Coast and Beaches

358 km to shoot

In order to carry out professional film-making, television, video and photography activities on the coast and beaches of Tenerife, you need to apply for a permit from the Department of Public Works, Housing, and Mobility, General Directorate of Coasts and Management of the Canary Maritime Space of the Regional Government of the Canary Islands.

The authorization request must be submitted through  this procedure on the electronic headquarters of the Government of the Canary Islands, and in Spanish. Instructions are provided in the "Permiso de costas" section.

If the production takes place on a protected nature area, you should also apply for a favourable report for filming from the Environment Department of the Island Council of Tenerife (see instructions from the Environment Department here). 

Additionally, the corresponding City Council must be notified regarding activities within the public maritime-terrestrial domain (see City Council instructions here).
