Las Teresitas is a man-made white-sand cove in the Canaries, its golden Saharan sand fringed by palm trees.

Highlights

Golden-sand curve built with Saharan sand, rare in volcanic Tenerife.
Sheltered by breakwaters, so the water stays calm and family-friendly.
Palm-lined promenade with views north to the Anaga mountains.

Tip: Weekend mornings fill up with locals — arrive early for a front-row spot on the sand.
