Playa de Las Teresitas is a man-made beach with white sand, situated to the north of San Andrés village in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Tenerife, Spain.
Initially, the beach area primarily comprised stones and rocks, accompanied by a narrow section of black sand. It was segmented into three distinct sections, each with its own name: Tras la Arena, the part closest to San Andrés; Los Moros in the middle; and the area bounded by the Las Teresas ravine.
In the middle of the beach, there used to be a private spa, and the area was popular for surfing. Beyond the beach, there were farms and orchards cultivating bananas, mangoes, tomatoes, and avocados, which constituted a significant portion of the town’s income during that period.
Furthermore, there’s a significant paleontological site from the Quaternary period, specifically a submarine reservoir within a submerged beach covering an area of approximately 400 square meters. This reservoir holds fossilized mollusks, some of which are endemic to the region.
