Playa de Martiánez

Playa de Martiánez stands as one of Puerto de la Cruz's most iconic spots, a black volcanic sand beach that captivates surfers and seaside strollers alike. Located right at the start of the coastal promenade, next to the famous Lago Martiánez complex designed by César Manrique, this beach offers an authentic Canarian coastal experience with stunning Atlantic Ocean views.

The vigorous waves make it a paradise for surf enthusiasts, though calmer areas near the pool complex provide safer swimming spots for those preferring gentler waters. The dramatic volcanic rock formations create a striking landscape, perfect for watching the ocean and feeling the sea breeze. Along the seafront avenue, you'll find street artists, portrait painters, and a selection of bars and restaurants where you can taste authentic Canarian cuisine while watching the spectacular waves crash against the black rocks. A place with true maritime soul that captures Tenerife's genuine coastal essence.
