Los Cristianos

Urban beach 345 m longGolden sand and calm waters protected by the portOld fishing village with stranded boats

Urban beach located in the old fishing village of Los Cristianos, in the municipality of Arona, and one of the first in the area to receive tourism in the 1960s. It is about 345 meters long and 80 meters wide, with fine golden sand and very calm waters thanks to the protection of the harbor breakwaters, making it especially suitable for families. Small fishing boats still anchor on the shore, preserving the maritime atmosphere of the place, integrated into the urban area among shops and restaurants.

It features showers, footbaths, municipal cleaning service, sunbeds and umbrellas for rent, and offers water sports.
