The Canary Islands are set off the coast of western Africa, the archipelago consists of 7 islands and 6 islets and is divided into two provinces. At the east, the first one is called Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with 3 islands - Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and the islets. At the west is Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro which form the second province named Santa Cruz de Tenerife.The islands belong to Spain and although part of the European Union, avoid various European custom/duty charges. The Canaries enjoy hot sunny weather all year round, duty free prices and are home to some of the best beaches in Europe.
The purpose of this site is to offer help, advice, information and answers to people coming on holiday to one of the Canary islands - plenty is provided by people who have visited the islands themselves - through the chat on the forums, apartment, restaurant and bar reviews and photos that are sent to me. Of course, there's plenty of information from me for you to look through, especially about my home - Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria, other popular resorts here such as Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas but also about the other Canary islands and their resorts which I visit throughout the year.
It goes without saying that the beaches in Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos are perfect for everything. Huge amount of bars and restaurants to choose from, lifeguards, lots of sunbeds, water-sports and anything else you'd expect from a beach. Very popular, busy beaches.
Playa Jardin - Puerto de la Cruz
Long, man made beach (black sand) split into three sections; a blue-flag beach with bars and restaurants are adjacent. Small breakwater though not the most effective I've ever seen!
El Bullullo - La Orotava
There's a bar by the beach and there are some basic facilities. Nice clean beach but no breakwater..
Playa de Las Teresitas - another man-made, yellow Sahara sand beach. Situated a few miles from Santa Cruz. Popular with the locals, there's a large breakwater protecting this beach making it a great beach for kids. Palm trees help for finding some shade. The adjacent fishing town of San Andres means a great choice in fish restaurants! There's easy parking, showers, public toilets and phones; row boats for hire.

Playa San Marcos - Icod de los Vinos
On the coast by the northern wine-making town of Icod de los Vinos, Playa San Marcos is one of the most picturesque beaches on the island. Very attractive black sand beach.
Playa del Roque - Taganana
Crystal clear waters, dark sand and spectacular views. Its large waves makes this stretch of coast a favourite with surfers. Not far away are two similar beaches - Almáciga and Benijos.
