Near Costa Adeje, there are approximately 10 beaches (this is because you can differ about the exact location of each one of them). Here we’ll explain 6 of them. Let’s say they are the most popular.
Puerto Colon Beach
Located at Costa Adeje’s centre, Puerto Colon Beach is an amazing place to go with family due to its calmed tides and variate activities to be done around it. From water sports for the oldest and children’s park for the youngest.

If you decide to simply go for a swim in its calm waters that are perfect for a relaxing day, it’s important to remark that you’ll have an approach to a fine and soft white sand with a clean aspect.
Also, there are a lot of excursions that can be done. For example, we give tours around the whole island (sailing from Puerto Colon) to see dolphins and whales in their natural habitat with snacks, beverages, qualified crew and much more! It is an amazing experience and lets you meet Tenerife from another point of view.

Enramada Beach (Playa de la Enramada)
Small beach made of volcanic stones on the island’s south coast especially quiet where you can be in full contact with nature. Its sand is made of its own crushed “callaos”, which gives the beach a peculiar aspect with its black sand.
Year-round it counts with calm waves, although in some seasons surfers get there because of its high-quality waves due to the volcanic rock background.
Something unforgettable about this beach is the stone mounds formed by small towers that are in the callaos zone. Visitors have placed them at different heights and created a colourful spectacle that gets better at sunset.
