This 260-meter long and 25-meter wide beach features distinctive olive-colored sand and clear waters, offering a compact seaside experience with basic amenities including showers, restrooms, and designated parking areas for convenient access.
Playa de la Garita has served as a traditional coastal recreation area for Telde residents for decades, evolving from a simple local fishing spot into a developed urban beach with improved infrastructure and enhanced visitor facilities.
The beach regularly hosts local community gatherings, beach sports competitions, and seasonal festivities that bring together residents and visitors for volleyball tournaments, jogging activities, and traditional Canarian celebrations throughout the year.
