About the beach

Santiago del Teide · Tenerife

Located in Puerto de Santiago, Playa de la Arena is a small cove featuring very dark volcanic sand, framed by rocky outcrops and the town itself. The contrast between the sand and the white sea foam is its most striking feature; on clear days, towards evening, you can see the island of La Gomera in the distance. Its compact size makes it a convenient spot for a break, though the surf can be strong—always check the flag before swimming.
