Playa de las Teresitas
Santa Cruz de Tenerife
If you are looking for a picture-postcard beach in Tenerife, with clear sand, palm trees and calm water, Las Teresitas is the place for you. It's only 10 minutes from Santa Cruz, but it feels like you've jumped straight into the Caribbean.
Unlike many volcanic beaches on the island, here the sand is golden (from the Sahara, no less) and the water is so calm it's like a giant swimming pool. Perfect for swimming, floating carefree or just lying in the sun to unwind.
Everything is close at hand: beach bars for a cold beer, showers, parking and even umbrellas if you don't bring your own. The atmosphere is very local, so it's normal to see families, groups of friends and locals spending the day as if it were Sunday all year round.
And if you like to move around a bit, you can take a walk along the breakwater or go up to the Los Órganos viewpoint, from where you can see the whole beach with the blue sea in the background. Incredible.
In short: Las Teresitas is chill beach, authentic atmosphere and amazing views. A classic that never fails.

Where to eat
Lucky Helado
If you're in downtown Santa Cruz and fancy something cold while strolling around Plaza de España, Lucky Helado is a very convenient option. It's a takeaway shop with a variety of ice creams and fast service, ideal for a quick stop before continuing your walk. Perfect for cooling off without any hassle right in the city center. There are often queues.
What to see
Presa de los Campitos
If you're looking for a peaceful getaway near Santa Cruz with a unique twist, the Los Campitos Dam has something special. It's not just nature: it's an abandoned structure that lends a distinctive character to the surroundings. You can stroll around, explore, and discover the contrast between the natural landscape and what was left unused. It's a little-known spot, perfect for disconnecting and discovering something different without going too far.
Activities
Área Recreativa Llano Los Viejos
If you're looking for a picnic area within Anaga that's more secluded and less crowded than others, Llano de Los Viejos has a very different feel. Here you're immersed in the laurel forest, with frequent mist, humidity, and that typical silence of the northern mountains. It's a more enclosed spot, perfect for relaxing, having a picnic or barbecue, and disconnecting from the hustle and bustle.
Beaches
Antequera
Antequera Beach is that hidden corner of Anaga that can only be reached by sea or after a challenging hike: black volcanic sand, colorful cliffs, and a wild atmosphere. Perfect if you're looking for relaxation, pure nature, and an uncrowded beach. Ideal for those who value authenticity and don't mind a bit of a hike.
Nightlife
Urban 180
If you enjoy sipping a drink with city views and continuing the night without leaving one spot, Azotea Urban 180 is one of those rooftop bars I love to visit. Located on the seventh floor of the Hotel Urban Anaga in Santa Cruz, it shows: you get a panoramic view of the city, the sunsets take on a whole new dimension, the music and cocktails liven up the atmosphere, and as night falls, the place transforms into a lively rooftop club with a great vibe and people ready to have a good time.
Shopping
Tiburón Libre
Tiburón Libre, located at 44 Callao de Lima Street (Santa Cruz), is a technical and recreational dive shop that stands out for its extensive catalog of renowned brands such as Aqualung, Suunto, Cressi, Mares, and Suex, its technical service, and its very personal service. Here you can see and touch the equipment, order items they don't have, and get great prices without having to wait for orders. It's ideal for both frequent divers and those looking to get started.
Sports
Santa Cruz Extreme
The Santa Cruz Extreme is an iconic mountain race in Tenerife, which runs through Anaga Rural Park and finishes in Santa Cruz. It has several categories (60 km, 33 km, 18 km, 10 km, and a vertical race), with steep slopes, routes along trails, and traditional farmhouses. Held in October, it attracts runners of many nationalities; it is also notable for its sustainable approach and for promoting the natural and rural value of Anaga.
Trekking
PR TF 06
This trail is no walk in the park: it's Anaga in its purest form. You hike the PR-TF 6 knowing that steep inclines, rough terrain, and plenty of sun await you. It connects El Draguillo, Chamorga, and the Anaga Lighthouse, passing through isolated hamlets and along a wild coastline. Here, every step demands attention, but in return, you'll walk one of the most complete and challenging routes in the massif, with breathtaking scenery, rich history, and genuine silence.
