Live Cam
Playa de las Teresitas sits just outside the fishing village of San Andrés, on the northeastern edge of Tenerife. It is the island's famous golden beach, a long pale crescent backed by rows of palm trees and sheltered by an offshore breakwater that keeps the water unusually calm. This camera looks out over the sand, the swimmers and the dark volcanic hills behind.
Why Las Teresitas? Most of Tenerife's shoreline is black volcanic sand, which makes this pale golden stretch stand out immediately. The breakwater turns the Atlantic into something closer to a lagoon, so the water stays flat and blue while the rest of the coast churns. Add the palm line and the steep Anaga ridges rising behind, and the view is unmistakably Canarian.
Playa de las Teresitas highlights: As you enjoy the live view, be sure to look out for:
- Palm-Lined Sand: Rows of palms run the length of the beach, throwing long shadows across the golden sand as the day moves on.
- The Sheltered Water: Watch how flat the sea stays inside the breakwater, with swimmers and paddlers out even when the wider Atlantic looks restless.
- Anaga Backdrop: The dark, folded ridges of the Anaga massif rise behind the bay and change colour dramatically with the light.
Beyond the Beach: San Andrés sits at the near end of the bay, a small village known for its seafood restaurants and narrow streets. Behind it the road climbs into the Anaga Rural Park, a landscape of laurel forest, ridge walks and tiny hamlets. Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the island capital, lies a short drive down the coast.
Thanks to the team behind Tenerife Resorts for keeping this camera pointed at Las Teresitas and sharing it freely. Maintaining a coastal stream in salt air takes real effort, and viewers around the world get a daily window onto one of Tenerife's best loved beaches because of it.
Tune in to see whether the palms are still or swaying, how busy the sand looks today, and what the Atlantic light is doing to the Anaga hills.
