El Porís de Abona

El Porís de Abona is a coastal village on the southeastern shore of Tenerife with beaches, a harbor wall, and housing along clear waters. The settlement spreads along a rocky coastline with natural coves and ocean access.

The village began as a fishing port, with the lighthouse at Punta de Abona becoming a key navigation point for regional maritime traffic. This role shaped its economic development over many generations.

Fishermen still use traditional methods and gather at the harbor rocks as part of daily life. Local restaurants prepare Canarian potatoes with mojo sauce and fresh fish from the region.

The village has numerous diving spots with volcanic rock formations and small caves, where sea turtles are commonly seen. Conditions vary by season, so good planning helps visitors explore the coastal areas safely.

An underwater statue of the Virgin Mary sits on rocks in the diving area, forming an unexpected religious monument beneath the ocean. This artwork is known among divers and attracts regular visits.
