Playa del Puertito de Adeje
An unspoilt cove in a small fishing village in southern Tenerife, with crystal-clear water and good snorkelling, free of development.

The Playa del Puertito de Adeje is a cove that remains almost untouched at El Puertito, a small fishing village of around twenty houses in southern Tenerife. Unlike the busier resort areas of Adeje, the surroundings here stay free of development, keeping a calm and authentic feel by the sea.
Its crystal-clear water makes it a favourite for swimming and snorkelling, and sea turtles are often spotted in the area. Access is on foot or by car, and its simple atmosphere makes it a peaceful alternative for those seeking a quiet, uncrowded cove on the southern coast.
