Vibrant harbour
There might not be many fishing boats dotted around, but the harbour and marina are still at the core of Los Cristianos. This is where you can hop on a glass-bottomed vessel or cast off on a whale-watching trip. You can even take a ferry to the smaller islands, including La Gomera.
A trio of beaches
A wide, curving expanse of golden sand, Playa de Las Vistas is a beach where you can really stretch out. Wander nearer the middle of town and you’ll clap eyes upon Playa de los Cristianos, while Playa Callao is smaller and more secluded. Its rockier parts offer a perfect suntrap.
