Places in Spain - Tenerife - Puerto de la Cruz

 

Puerto de la Cruz is located on the north-western coast of Tenerife and is one of the largest resorts on this side of the island. The resort is well established and offers excellent family holidays. The range of hotels is extensive from 2-5 stars. Many of the hotels are located just a few metres from the beach.

The main beach at Puerto de la Cruz is of black sand. There are toilet facilities, a couple of small bars/restaurants and easy access from the main road. The beach gardens are a lovely walk with tropical plants and stoned walls. The beach is flanked by rocky outcrops which shade it from the elements somewhat.

There are a couple of smaller beaches, all of black sand. The beach to the left, at Punta Brava is smaller, rockier and the sea tends to be a little rougher. To the right of the main beach, after the small fishing harbour is another beach. This is the second largest in the resort and is much rockier.
There are a few Water sports facilities in the resort including several scuba diving schools.

Facilities and attractions in Puerto de la Cruz include, the small castle of San Felipe, a lido type aqua park, the Botanical Gardens and the world famous park; ‘
Loro Parque’. The town has small, narrow streets lined with shops selling everything from typical tourist gifts to local crafts and designer wear. Electrical goods are especially cheap here due to the tax advantages of the island.

 

From Puerto de la Cruz it is easy access to the mountain road that crosses the Pico de Teide, the volcano and national park. The main TF5 motorway also passes through Puerto de la Cruz, giving easy access to both ends of the island.
