Snorkel El Medano

El Medano

El Médano, located in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona, is known for its windy beaches and bohemian atmosphere, but it also hides ideal spots for snorkeling. Along its coast, especially in the areas near Montaña Roja and in less crowded areas, the seabed becomes a perfect setting for snorkeling.

The waters are generally clear and, on calm days, offer surprising visibility. Among volcanic rocks and small natural reefs, you can spot sea bream, sea bream, greenfish, and other local species moving in schools along the coast. Although the spot is not as deep as other areas of the island, its accessibility and tranquility make it a safe environment for beginners and families looking to try snorkeling without complications.

The contrast between the blue sea, the light-colored sand, and the imposing silhouette of Montaña Roja makes the experience more than just a water activity: it's an opportunity to connect with the natural essence of southern Tenerife. Furthermore, after diving, El Médano offers a relaxed atmosphere, with cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy the local seaside life.

In short, snorkeling in El Médano means discovering a close and friendly ocean, where underwater nature combines with the coastal charm of one of Tenerife's most unique towns.

Avistamiento de Aves en Montaña Roja

The Montaña Roja Special Nature Reserve, in El Médano, is one of the best places in southern Tenerife for birdwatching. Its semi-arid environment, salt marshes, and coastal areas provide refuge and resting places for numerous migratory species. Kentish plovers, herons, curlews, and sandpipers are common, as well as resident birds such as the trumpeter finch and the stone curlew. It's an ideal place to observe winged wildlife in peace and tranquility.

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.
