📍About this beach

The windiest beach in Tenerife and a paradise for windsurfers and kitesurfers. The wide sandy beach stretches for over 2 kilometres along the southern coast, with the distinctive Montaña Roja volcanic cone guarding its far end. The constant trade winds are strongest from midday, but the natural lagoon left at low tide keeps shallow paddling calm for families. The town behind the sand — with its board-rental shops, laid-back beach bars and weekend artisan market — has its own bohemian charm that rewards staying beyond a swim.
