Playa Cueva de la Arena is one of those magical corners of Tenerife that makes you feel like you've discovered a well-kept secret. Located in the municipality of Arico, near the emblematic Abona lighthouse, this small isolated beach of just 70 meters captivates visitors with its crystal-clear waters and atmosphere of absolute peace. Access requires a walk that, according to regular visitors, is totally worth it for the reward that awaits at the end.

With its golden-toned sand mixed with gravel and rocks, Cueva de la Arena is characterized by its low occupancy level even during high season, making it the perfect refuge for those seeking to disconnect from mass tourism. The coast remains surprisingly clean, and many take advantage to combine a refreshing swim with walks around the area before enjoying a well-deserved snack at nearby dining options. An authentic Canarian natural paradise for lovers of pristine and peaceful beaches.
