About this site
Playa de las Teresitas is a beach on the northeast coast of Tenerife, just outside Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands, known for its imported golden sand brought from the Sahara and set behind a breakwater near the village of San Andres. The dive site here sits over reef and reaches a maximum depth of around 12 metres, making it a beginner-friendly spot along this volcanic Atlantic shoreline. Divers have also reported octopus among the reef structure.
