Playa de la Tejita

Beach Granadilla de Abona, Canary Islands, Spain

What to expect

La Tejita is a natural beach in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona, in the south of Tenerife. It is a somewhat dark golden sand beach located in a protected natural area, next to the well-known Montaña Roja, an ancient reddish volcanic crater. The beach is relatively isolated, 1 kilometer long, and has a small cove enabled as a nudist area. It is an ideal place to take a bath, get wet on the shore, take long walks, enjoy the sun, and practice water sports. The beach is popular with windsurfers and has hosted the world championship. It is a natural beach, without many services, frequented by both tourists and residents of the island, whether young people, couples, athletes, and families
