Diego Hernández beach

A wild beach in Tenerife

Located in La Caleta, in the municipality of Adeje, this beach has golden sand and turquoise waters. One of the least known spots in Tenerife, it’s a great place for you to relax in a wild environment. The beach is small, about 80 metres long and 25 wide, so it’s advisable to visit at low tide, rather than high tide when there isn’t much space on the sand.

A path along the sea

Like most untouched beaches, accessing Diego Hernández beach requires some effort. It can’t be reached by car, and some walking is required. The easiest route is through the path that begins next to a raised walkway in the vicinity of the Golf Costa de Ajede complex.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Do not use soap or gel in the showers located at the entrance to the beach.
Try to use ocean-friendly sun creams.
Pets are prohibited at most beaches. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
