Playa de Punta Larga is Candelaria's welcoming embrace to the Atlantic, a practical and pleasant urban beach for residents and visitors alike. The sand, a characteristic deep black, warms quickly under the Tenerife sun, making it an ideal spot to lay out your towel and soak up the rays. The beach's location on the main seafront means you're always just steps away from the town's amenities.
