Playa de San Juan
Blue Flag black-sand beach in a quiet fishing village on Tenerife's west coast.

Sheltered by a breakwater, this dark-sand-and-shingle beach keeps the feel of a Canarian fishing village, with a pleasant seafront promenade and terraces for fresh fish. Its calm water and rocky bottom make it good for swimming and snorkelling, and it has held a Blue Flag for years.
