Beaches

Playa de Los Cristianos

A calm, curved bay beach right in the centre of Los Cristianos, sheltered enough for easy family swimming.

Playa de Los Cristianos curves around the town's original harbour, giving it a naturally sheltered shape that keeps the water calmer than more exposed south-coast beaches. It's an easy walk from almost anywhere in town, backed by a promenade of restaurants and cafes rather than the bigger resort hotels found in Costa Adeje.

It's a popular choice with the long-stay winter visitors Los Cristianos is known for — an easy, low-effort beach day without needing to travel, right in the middle of town.

Because the harbour shelters it so effectively, it's also one of the more reliable choices on the island if the forecast looks unsettled elsewhere — the bay tends to stay calmer than open-coast beaches even when conditions are choppier further along the south coast.
