Located north of Santa Cruz, this beach was extended in 1973 by bringing in sand from the Sahara desert and palm trees for shade.
This extensive beach, one and a half kilometres long, has been planted with Canary Island palms, coconut palms and Canary Island bean caper.
It is located near the fishing village of San Andrés, with many fish and sea-food restaurants, just seven kilometres north of Santa Cruz. It attracts fairly large numbers of people, especially in summer.
The beach has large car parking areas, free showers, kiosks, toilets, telephone boxes, a restaurant and Red Cross post.
There are also sun beds and rowing boats for hire.
