Tenerife beaches' Las Teresitas with safe swimming , good snorkeling and warmer sun.
The photo of one of the best bigger Tenerife beaches Playa de las Teresitas beach is by Ursula Astrid Ruppender. This seashore is 7 km outside Santa Cruz, almost, by the most eastern corner of the island. Las Teresitas Playa is about 150 km from the coasts of Morocco of north west Africa, but below the latitude of the Moroccan beach resort Agadir. You can see it all by scrolling eastwards from the Tenerife maps. Why maps? You can make more out of one. The beach Teresita itself is about 1500 meters long. The almost Hundertwasser type cluster village hugging the Anaga mountain slope on one site of the beach is lovely fishing hamlet San Andres.
Did you know that Playa Las Teresitas is one of the most popular safe Tenerife beaches for swimming with a breakwater 500 m off shore which fences off high waves on the biggest of all Canary Islands? Why is that so? Tenerife spent a bit of money there for holiday comfort. Also, its golden Sahara sand was carted to Santa Cruz free port in big ships which also was done for Tenerife beaches in the South, by the way. Playa de las Teresitas is warm and cozy. It feels like looking at it through pink glasses with its typical Tenerife mountain scenery and African light.

Playa de las Teresitas is not a surf beach like Playa Martianez or like Playa de las Americas. However, I know all kinds of North Tenerife people that love this beach very much. And so do I... Whenever the north of the island is cooled down by a low front or wind, Playa Las Teresitas may not be windy, at all. The Anaga mountains keep it warm in its back and, the Santa Cruz sun does the rest to heat it up. I, personally, love the beach area closest to the mountain where I always find a palm tree that provides just enough shade. There could be more palms, though, if you are asking me. Please, go see some photos of the Anaga mountains, here... At times there is quite a bit of a wind, though at the Santa Cruz main beach. People's beach umbrellas fly away, then. Therefor, the best time to go to this beach is in the morning. That's when my friend Guenther calls it the most beautiful of all Tenerife beaches.
