Playa de Fañabé

Playa de Fañabé

Playa de Fañabé is one of the great urban beaches of Costa Adeje, in southwest Tenerife. It is part of the long seafront that links Torviscas with El Duque and has established itself as one of the most comfortable and best-equipped beaches in the municipality of Adeje. About 600 metres long and around 40 metres wide, it is a spacious place, designed for family tourism and for those who want to spend the day with every service within reach. Its sand is pale and golden, brought in, a common feature of the beaches along this southern strip of the island, where the natural substrate is volcanic. The seabed is sandy and the sea is usually calm, with gentle waves thanks to the southern orientation and the general shelter of this coast. This makes it a pleasant spot for calm bathing and for families with children, although you should always follow the instructions of the lifeguard service and the flags of the day. Behind the sand runs a well-kept promenade that follows the whole Costa Adeje coast, lined with hotels, tourist apartments, shops and a notable choice of bars and restaurants. It is a convenient starting point for discovering other beaches in the area on foot along the shore.
