BOX-FISH - Dive Shop
Costa del Silencio
When you walk into BOX-FISH in Costa del Silencio, you know you're in a serious store: their physical store is located at 2 Chasna Street, Costa Sol Building, Unit 2, and their online space serves as an extension of what you see when you walk in. What I like most about BOX-FISH is that they truly have "everything" for diving, freediving, snorkeling, and spearfishing: from masks, regulators, and wetsuits to technical equipment like dive computers and underwater photography accessories. You can come with a basic idea or a specific need, and they'll probably have it or can get it quickly.
Another thing that sets them apart is their pricing: many people agree that their prices are among the most competitive in Europe for this type of equipment. It's not uncommon to see online prices that are more convincing than those of other similar stores, and they combine that with a home delivery service, which is great if you're on another island or far away.
Additionally, they offer equipment rental, which is very useful if you just want to dive a few times without carrying a full kit, or if you want to try something out before buying it. The physical inventory is large, so you can see and try it out when you visit. You also get professional support: staff with in-depth technical knowledge, which is a great help if you don't know which regulator to choose or what wetsuit size is right for you.
The hours are reasonable for those who combine diving with leisure: open Monday through Friday mornings and afternoons, and Saturday mornings; closed on Sundays. Everyone mentions the customer service, the fast delivery, the variety of official brands, and the fact that you feel taken care of even if you're not an advanced user.
If I had to choose a couple of key points that make me prefer BOX-FISH over another dive shop in Tenerife, they would be: its balance between price and quality, the variety of technical equipment, and the fact that you can rent if you don't want to buy something expensive upfront. It's one of those shops that works well for both those who only dive occasionally and those who want to build serious equipment.

Where to eat
D´Tapas
If you work in the Las Chafiras area and are looking for a simple place to have an early breakfast or a good lunch without spending a lot, Cafetería De Tapas is a very practical option. The place caters to local workers, so it opens early and is great for quick breakfasts and a set lunch menu for €11. The food is homemade, tasty, and well-prepared for the price, served in a clean and uncomplicated atmosphere.
What to see
La Hoya
The hamlet of La Hoya, in San Miguel de Abona, is one of those places that helps you understand what life was like in southern Tenerife before tourism. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest as an Ethnological Site, it preserves traditional architecture, historic paths, water sources, and agricultural terraces in a rural setting that has changed very little over time.
Activities
A.O.C. PETANCA, LOS CRISTIANOS
The A.O.C. Petanca Los Cristianos is a veteran club in the south of Tenerife, right across from the beach, where passion for this traditional sport is in the air. Located in a quiet, sunny area, it brings together local and visiting players looking for a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. More than just a court, it's a social meeting place where camaraderie, laughter, and healthy competition keep alive a deeply rooted custom in the Canary Islands.
Beaches
Playa de los Cristianos Puerto
Los Cristianos Beach, next to the port of the same name, is one of the most iconic beaches in southern Tenerife. Protected from the waves by the pier, it offers calm waters and golden sand, perfect for swimming and strolling. From the shore, you can observe the activity of the fishing port and the departure of ferries to La Gomera, combining a local atmosphere with the maritime charm of a traditional coastal town.
Nightlife
Roca Blanca
This beach club, located right on the seafront in one of the quietest areas of Los Cristianos, is ideal for enjoying a leisurely cocktail and stretching out the afternoon until sunset. It features a terrace with tables, a swimming pool, and Balinese beds, which should be reserved in advance. The atmosphere is relaxed, with music and a DJ, perfect for quiet get-togethers with friends or even for working from home with ocean views. It's not a place for formal dining, but rather for savoring the experience, the friendly service, and the sunset as the main attraction.
Shopping
Mercado del Agricultor del Valle de San Lorenzo
The San Lorenzo Valley Farmers Market, in the municipality of Arona, is a space where local farmers and artisans offer fruits, vegetables, cheeses, breads, wines, and traditional pastries directly to the public. With a warm and authentic atmosphere, it is an ideal place for those seeking fresh, quality products, while supporting the local economy and the agricultural traditions of southern Tenerife.
Sports
Circuito Motocross
The San Miguel de Abona Motocross Circuit is one of Tenerife's premier motocross venues. Its technically designed volcanic terrain combines jumps, tight turns, and fast sections, offering fun for both experienced and beginner riders. Located in an arid environment overlooking the sea, it is a popular meeting point for motorsports enthusiasts, with a local atmosphere, training sessions, and competitions throughout the year.
Trekking
Sendero Montaña Roja
Walking the circular route that starts in El Médano and heads toward Montaña Roja is like stepping into an otherworldly volcanic landscape: reddish sand, deep blue sea, and the wind that caresses you with every step. You can see World War II bunkers, aquatic birds, and panoramic views of the southern part of the island. You'll love it if you're looking for an easy hike with that "reconnect with nature" feel in southern Tenerife.
