Borrowed landscaping:
Some say that the road above the beaches Playa Jardin had been built for the 4 star Maritim Hotel Tenerife, while the Playa Jardin Beach Hotel 4 star hotel Turquesa followed suite which by the way tops up its versatile service with additional self catering Tenerife apartments. Certainly, Hotel Turquesa profits most by the borrowed landscape by a parklike beachfront which can be seen from many of its windows. However, it is unlikely that hotel building was of any interest with landscape design ideas of César Manrique.
This street or upper beach promenade on the outskirts of a breath taking, big garden also serves Loro Park for its famous parrots and entertainment Tenerife.
On the other hand, Loro Park lends some of its lush green streetfronts to Playa Jardin. Hence reciprocal 'borrowed landscaping'. This priciple of borrowed landscaping is part of landscape design ideas of the Japanese culture which date back a long time. Certainly, the elite Loro Park also profits from its neigbouring beaches Playa Jardin.
The long breakwater parallel to the shore:
The photo beside shows the longest Puerto de la Cruz breakwater called Muelle which was built around 1980. There one can see until now huge concrete blocks jumbled up in front of it. They are additional wave brakes. Sometimes a red flag is on this 'Muelle', as people were washed down from it and perished. This must be the area with the worst onslaught of waves of the area in my mind, besides Punta Brava and San Telmo beach. Early in November 2011, another 8m long piece of the parallel running Puerto de la Cruz jetty near Plaza del Charco was retrieved by the Atlantic ocean. I am strongly inclined to think that this breakwater Muelle was also constructed for the protection of Playa Jardin. An important factor of town and seafront landscaping and of the landscape design ideas Playa Jardin, indeed...
Parking alongside Playa Jardin garden beaches
Parking bays on both sides of the upper beach promenade were added to the infrastructure of landscaping of Playa Jardin.Use the parking spaces successfully outside the beaches of the hanging gardens as well as the street front park for anything to do in the area, provided you come early in the day.
Also, contemplate two areal views related to Playa Jardin beaches here... The shots were taken from the ocean side. They clearly show the ocean jetties of the beaches, while the 2nd on the right portrays quite well the longest breakwater parallel to a special wide area of free parking grounds. No beach for swimming is there nor any gardens. To swim there would be absolute suicide. This is why it is not correct to call the picture on the left Playa Jardin which means garden beach.
Just now another big piece of the jetty of about 8m length was reclaimed by the Atlantic at the beginning of November 2011.

What would help greatly with implementing all the intriguing landscape design ideas of the team for garden landscaping and beach improvement was the Tenerife sun. Never mind that it may be quite capricious. Even, when it hides behind picturesque ocean clouds, it still creates an undisputed good climate in Tenerife.
Breaking heads to come up with more than one idea was worth it.
