Vamos a la Playa! - Which beach in Tenerife is best for children?
This family's experience:

Activities: We went to this small, dark beach. There wasn't a dry spot for our two towels. The waves were not calm. We also went to the El Punto ice cream shop

Highlights: The super delicious (but expensive) ice cream at El Punto was great. The view of the giant rock formations was really impressive, and the beach was okay, despite the waves ✨
