What are the beaches like at Puerto de la Cruz?
Fabulous! With two beaches central to Puerto de la Cruz to choose from, plus a further 3 more a short drive away. The two closest to Puerto de la Cruz are: • Playa Jardin: close to the resort, wide, crescent shaped beach with dark volcanic sand. • Martianez beach and lido: the end of the beach nearest the lido has a breakwater which prevents the ocean swell reaching the beach and so makes for calm swimming conditions, most of the time. At the other end, towards the cliffs, is an area popular with surfers and body boarders where there is no barrier to break the waves. • The other three are: El Socorro – a surf beach, plus two rather isolated beaches – El Bollulo and El Pozo. • Family holidays in Puerto de la Cruz: Most of Travel Republic’s 4* and 5* resorts in Puerto de la Cruz have children’s swimming pools, kids’ clubs and entertainment. The resort itself has water parks and attractions such as Loro Parque (Parrot World). Don’t let the name put you off, it has a lot more than just par
