Playa de San Juan is a semi-urban beach with dark volcanic sand located in the fishing village of San Juan, in the municipality of Guía de Isora, about ten kilometers from the town center. With about 360 meters in length and around 30 meters in width, its waters are calm and have little waves thanks to the protection of the pier and breakwater. It offers full services such as showers, footbaths, sunbed and umbrella rentals, a tourist information point, a children's play area, and access adapted for people with reduced mobility.

Alongside the beach runs a promenade with cafes and restaurants, and it has flown the Blue Flag in recent years. Its calm atmosphere makes it a peaceful option compared to the more crowded tourist areas in the south.
