Playa del Camisón

Introduction

Welcome to a dreamy corner in the south of Tenerife, a place where the sun kisses the golden sand and the turquoise waters invite calm: Playa del Camisón. Strategically located in the vibrant municipality of Arona, this beach is certainly one of those gems that make us return again and again. It is not the largest beach on the island, nor perhaps the wildest, but its charm lies precisely in its perfect balance between comfort, natural beauty, and a serene atmosphere that makes it the ideal destination for a wide variety of visitors.

When we think of a beach getaway, we often visualize a place where worries dissipate with the sea breeze and where time seems to slow down. Playa del Camisón more than fulfills this expectation. Protected by breakwaters that gently embrace the coast, its waters remain remarkably calm, making it a sanctuary for the little ones and an oasis of peace for adults. It's the kind of beach where we can watch children splashing safely while we relax on a sun lounger, listening to the soft murmur of the waves. It's a complete experience that combines ease of access with scenic beauty, all framed by the unmistakable eternal spring-like climate of the Canary Islands.

How to Get to Playa del Camisón

Getting to Playa del Camisón is really simple, given its privileged location in one of the most developed tourist areas of Tenerife. For those staying in the nearby hubs of Playa de Las Américas or Los Cristianos, the beach is easily accessible on foot, allowing us to enjoy a pleasant seafront promenade before diving into its waters. The promenade, completely flat and well-maintained, is ideal for baby strollers or people with reduced mobility, offering spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean.

If we prefer the comfort of public transport, the TITSA bus lines connect Arona and its surroundings with the rest of the island. There are several bus stops in the vicinity of the beach, just a few minutes' walk away. For those who opt for a car, finding parking can be a bit more challenging, especially in high season. However, there are paid parking lots in the surrounding area, as well as some regulated parking zones. Our recommendation is to arrive early if traveling by car, or consider using taxis or ride-hailing services, which are abundant in the area and drop us off practically at the shore. The proximity to hotels and apartments also means that many visitors simply walk from their accommodation, making accessibility one of its strong points.

The Sand and Water

One of the most captivating aspects of Playa del Camisón is, without a doubt, its fine, golden sand. It's a delight for the feet, soft to the touch and perfect for building sandcastles or simply lying down and feeling the warmth of the sun. Unlike some volcanic beaches in Tenerife with darker or rockier sand, here we find an expanse of light sand that invites rest and play. This quality of sand, along with the general cleanliness of the beach, contributes enormously to the relaxing experience we seek.

But if the sand is a plus, the water is the true star. The waters of Playa del Camisón are exceptionally calm and crystal clear, a characteristic that makes it stand out. Thanks to the presence of strategically located breakwaters, the beach is protected from currents and stronger waves, creating a kind of natural pool. This makes it an ideal place for safe bathing, even for less experienced swimmers and, of course, for children. Underwater visibility is often very good, allowing us to glimpse small fish and local marine life if we venture to snorkel. The water temperature, mild year-round, invites a refreshing dip in any season, solidifying Playa del Camisón's reputation as an aquatic paradise.
