La Arena
Beach

In the heart of Puerto de Santiago, La Arena Beach is an ideal place to enjoy the sea all year round. Its black sand and surrounding rock formations create a unique environment, perfect for relaxing in the sun or snorkelling and discovering the marine biodiversity of the coastline.

La Arena Beach, along with Los Guíos Beach, are the most award-winning beaches in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with certifications such as the Q for Tourism Quality, EMAS, ISO 14001, and ISO 9001, guarantees of environmental excellence, safety, and quality services.

There is also a commitment to inclusion and accessibility: ramps, walkways, showers, toilets, adapted sun loungers, and amphibious chairs allow everyone to enjoy this space comfortably and safely.

Well connected by public transport and located next to the Avenida Marítima, the beach is surrounded by restaurants, shops, and all the amenities you need for a perfect day by the sea.

Ethical Tourism

Enjoy it responsibly and respectfully.

  • Before you go, check the sea conditions. The waves can change quickly and affect your safety in the water.
  • Do not leave any waste behind. Always pick up your rubbish and help keep this natural environment clean.
  • Protect yourself from the sun by avoiding the central hours of the day. Avoid overexposure and stay hydrated during your visit.
  • Choose sunscreens that are respectful of the marine environment.
  • Do not alter the environment. Do not take stones, plants, or other natural elements.
  • Always use the enabled accesses. Avoid walking on slippery or unpaved surfaces.
  • Wear appropriate footwear. In summer, rock surfaces and sand can reach very high temperatures.
  • If you take photographs, do so from safe locations and without entering sensitive or dangerous areas.
  • Maintain a respectful attitude. Avoid noises and behaviours that may disturb other people.
  • Remember that you are in a natural environment. Your behaviour also contributes to its conservation and your safety.
