About the beach

Adeje · Tenerife

Diego Hernández—also known as Playa Blanca—is a light-colored cove on the Adeje coast that requires a walk to reach. The absence of a developed promenade and its popularity among naturists give it a character distinct from resort beaches. Bring water and footwear suitable for the trail. The width of the sandy area depends on the tide; assess the available space and do not set up beneath cliff faces or exposed overhangs.
