Playa Las Galgas

The 50-meter sandy beach stretches along the coastline, featuring a mixture of sand and gravel that forms a natural barrier against the sea waves.

The beach developed alongside the growth of Costa Adeje during the 20th century, when Tenerife established itself as a maritime destination in the Canary Islands.

Local fishermen maintain their presence at Las Galgas beach, continuing maritime traditions that connect present-day activities with centuries of island heritage.

The beach maintains low occupancy throughout the year and offers basic facilities including waste bins, cleaning services, and wheelchair-accessible paths to the shore.

Located near protected natural areas, the beach provides clear views of marine life through its moderate waves at just 3 meters above sea level.
