Las Teresitas

A family beach in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

The beach at Las Teresitas is located in the north-east of Tenerife, close to the centre of Santa Cruz. Approximately 1.5 kilometres long, the beach benefits from a breakwater that protects against currents and creates water so calm that it resembles a pool. Little ones can play on the shore safely and learn to swim next to their parents as they enjoy the vast shallow areas where they can stand up.

Beach bars on the sandy beach

The palms and other trees that decorate the beach allow children to play all day on the golden sand, building castles and digging holes, protected by the trees’ shade. The beach provides showers, toilets and changing rooms as well as several bars selling snacks and drinks. It also has a rescue team that oversees the safety of its users, as well as public transport links and ample parking.

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.
