Beaches in Playa de las Americas

Beachy by name, Playa de las Americas' promenade is where all the magic happens. So to get a true feel for this place, be sure to take a stroll along the coastal path where you’ll pass vast blue ocean views, swaying palm trees, friendly locals and sweeping sands. There are a handful of fantastic beaches to choose from along the coast including the small golden bay of Playa del Camison. Nestled in a quaint corner of the coast, next to a couple of small beachside hotels, this family-friendly hit offers gentle clear waters and soft sloping sands, so it’s perfect for the little ones. Café bars close by offer the perfect post-beach spot for ice cream, and even a cheeky beer or two if you fancy. Troya Beach is also a top choice for Tenerife sun-seekers, with slightly choppier tides, it’s great fun for water babies. There’s even a watersports centre nearby so you can hop on and catch some waves, whether you’re an avid surfer or simply fancy giving it a shot for the very first time. You can also discover the black volcanic sands Tenerife is famous for here, along with cobbled rock pools a little further along the coast that are definitely worth an explore.
