Beaches and nature near Puerto de la Cruz
The northern coast of Tenerife is characterised by its dark sand beaches, cliffs and the contrast between the Atlantic Ocean and the vegetation of the Valle de La Orotava. From Puerto de la Cruz, you can easily reach different coastal areas, both urban and more natural.
Playa Jardín
Playa Jardín is one of the best known beaches in Puerto de la Cruz. Its surroundings were designed with gardens, paths and walking areas connecting the volcanic sand with the tropical vegetation characteristic of the city.
It is a pleasant place to walk by the sea, relax and enjoy the coastal views.
Playa Bollullo
Near Puerto de la Cruz you will find Playa Bollullo, a black volcanic sand beach surrounded by cliffs and vegetation. Its more natural setting makes it different from the city's urban beaches and offers a characteristic view of Tenerife's northern coastline.
Access requires driving along a local road and walking the final section, but the surroundings are well worth the effort for those looking for a quieter and less urban beach.
Nearby places to visit by car
Puerto de la Cruz is also an excellent starting point for excursions through the Valle de La Orotava, the northern coast and the volcanic areas of inland Tenerife. In a short drive, you can go from historic cities and traditional villages to high mountain landscapes and natural areas.
