Playa de las Américas, Coastal resort beach in Arona, Spain
The beach features golden sand imported from Africa, stretching along the southern coast of Tenerife with several protected swimming areas and breakwaters.
The development of Playa de las Americas began in the 1960s, transforming a small coastal area into a major tourist destination near Los Cristianos fishing village.
The beachfront promenade connects multiple shopping centers, restaurants offering Spanish and international cuisine, and entertainment venues that represent modern Canarian tourism.
Visitors can rent sun loungers and umbrellas at designated areas, while water sports equipment is available for activities such as jet skiing and parasailing.
The beach belongs to a continuous 42,000-square-meter coastal development that includes the Central Park of Arona, containing tropical plant collections and recreational facilities.
