El Medano
The Granadilla coast has the island's best beaches, of fine golden sand.
El Médano is a small, quiet, family holiday resort, with the longest beach in Tenerife (2 Km) and shallow seas. There is direct access from the TF-1 motorway.
The beach has changing rooms and showers in the square by the beach. There is a kiosk and many bars and restaurants in the area, as well as a tourist information office (Tel 922 176002).
Windsurfing
El Medano and El Cabezo Bay and beach is a well known windsurfing hotspot amongst the windsurfing scene - it's a World Cup Windsurfing beach this one.
This bohemian resort - if you could call it a resort - it feels more like a bustling Spanish village than a resort.
It's not an exaggeration to say that El Medano really represents where it's at as far as windsurfing (and some kite surfing is concerned).
The spot is particularly favoured by intermediate and advanced windsurfers - and advanced kite surfers who can deal with dodging the many windsurfers and the rocks positioned at the end of the bays.
