Mesa del Mar
Tacoronte
Descending to Mesa del Mar is an experience in itself. The road winds through hillsides until it reaches this small coastal enclave in northern Tenerife, protected by high cliffs that isolate it from the noise and frenetic pace of the island. The moment you arrive, you feel the atmosphere change: the sound of the sea dominates, and time seems to slow down.
The place combines several facets in a small space. On one side, there are the natural pools, integrated directly into the volcanic coastline, where the Atlantic water flows in and is constantly renewed. They are comfortable for swimming and allow you to enjoy the sea even when the waves are rough. A few steps away, you'll find the small beach of pebbles and dark sand, simple and unpretentious, perfect for those seeking a peaceful swim with magnificent views of Mount Teide.
Mesa del Mar retains the feel of an old fishing village, which is still evident in the surroundings and the way of life. You'll see locals strolling, people sitting gazing at the horizon, and families who have returned generation after generation. This isn't a place for grand plans or showing off: you come here to disconnect, breathe in the sea air, and enjoy the landscape as it is.
What I love most is the feeling of refuge. The cliffs enclose the space and create an intimate, almost hidden atmosphere, making the sea feel closer and more powerful. If you're looking to discover a different, more local, and less developed coastline, Mesa del Mar is one of those places where simply being there is enough.

Playa la Arena
When you arrive at La Arena Beach in Tacoronte, the first thing you notice is its black volcanic sand and the sea, which seems calmer thanks to the natural shelter of the cliff. It has a boardwalk, occasional shade under tamarind trees, and that authentic northern Tenerife feel. Ideal for a day at the beach with a difference: sun, sea, and nature without the hustle and bustle.
