Playa del Camison, Golden sand beach in Playa de las Americas, Spain
Playa del Camison is a sandy beach in Playa de las Americas extending about 350 meters along the southern coast of Tenerife. Two protective breakwaters keep the water calm year-round, and palm trees line the entire shoreline.
The beach developed in the 1960s as part of the southern coast's transformation into a major tourist destination. This growth reshaped the region and brought increasing numbers of visitors to the area.
The beach stands at the center of local festivities, where residents and visitors gather for seasonal celebrations and traditional Canarian music performances.
The beach is accessible for wheelchairs and offers rentals for loungers and umbrellas. Shower facilities connect directly to the waterfront promenade for easy access.
From the shoreline, visitors can observe ships navigating between Tenerife and La Gomera while palm trees line the entire length of the beach.
