Beautiful beaches invite you to swim in the Atlantic Ocean.
There are beaches for all tastes: sandy or pebble, in the city or in wild locations.
Some beaches are only accessible by foot, so you can combine hiking and beach time if you prefer.
Keep in mind that the beaches on the north coast have strong waves and can be very dangerous. It’s best to choose a beach protected from the waves in the south of the island (Valle Gran Rey, Playa de Santiago, or San Sebastián).
Santiago Beach is located in the city, while Tapahuga, Playa del Medio, Chinguarime, and La Cantera beaches are remote. The last two are only accessible on foot.
