Playa de las Américas is an ideal starting point for discovering the coast and natural areas of southern Tenerife. In addition to enjoying the beaches located in the town itself, you can easily drive to other coastal areas, fishing villages and hiking routes.
The variety of landscapes makes it possible to combine beach and relaxation days with nature excursions, walks by the sea and outdoor activities.

In Playa de las Américas, you will find some of the best known beaches in southern Tenerife, such as Playa de Troya, Playa del Bobo and Playa Honda. Their location next to the seafront promenade and close to numerous restaurants, shops and leisure options makes them a very convenient choice for enjoying the coast.
