The 5 Best Secluded Beaches on Tenerife, Spain

Tenerife is one of the most popular holiday destinations within Europe. With its fantastic combination of year round warm weather, gorgeous sandy beaches and vibrant day and night entertainment; it comes as no surprise why holidaymakers return to the island year after year. The beaches on Tenerife are frequently filled with beach lovers whether they are basking in the sun, partaking in the many water sports activities that are on offer, or simply having a bite to eat in one of the many cafes that can be found along side the beaches.

However, a holiday in Tenerife does not have to be about busy and noisy beaches. There are quieter beaches with space to breath and room to have fun. If you are planning a holiday in Tenerife and would like to have a relaxing and more peaceful experience, here are our choices for the 5 best secluded beaches on Tenerife.

1. Playa de Las Gavitos

Playa de Las Gavitos is situated beyond Las Teresitas and can be found on the road between San Andrs and Iguste se San Andrs. The beach is a black sand cove which provides the perfect setting for those who enjoy water sports but are looking to enjoy these on a quieter beach. There are plenty of kiosks here which can provide food and drinks, or simply some shelter from the hot sun, but families must be aware that the beach is popular with many nudists due to its remote location and so may not be suitable for those who embarrass easily!

2. Playa del Duque

The area of Playa del Duque is one of the most exclusive areas within Tenerife, newly built on the Costa Adeje. Due to its exclusivity, the beach is very well maintained and is known for being one of the quietest beaches on the island.
There are plenty of facilities here such as cafes and bars so you will be able to enjoy a bite to eat or a refreshing drink here in peace and quiet. The area is perfect for those who are looking to get away from the busy atmosphere found in other resort areas and is a popular location for holidaymakers who have come to Tenerife to relax rather than to sample the vibrant nightlife.

3. Playa del la Tejita

Located West of El Medano beach, Playa del la Tejita is the perfect beach for those who love wide-open spaces and the feeling of isolation from other beach lovers. The beach often experiences high winds so you may find a few windsurfers here from time to time, and a small take away caf and bar which is situated at the Montana Roja end of the beach. However, there is also a nudist area at the Montana Roja end and also on small beach situated near the caf. With this in mind its a good idea to explore your surroundings here before settling down for the day.

4. El Bullullo

El Bullullo, situated on the North Coast, is one of the many volcanic sanded beaches on Tenerife. The currents here can be quite strong and dangerous, which is one of the main reasons why the beach is often quite quiet, but if you are looking to sunbathe rather than swim or partake in water sports, this is a great beach for you.

However, due to its seclusion, there are no sun umbrellas available and not many areas in which to find shade, so its imperative that you bring your own sun equipment when visiting this beach. There is a bar situated nearby for food and refreshments.

5. Playa de los Patos

Playa de los Patos, also located on the North Coast, is another black sand beach. It is extremely secluded and un-spoilt, which means you are able to appreciate the beach in all of its natural glory. However, take note that the beach has no visitor facilities at all. The beach also experiences very strong winds so it is not always safe to swim in the sea. Due to its isolated location it is another favorite beach for nudists.

The great thing about Tenerife is that whether you are looking to enjoy some water sport activities, or simply lie back and relax in the sun, there will be a beach to suit your requirements close by. There are secluded beaches all over the island so if you are unable to get to the 5 beaches we have suggested above just ask the locals where they would go.

5 Best Nude Beaches In US

Thanks to the scantiness of modern swimwear, many beaches in the U.S. seem only a small step away from a nudist colony, but the experience for first-time nude beachgoers is often still shocking.

If you’re looking to ease your way into the naturalist lifestyle, nudist resorts and topless beaches are available that offer a slightly less adventurous experience. However, our top five best nude beaches are the “Full Monty,” so proceed with caution!

While many of the world’s best nude beaches are located outside the United States, there are several beaches across the nation that encourage visitors to bare all. However, not all of these nudist havens are created equal.

Whether you’re looking to get an even tan, meet people who share your naturalist values, or just let it all hang out, these are America’s top five best nude beaches.

America’s Best Nude Beach No. 5 – Black’s Beach – San Diego

Who says size doesn’t matter? Located between La Jolla and Torrey Pines, Black’s Beach is the largest nude beach in North America and a popular destination for surfers and naturalists.

Whether you’re looking to ride a big wave or just even out your tan, this nude beach is known for being safe and clean.

Nestled against high rock cliffs on the San Diego coastline, Black’s Beach is deceptively intimate. However, nude newbies beware, the massive waves and relaxed atmosphere draw large crowds, so be prepared to have an audience.

Also be careful to watch for signs at Black’s Beach, because not all areas of this sandy hot spot are nudist-friendly.

America’s Best Nude Beach No. 4 – Little Beach – Maui, Hawaii

If you’re looking for a place to bare all in America’s 50th state, Little Beach at Makena is the place to go.

While nudity is not generally allowed on Hawaiian beaches, the courts have agreed to look the other way in the case of Little Beach, making it Maui’s unofficial clothing-optional destination. This beautiful strip of sand was a favorite of the hippie population during the 1960s and remains a popular destination for naturalists from all over the United States.

The swimming and snorkeling are reported to be sensational at this popular sunbathing spot. However, Little Beach is inaccessible by car, so be prepared to park at Makena (Big) Beach, and hoof it from there.

Another insider tip: Take your valuables with you or leave them at home, as theft from cars is common at Big Beach.

America’s Best Nude Beach No. 3 – Gunnison Beach – Sandy Hook, N.J.
New Jersey might not seem like the ideal place to drop your drawers, but the nude beach at Sandy Hook draws up to 5,000 sunbathers on any given summer weekend.

The beach takes its name from Gunnison Battery, a military fortress built by the government in the 1800s. The remains of the battery are still seen today, overlooking the beach. Army soldiers stationed near the battery used the beach for skinny-dipping, and when the beach eventually opened to the public, clothing remained optional.

Because Gunnison Beach remains governed by federal law, it is the only legal nude beach in the state, where nudity on state beaches was banned in 1999.

As an added bonus, if you need a little liquid courage in order to drop trou in front of thousands of strangers, alcohol is also allowed at Gunnison Beach.

America’s Best Nude Beach No. 2 – San Gregorio – San Mateo, California

Another California hot spot, San Gregorio beach is the oldest nude beach in America.

Founded in 1967, this popular nudist destination in San Mateo offers two miles of soft sand and beautiful cave cliffs. Much less populated than some of our other top spots, roughly 100 sunbathers visit San Gregorio on any given summer day.

Because San Gregorio is privately owned, expect a small admission charge. Due to strong surf, swimming is not generally recommended, but other activities are offered, including tide-pooling and surf-fishing. San Gregorio is popular with the gay community, who tend to congregate on the north end of the beach.

Regardless of sexual orientation, nude beach-goers want to avoid straying north of the “Hazardous Surf” sign, which signals the end of the clothing-optional portion of the beach. Past this point, park rangers may cite visitors for nudity.

America’s Best Nude Beach No. 1 – Haulover Beach – Miami
When people think of hot sun, hot sand and hot bods in the U.S., Miami is likely the first location that comes to mind. If you thought a typical Miami beach was hot, then get ready for scorching!

Popular with both nudists and more modestly attired beach-goers, Haulover Beach is known for having soft sands, crystal-clear waters and tons of fabulous amenities.

Due to immense popularity, lifeguards are present to keep visitors safe, and from sunrise to sunset, beach-goers enjoy amenities such as shower stalls, food and drink vendors and barbecue grills.

If catching a tan isn’t your idea of a day at the beach, visitors can keep active with volleyball games and surfing competitions.

There you have it, folks, the top five best nude beaches in America. Wherever your adventures take you, be sure to read up on nudist laws and etiquette, which vary from one beach to the next.
