Playa Diego Hernández is a wild and minimally urbanized cove located in the municipality of Adeje, in the area of La Caleta, just below the Costa Adeje Golf Course. It measures approximately 80 meters of usable beach (up to about 200 meters in total length according to some sources) by about 25 meters wide, significantly reducing with high tide, with golden sand and turquoise, calm waters, and offers views towards the island of La Gomera. It is only accessible on foot via a dirt path (or by sea), and it is completely devoid of equipment, surveillance, and beach bars, making it one of the most unspoiled beaches in the south of Tenerife.

It has a bohemian atmosphere and nudism is common, although it is not an official naturist beach. It is advisable to visit it at low tide, as at high tide there is barely any space left on the sand.

Essential information

Accessibility

Accessible only on foot: by car, take the TF-1 towards Campo de Golf Costa Adeje (exit 79B) and park for free on Calle Tajore (or in the area of Avenida de los Acantilados), from where a dirt path descends next to the golf course to the beach in about 10-15 minutes; there is also a longer coastal route on foot from La Caleta (or from El Puertito de Armeñime). It is not accessible for people with reduced mobility, as the only land access is an unpaved dirt path.

Risk Level

Wear closed shoes and plan your visit at low tide, as at high tide the sand almost disappears and the waves can have a dragging force; since there is no surveillance or services, exercise extreme caution when swimming and bring water.
