Playa Jardín Complex

The Playa Jardín Beach Complex, which consists of Playa Jardín, Playa Chica and Punta Brava, is one of Puerto de la Cruz’s most emblematic attractions. Designed by the artist César Manrique, these beaches meld seamlessly into a beautiful environment filled with gardens boasting lush local plant life, waterfalls, and rocky caves.

The beaches are right by the famous Loro Parque theme park and have been fitted with breakwaters to make your swim a more leisurely experience. If you venture beyond the breakwaters, do take care as the waves can get quite fierce.

The beaches and the surroundings are equipped with all of the amenities you need for the perfect stay. You will get to play with the waves, sunbathe, go shopping and sample some lovely Canarian and international dishes.
