Bodyboarding in Punta Blanca

A powerful bodyboarding wave in Tenerife's natural environment

Punta Blanca is a bodyboarding spot located in the west of Tenerife, close to Guia de Isora. This is one of the most iconic waves of the island, both for its power and the unspoilt environment in which it is located. Recommended for riders of medium to expert level (especially on days with big waves), it's a short wave but it walls up and produces a powerful tube. This spot is ideal for extreme manoeuvres, has a great atmosphere and hosts several local surf competitions.

A spot with a volcanic reef base for riders from mid-level upwards

Access to the spot at Punta Blanca is over a volcanic reef and riders should take care: when walking over a volcanic bed it is recommended to wear boots. The best conditions for bodyboarding are during days with N-NE-SE-E winds at low or mid-tide, especially from October to May. The beach area has showers, parking, restaurants and a rescue service.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
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.
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'.
Try to use ocean- friendly sun creams.
