Canary Island beach transforms with 270,000 tons of imported sand

Playa de las Teresitas in Tenerife has transformed from a black sand beach to a popular destination featuring 270,000 tons of white sand imported from Western Sahara. This artificial beach was created in the 1970s and stretches about 0.8 miles. The beach is known for its striking golden sands and calm waters, thanks to a stone breakwater installed in the late 1960s. It has become the most Instagrammed beach on the island, attracting visitors for its beauty and accessibility. Recent reviews highlight the beach's affordability and amenities, including sunbeds, showers, and lifeguards. Visitors appreciate the clear water and safety features, making it a favored spot for families and those less comfortable in the sea.
