Playa de Torviscas in Costa Adeje (Tenerife): tips + photos

By Elisa, Region Lovers | August 22, 2024 | no intrusive ads, no sponsored content, just some affiliate links - if you use them, we get a small commission (read more)

Playa de Torviscas in Costa Adeje is a continuation of the long-established Playa de Fañabé. This beach is particularly family-friendly, thanks to its many facilities and central location. Close to the resort’s lively town center, it’s surrounded by all the necessary amenities. She treated us to a memorable sunset!

Find all our practical advice and photos to help you spend a pleasant moment at the water’s edge.

Is Costa Adeje’s Playa de Torviscas worth it?

Yes, it’s a small, well-equipped city beach that’s well worth a visit. In fact, it features in our article on the most beautiful beaches in Costa Adeje. Between 2 swims, your children can play in the playground on the promenade. The sound of the waves will lull you to sleep as you lounge on a deckchair facing the ocean. When we visited, the sky was overcast but striking! It lies between Playa de la Pinta and Playa de Fañabé.

Type of beach

Sand or no sand?

The floor of Playa de Torviscas is made up of fine black sand. For your information, you’ll see a marked mound of sand on one side of the beach. It separates the tanning area from the water. The step is quite high.

Swimming conditions and supervision

Swimming conditions are very good. The descent into the water is gentle and gradual, allowing younger swimmers to learn at their own pace. The beach is also supervised.

Access by car and parking

To reach Playa de Torviscas, you’ll have to head into Costa Adeje town center. During busy periods, you’re bound to encounter traffic jams, especially in the shopping malls. If you prefer to avoid potential traffic jams, choose a parking lot outside the city center. Alternatively, we recommend parking in the Puerto Colón Port parking lot, a 10-minute walk from the beach.

OUR TIPS TO RENT A CAR IN Tenerife
  • Compare prices on our preferred platform: DiscoverCars – one of the best rated sites.
  • If you’re planning to explore the mountains, don ‘t take the smallest cars. A more powerful engine will be more comfortable.
  • But don’t take too big a car either, as some roads are narrow.
  • There’s a lot of demand and it’s an island, so book early.

Access from the parking lot

From the Puerto Colón Port parking lot, just walk north for around 10 minutes to reach the beach. Along the way, you’ll pass the Club Nautique de Puerto Colón and the Playa de la Pinta. Walk up the red flagstone walkway in our photo.

With children

This beach will appeal to families, as it is well equipped and supervised. We spotted a playground on the promenade that is sure to please children in search of entertainment. Water sports are also available, including pedal-boating with an integrated slide that lets you glide directly into the water. Alternatively, take your little ones on a dolphin and whale-watching cruise from the harbor, just a 10-minute walk away – see prices, photos and availability.

Naturism

It is not possible to practice naturism on this beach.

Eating out

There are numerous restaurants, snack bars and bars all along the beach. It’s just north of the city center, with a few good culinary addresses in the vicinity. We particularly recommend Restaurant Almar Tenerife, less than 15 minutes’ walk away. We were seduced by its exquisite seafood cuisine and exceptional setting!
