Playa de Las Teresitas
An artificial beach near Santa Cruz covered with golden Saharan sand, with calm water inside the breakwater and a valley and fishing village behind it.
Las Teresitas Beach lies beside the fishing village of San Andrés, about 8 km from Santa Cruz. Laid down in the 1970s with fine golden sand brought from the Sahara, it stretches about 1.3 km and is protected by an outer breakwater, so the water is calm and suitable for swimming and for families with children. The beach has palm trees, showers and snack kiosks, and it is free. The seafood restaurants in San Andrés village are worth trying. Bus 910 serves the beach, but parking is tight on weekends.
