This location in Tenerife wasn't the most picturesque one I've ever seen. The scenery was a bit drab and the atmosphere was a bit dull. Not the kind of beach you'd want to spend a day at.

This spot is conveniently located nearby, and it's a great spot for families! The pebble-strewn shoreline is perfect for playing, and the nearby restaurants provide a great opportunity to refuel after a fun day. And the kids will love the children's park, which our own kids (ages 5.5, 3.5, and 2) have visited multiple times.

Playa Las Galletas may be small, but it sure is lively! There's no real beach to speak of, but the waves add to the atmosphere. The locals make it a great spot to grab a bite to eat or a drink, and you can't beat the Canarian vibes. It's the perfect place for a night out.
