These are some of my favourite places in Tenerife. Most of them are protected places of great scientific and heritage value. Take care of them. I also recommend some activities to enjoy nature in the Activities section.
Benijo
Benijo
Without a doubt, one of our favourite beaches.
Benijo is located just after Taganana beach, both on the north side of the island.
To get there you have to walk down a path with steps. It is best to go at low tide, which leaves an incredible sandy beach. However, be careful with the sea on this beach! The waves are usually very high and the tide drags you along.
We remind you that these areas are protected.
Taganana
Taganana
Black sand beach with waves in the north of the island.
Punta Hidalgo
Punta Hidalgo
Coastal area with puddles and a beach of stones.
Rambla de Castro
Rambla de Castro
The Las Aguas-La Rambla trail is an hour-long trail of low difficulty. It is an ideal route to enjoy the views of the north of the island and the old houses in the area. It is also a good place to take some photos.
Punta de Teno
Punta de Teno
It is the westernmost point of the island and forms part of the protected area of the Teno Rural Park. At the end of the tongue of land that juts out into the sea is the Punta de Teno lighthouse, one of the seven lighthouses that mark the coasts of the island of Tenerife.
Anaga
Anaga
The lungs of Tenerife.
This Rural Park, declared a Biosphere Reserve, is very close to Santa Cruz and La Laguna.
It is a large mountain massif inhabited by endemic flora and fauna. Its vegetation is very similar to that which occupied the land in dinosaur times.
From the Cruz de Carmen viewpoint there are easy trails that take just one hour, such as the Sendero de los Sentidos (Path of the Senses), which will transport you to a fairy tale.
Montaña Pelada
Montaña Pelada
The Montaña Pelada Natural Monument, near El Médano, is a volcanic cone, the result of an underwater eruption. It is a place of great geological and scenic value.
Montaña Roja
Montaña Roja
Montaña Roja is an ancient volcano that overlooks the beach of El Médano from the south. If you have suitable footwear and it is not too windy, you can climb to the top of this mountain without any problem. It takes less than an hour to climb and along the way there are information panels explaining the importance of this mountain within the Nature Reserve and its role in World War II.
Charco del Viento
Charco del Viento
The volcanic nature of the Canary Islands gives rise to all kinds of coasts: quiet beaches, beaches of yellow and black sand and rocky coasts with small pools of salt water. The Charco del Viento is one of the many pools that arise from the cooling of the lava as it reaches the sea.
This particular one is located on the north side of the island and is easily accessible and even has a sandy area.
