Discover Details:
Sardinero
I suggest visiting Sardinero during the early morning. The beach is less crowded, and the sunrise views are stunning.
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks to save money. The beachside cafes can get pricey, especially during peak hours
Tenerife
If you're into surfing, check out Playa de la LaTejita. The waves are great and there's less crowd compared to other spots, plus it's free! Just be careful with your stuff, as I had my towel 'borrowed' once.
I recommend visiting Playa de las Teresitas early in the morning, around 8 AM. The golden sand and calm waters are perfect for a chill beach day before the tourists arrive.
If you want to get great surf lessons, look for local schools rather than big brands... I got a fantastic deal with a small surf shop that wasn't on the main tourist radar - way more personalized!
Somo Beach
I recommend packing a picnic instead of buying food at the beach. The beach bars can be pricey, but the nearby supermarket has some great stuff for a beach lunch!
My advice is to rent a surfboard early in the day... The shops get busy, and I ended up waiting way too long just to grab one
Lanzarote
Check out the local surf schools for deals on group lessons. I found one that was half the price of the others, and the instructors were super friendly and helpful. Makes a huge difference if you're just starting out!
Bring your own snacks and drinks to the beach! Many of the beach bars can be a bit overpriced and you’ll save a lot by packing a cooler. Plus it’s nice to have your favorite treats while soaking up the sun.
Gran Canaria
I recommend trying to find local surf schools instead of the big names. They usually have better prices and are super friendly. I ended up saving quite a bit this way!
Bring your own snacks and drinks to the beach. Some kiosks charge ridiculous prices. I ended up spending way too much on sodas! A little thermos can go a long way.
Fuerteventura
Make sure to pack a cooler with snacks and drinks for the beach. I spent way too much on overpriced stuff at the kiosks - a little prep goes a long way!
I suggest getting a rental car. It gave me the freedom to explore those hidden beaches and spots like Playa de Cofete without relying on public transport. Trust me, it's worth it!
Stay in Corralejo, it's super fun with lots of bars and restaurants. Plus, you're close to the northern beaches. I loved how lively it felt, especially at night!
Praia de Razo
The sunsets here are breathtaking! Plan to stay until just after 8 PM to catch it. My friend and I almost left early, but it turned out to be the highlight of our day.
Parking can get tricky, especially on weekends. Arriving by 10 AM is your best bet for a good spot. I had to circle around twice and wasted time looking for a space!
Rodiles Beach
El Hierro
When it comes to beach hopping, rent a car instead of relying on public transport. It’s not only cheaper but also gives you the freedom to explore hidden gems like Playa del Verodal, which can be a bit off the beaten path.
If you're into surfing, check out Playa de Timijiraque for the best waves, but be ready to get there early, like around 8 AM, to snag a good spot before it gets populated. I've seen crowds build up quickly.
I suggest visiting the natural pools in La Maceta for a unique swimming experience, but go on a weekday if possible. Weekends can get super busy, and you won’t want to miss out on the calm and serenity!
Zarautz Beach
If you wanna dodge the crowded beach, try getting there before 10 AM. It’s super chill in the morning and you can grab a nice spot without fighting for space. Plus, the sunrise views are stunning!
