Playa de Las Teresitas, Public beach in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.
The beach stretches for 1300 meters along the coast, featuring white sand imported from the Sahara Desert and protected by a lengthy breakwater.
The beach underwent a complete transformation in 1973 when engineers added white sand and constructed barriers to create safer swimming conditions.
Local fishermen from San Andrés village maintain their traditional activities at the northern end of the beach, selling fresh catches daily.
Visitors find complete facilities including showers, restrooms, changing rooms, lifeguard services, parking areas, and multiple food establishments along the beach.
The beach contains over 200 palm trees planted along its length, providing natural shade zones throughout the sandy expanse.
