The sun-bronzed sands of this artificial beach front the calm waters of the Atlantic. Originally a black sand beach, in 1973, several tons of white sand were transplanted here from the Western Sahara to form a scenic strip of powdered gold. At the same time, a breakwater was constructed just off the shore to tame the crashing waves, rendering Playa de Las Teresitas a fine spot for a dip in the ocean near the village of San Andrés. Along the way lie a few restaurants, cafes and bars serving refreshments. One of the select few beaches of Tenerife to feature golden sand instead of the more common volcanic black, the Playa de Las Teresitas is one of the island's most frequented seaside retreats. Between the oil rigs that tow the horizon and the mountains of Anaga, this silvered stretch of the coast of Tenerife basks in the warmth of the sun.
