yet, you can admire the bright green of the rocks from the coastline of Las Teresitas beach.
They are perfectly visible from the ocean, so when swimming, you will enjoy them.

The second advantage of the beach is its coverage. It will delight conservative travelers with its golden and soft sand. Once this place was different, but in the late 60s sand from Africa was exported to the beach. From the Sahara desert, it was delivered across the ocean to the Canary Islands on barges. Now everyone can enjoy not only the view of African sand, but also its softness.

The third advantage of Teresitas is its water area. The entrance to the ocean is very convenient, because. the bottom is also filled with sand from the Sahara, and you will not hurt your feet on volcanic stones and will not trip over them, as you would on other Tenerife beaches. The entrance is quite shallow, and parents with children will appreciate it. Children can safely splash around the shore without fear that they will be covered by the surf, because Teresitas is protected from the ocean by a long stone pier.
Swimming here is very comfortable, like in a lake or pool.
The area of Teresitas beach is ideal for children
All vacationers will appreciate the infrastructure of the beach and its size. The coastline of Las Teresitas is 1.3 km long, so there is a place for every tourist here under the sun. On the beach there are showers and toilets, foot showers, rental of sun loungers and deck chairs, rental of water transport (catamarans, rafts). From the land side, Las Teresitas is surrounded by palm trees, they also grow on the beach itself. Along the embankment there are many stalls with fish and meat dishes, snacks. Prices don’t bite here. If you want a more sophisticated menu, you can take a stroll to San Andrés where there are several good fish restaurants. Also in the town you will see the ruins of a 16th century fort and beautiful Canarian houses.

You can get back to the city in the same way. Traveling with the Titsa mas card will cost you 0.75 euros. From other parts of the island, you can also drive to the beach from the side of the capital Santa Cruz by renting a car in Tenerife.
About housing near the beach
If you plan to combine hiking in the mountains of Anaga with a holiday in Las Teresitas, you can stay in the capital of the island. From there, you can quickly get to the beach and spend the first or second half of the day on it (depending on when you were on the excursion) or the whole day of your vacation.

There are many hotels in the city for every taste, which you can book on my website using the service Hotellook . The search form is located on the side bar. For budget travelers, I recommend the clean and comfortable El Hostel.
If you do not feel like riding from the capital to the beach and back every day, you can stay for 3-5 or more days in the apartments of the village of San Andrés.

I have had the good fortune to visit Playa de las Teresitas more than once. I would like to say that this beach is good at any time of the day. I first visited it after sunset, but even then I was delighted with its beauty. In the light of day, my delight increased several times. After watching the video, you will see the directness of my words regarding Las Teresitas.
And if you do not like oil platforms in the ocean or the wind blowing from the Atlantic (it is an indispensable attribute of the Canary coast), then you will certainly be pleased with the majestic mountains, golden sand, small waves of the water area.
