Playa Maria Jimenez is part of the large beach of Playa Jardin, but is also considered a separate beach as its borders are separated from other beaches by a stone pass.

However, one issue is the cleanliness of the water itself. The proximity of the port and the city, and the barrier pier all affect the water quality. Despite this, Playa de Las Teresitas is definitely worth a visit.

Playa de Las Americas is named after the resort of the same name, but it's more of a spot for lazy sunbathing than a traditional beach.

In any case, here you can not only swim under the majestic rocks but also go for a swim.

Playa del Castillo is the northern part of the large Playa Jardin beach, which was designed by one of the famous Canarian artists.

Playa del Barranco del Verodal is a poorly equipped beach on the way to La Caleta. It is neat and well-groomed, but has stones and gravel instead of sand. There are no breakwaters on the ocean side, so it can be a bit rough. Overall, it's not the coziest beach.
