Practical info
Tips
- Las Galgas is very small, so think of it as a place for a swim and a short stay on the sand, not a full beach day with space to spread out. For comparison, La Caleta in Adeje has a pebble beach 60 metres long and 20 metres wide, and La Enramada next to it is 325 metres long. If you want a longer stretch of sand, read the best beaches in Tenerife and see Playa del Duque. The tourist portal lists the Puerto Colón marina at 11 km from the beach, so the port is not next to the sand: a boat outing means a drive or a taxi first. Playa Paraíso is a base more than a destination, so choose your hotel for the area: where to stay in Costa Adeje compares the options, and Costa Adeje and Callao Salvaje are other places in Adeje worth a look. The hotel search on this page is set to Playa Paraíso.
