The 3 best beaches in the north of Tenerife Las Teresitas, Benijo, Garachico - What do they offer?

Beaches in the north of Tenerife: Beauty and tranquillity

The beaches of the north of Tenerife, when we talk about them, we must take into account that we are on an island, an island of considerable size. One of the advantages of this is that not only are there many beaches, but they are also very different from each other.

The beaches of Tenerife differ in many ways:

  • Type of arena
  • Type of bathers
  • Type of environment

These differences are a determining factor in finding the right beach for you, your friends or your family!

Although the southern beaches are particularly popular, this does not mean that they are more beautiful than those of the rest of the island. In fact, among the best beaches in Tenerife, we find many beautiful beaches in the north, quiet, unpopulated and spectacular. But why not? Also beaches that provide a festive atmosphere without being extremely touristy.

Which beach in the north of Tenerife should I choose?

The choice of beaches in the north of Tenerife depends on personal taste. Each beach has something to offer, something different from any other beach on the island, so it is advisable to visit as many as possible!

The truth is that you can't fall in love with a beach without really trying. But you can know what you will find in the best beaches in Tenerife:

Las Teresitas Beach


It is a lovely artificial beach. The arena comes directly from the Sahara desert, granted by the King of Morocco to the city of Santa Cruz.
The beach is extremely spacious, the waters crystal clear and the location stunning.
It is a very busy beach, so you will have all the comfort possible. It is close to the village of San Andres where, among other things, it is possible to eat excellent fish at reasonable prices.

Benijo Beach
This beach is for the more adventurous: arena typical black beach accompanied by pebbles; crystal clear waters and tranquility typical of a hidden beach.
Appreciated by the locals, this beach is located within walking distance of the Anaga National Park.
Important note: swimsuits are optional here!

Natural pools of Garachico
After a volcanic eruption, wonderful natural pools were formed.
Located in the quiet village of Garachico, these natural volcanic pools are the perfect solution for a relaxing weekend.
They are not frequented by tourists and are located within walking distance of a picturesque village with all amenities.
A treasure only for canaries (or almost).

This is just a sample of the treasures the island has to offer. If you don't believe it, come and see - we're waiting for you!
