Playa Jardin

Playa Jardín isn't just a beach; it's an experience in itself. Located in Puerto de la Cruz, this gem in northern Tenerife stretches across three coves: Playa del Castillo, Playa Chica, and Punta Brava. Its soft, warm, black volcanic sand is ideal for sunbathing while listening to the crashing of the sea. Lanzarote artist César Manrique designed this setting, integrating gardens with native vegetation, waterfalls, rock caves, and winding paths that connect each area as if walking through an open-air natural gallery.

The promenade that borders the beach is full of spots to sit, have a drink, or simply take in the surroundings. There are cafes, bars, and small stalls, as well as garden areas with benches and children's playgrounds. This makes it a very popular beach for families, couples, and tourists looking to combine relaxation with urban convenience. It also has all the necessary services: showers, restrooms, sun lounger and umbrella rentals, lifeguards, and access adapted for people with reduced mobility.

Despite being close to the city center, it maintains a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. On clear days, you can see the majestic Mount Teide looming in the distance from the sand. Although the sea can be choppy, especially at the ends, there are areas protected by breakwaters that allow for safe swimming.

Playa Jardín is perfect for spending the whole day: you can start with a morning swim, eat at one of the nearby restaurants, and end by watching the sunset to the sound of the waves. If you're looking for a mix of beach, art, vegetation, and an authentic northern Tenerife atmosphere, this is the ideal place.
