Essential Information: When you go and what you’ll need
Puerto de la Cruz is one of the most elegant resorts on the island and a great place to visit for those that enjoy delicious restaurants, stunning architecture and rich history. The pretty old town is full of Canarian character, complete with a fishing port, cobbled alleyways and colonial style cafes and bars while the quaint harbour nearby makes for a picturesque evening by the water.
Pretty Playa de Jardin
Playa de Jardin is the resort's main beach and has a stretch of stunning black sands leading into the sparkling ocean. It’s surrounded by César Manrique’s incredible creation of tropical gardens, waterfalls, sun terraces and pretty buildings, which makes it one of the most unique beaches on Tenerife.
Stylish Bars & Jazz Shows
For great nights out head to Calle Agustin de Bethencourt for its stylish bars and clubs with interesting music. The small street has a nice local vibe which is great for visitors who love authentic live music. If you're feeling lively, Irish bar Molly Malone’s near the harbour and Las Tejas Verdes on Puerto Viejo are the best options to try or enjoy live jazz sessions at Abaco, housed in a 18th century mansion!
Head Out to Sea
If you like to be on the water, Puerto de la Cruz has plenty of boat trips leaving its harbour every day. Marvel at the magnificent marine life on a Dolphin and Whale watching catamaran tour, sink below the surface in a yellow submarine or enjoy an afternoon excursion on a glass-bottom boat. Don't forget to pop on a snorkelling mask and revel in the crystal-clear waters.
