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
Cala Comte
I think you should check the weather before you go. Sometimes the winds can pick up in the afternoon, making it less enjoyable. The calm mornings are definitely the best!
Santa Ponca Beach
Watch out for those beach vendors; they can get a bit pushy. Just smile and say 'no gracias' if you’re not interested.
I suggest trying out the local tapas at the beachside restaurants. Way tastier than tourist traps and usually cheaper, too!
If you’re in for some fun, rent paddleboards around 2 PM when the crowds thin out a bit. It's a great way to explore without too many people around.
Nerja Burriana Beach
Definitely bring some cash! A few local vendors only accept cash, and I almost missed out on some mouth-watering beach snacks because I didn’t have any.
I recommend you hit the beach by 9 AM to snag a good spot. By noon, it gets pretty packed, and finding a sunbed can take ages!
I found the public restrooms a bit dirty. It’s best to bring some hygiene supplies with you, just in case you can't find something clean when you need it.
If you're planning to have lunch there, skip the beachside restaurants. They charge way more. I suggest walking a bit inland for better deals and tastier food.
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
Cala Llombards
Bring some snacks and drinks! The beach does have a couple of nearby cafes, but they can be pricey. I think packing a picnic will save you some cash and let you enjoy the view longer.
I recommend checking the weather the day before you go. It suddenly got cloudy when I visited, and I missed some great sunshine. Better to be prepared than to be disappointed!
Cala Major Beach
Definitely check out the beach bars around lunchtime. I recommend trying the paella; it's fresh and not too pricey. Just avoid the tourist traps right on the sand if you want to save some cash!
Don’t forget to explore beyond the beach! I suggest taking a short walk to the nearby promenade. It’s nice to stroll, and there are some cute shops and less crowded bars to chill in.
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.
Calo Des Moro
I suggest going to Calo Des Moro early, around 8 AM, to snag a good spot before the crowd pours in. The morning light is stunning too
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. There are no shops nearby, and buying from the few vendors is a bit pricey.
