Sand and Sun at Playa de Los Cristianos

About Playa de Los Cristianos
Los Cristianos is a popular holiday destination for people from all over the world, who come to enjoy its pristine beaches and exciting nightlife. The town was once just an unimportant fishing village that has now been transformed into one of Spain's most modern resort towns with plenty going on in every corner.
The Playa de los Cristianos is one of the first beaches that tourists began to visit in the 1960s. It's located near Arona, and visitors find it blends seamlessly into this marine environment with its calm waves as well as the golden sand . There are also small fishing boats anchored at bay nearby which makes it all more authentic than most other beaches you'll see on your trip. It has everything anyone could need, services including restaurants serving typical local dishes alongside international food options too.
Playa de los Cristianos is the main beach in Los Cristianos, which is partially covered with artificial fine grained sand. The beach is also surrounded by smaller and popular beach resorts.
The harbour is great for swimming and offers protection for swimmers because it ensures the water is shallow. You can rent sun lounges or shaded areas to lay out in if it is too sunny. There are also showers available so that you don't have salt stains on your skin after coming back from a dip.
One of the beaches along the playa is the Los Cristianos which is a popular resort situated in the sunny south of Tenerife, next to Playa de las Américas. The towns have merged so much over recent years that your average tourist wouldn't be able to tell where one town ends and another begins.
Playa de Los Cristianos is one of the most child-friendly beaches in all Spain. The sand and water are pristine, there's an extensive play area for kids close by as well! Water sports lovers will be satisfied with what they find at Playa Las Vistas- it offers more adrenaline than your average beach scene thanks to its powerful waves that make it thrilling even if you're not into surfing or scuba diving (or both!). For those looking for some peace without any action but still want access to plenty of amenities including restaurants & hotels then head over north instead.
The Beach
The beaches of Playa Los Cristianos are lined with golden sand imported from the Sahara desert, and provide a serene setting for sunbathing. A northern section provides an even more pristine experience: it has been fashioned into smooth black granite that stretches as far away from shoreline as possible without being interrupted by waves or depths in order to create one uninterrupted stretch where you can enjoy your afternoon sipping on ice cold drinks while listening (perhaps singing) some tunes under skies filled will stars at night-time.
Activities
Kayaking - You can't beat the thrill of exploring five different species in their natural habitats! So skip those boring Zoo exhibits and go on this kayaking excursion instead. You'll be surrounded by dolphins, rays - even turtles- all while taking some time out for snorkeling too...what's not to love?
Stand Up Paddleboarding & Snorkeling - Los Cristianos is a wonderful place to visit if you're looking for adventure. Next door there's the natural monument of Guaza Mountain with its cliff and local fauna such as seagulls, crabs etc., which are all easily accessible by snorkel! They have sup-certified guides who can take your group out on boat tours where they'll show off marine life up close while also teaching about their environment.
