Beaches in La Caleta

Playa de la Enramada

This is a very nice beach, with a beach bar where people come for the live music in the evenings.

It is a clean beach, with black volcanic sand and it's not very crowded.

Playa La Caleta

This beach has become more popular in recent years, due to the addition of the sun loungers and the beach bar, which makes it convenient now to have a drink while lounging in the sun. 

It is still a peaceful place to spend the day in Tenerife south and offers brilliant views of the ocean.

Playa El Varadero

This is a really small and pebbly beach, very quiet even compared to the other beaches in La Caleta, which in turn are tranquil compared to the beaches in other resorts in the area.
