Parque Marítimo César Manrique
The César Manrique Maritime Park is a leisure complex of 22,000 m² on the coast of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, designed by the Lanzarote artist César Manrique and inaugurated in 1995 as a posthumous work (Manrique passed away in 1992). It features three seawater pools that receive water directly from the ocean, two of them with artificial islands and variable depths accessible by beach-style ramps or stairs, in addition to a children's pool. The complex integrates natural elements characteristic of Manrique such as volcanic rock, palm trees, and ornamental plants alongside saltwater waterfalls.
It has restaurants, terraces, changing rooms with hot water, showers, a gym, and solarium areas with sunbeds. It is located between the Tenerife Auditorium (work of Santiago Calatrava) and the Palmetum botanical garden.
