Playa de las Vistas is one of the most popular and best-equipped beaches in south Tenerife. 850 meters of fine golden sand (imported from the seabed), 80 meters wide. A breakwater protects it from waves, creating super calm water perfect for kids. In the center of the beach: an artificial island with a fountain shooting jets of water into the sky - a unique feature. Blue Flag for years running thanks to water quality and services. A huge seafront promenade connects it to Playa de Los Cristianos (to the right) and El Camisón / Playa de las Américas (to the left). The promenade is the largest barrier-free pedestrian area in Europe - packed with restaurants, bars, chiringuitos and shops. Fully wheelchair accessible (ramps, walkways, adapted showers, reserved parking). Lifeguards and Red Cross on duty. Sunbeds and umbrellas for rent (~€12 for 2 loungers + umbrella). Water sports available.

Navigate to parkingTHE family beach of south Tenerife - the breakwater makes the water super calm for kids. Not a wild or natural beach (it's artificial and touristy), but it's comfortable, safe, and has everything you need. The seafront promenade is great for sunset walks - kilometers of restaurants all the way to Las Américas. The port parking (PARKIA) is your best option - don't waste time looking for street parking. On clear days you can see La Gomera and El Hierro from the promenade. If you want a wilder, more tranquil beach: La Tejita is a 15 min drive.
Artificial beach created for tourism. Golden sand imported from the seabed. Multiple Blue Flag awards. AENOR quality certified. Accessible Beach certified by the Cabildo de Tenerife.
