About

Check out this spot in Puertito de Güímar. Great location for kayaking, canoeing, surfing, supping, body surfing and body boarding. Puertito de Güímar is a small coastal town located in the eastern part of Tenerife island. The area stands out for its black volcanic sand beaches and turquoise waters, which contrast with the rugged, rocky coastline. The town is surrounded by hills covered in cacti, succulents, and other endemic plants that thrive in the arid climate. The landscape is dominated by towering cliffs, which provide stunning views of the coastline and the shimmering Atlantic Ocean. The area also boasts a mild climate all year round, making it an excellent destination for outdoor activities such as trekking, hiking, and sunbathing. The town has a charming promenade lined with restaurants and cafes, where visitors can enjoy local dishes and drinks or simply soak up the relaxed atmosphere.

  • Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing.
  • Always swim with others or tell someone your plan
  • A tow float makes you visible to boats and other water users

Frequently asked questions

Is this beach safe for swimming?

Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.

When is the best time to swim here?

Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.

What should I bring?

A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
