Nestled in the quaint municipality of Santiago del Teide, on the western coast of Tenerife, Spain, Playa La Arena is a mesmerizing volcanic beach known for its strikingly dark, almost black, sand which contrasts beautifully with the azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Stretching over a modest length, this beach beckons visitors with a plethora of activities like swimming, sunbathing, paddle boarding, and beach volleyball, ensuring a day full of fun and relaxation. Playa La Arena has many amenities including lifeguards on duty, ensuring the safety of all beachgoers, access to bathrooms for convenience, and despite not allowing dogs or camping, these offerings make for a comfortable beach experience. However, if you're interested in activities like surfing or bringing your furry friends along, you'll need to explore other coastlines.
