Playa de San Telmo, Sand beach in Puerto de la Cruz, Spain
The horseshoe-shaped beach features two sections with tidal pools and a volcanic outcrop that acts as a natural barrier against ocean waves.
The beach area underwent significant changes when its ancient protective wall was partially removed due to structural safety concerns in past decades.
Local festivals and gatherings regularly take place at Playa de San Telmo, connecting residents with traditional Canary Islands celebrations throughout the year.
The beach offers modern facilities including showers, wheelchair access ramps, and a waterfront promenade following a 1.7 million Euro renovation project.
Natural tidal pools called charcos form between volcanic rocks, creating protected spaces where children can observe marine life in shallow waters.
