La Tejita — eastern naturist shore
El Médano, Tenerife, Canary Islands
A spacious, windswept beach beside Montaña Roja, with naturist use concentrated at its quieter eastern end. The reddish volcanic cone creates a memorable backdrop to the open sand and Atlantic shore.
Nudity policy
Recognised naturist eastern section
Granadilla’s municipal service lists La Tejita as a nudist beach. Official island tourism specifically places the quieter naturist bathing area at the eastern end nearest Montaña Roja; the beach is shared rather than nude-only.
The nearby campsites, shops, roads and the rest of the nature reserve are not covered by the beach’s naturist description.
Facilities
No facilities on site.
No listed facilities are confirmed on the naturist shore. Approach parking and nearby services are described separately.
Access & visiting
Public beach access without membership, a beach-admission ticket or an overnight booking. Any parking, lounger or refreshment charge is separate; current access notices, closures and sea warnings take precedence.
Age & supervision
This is a shared public shoreline with no published minimum admission age or adult-only naturist enclosure in the checked visitor guidance. Children need adult supervision; the naturist boundaries and access conditions described below still apply.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Public coast throughout the year, subject to sea conditions, weather and local access restrictions; check current notices before travelling.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Take the TF-643 between El Médano and Los Abrigos and use a signed La Tejita beach access. The protected beach cannot be reached directly by car; several footpaths lead down from roadside parking.
Parking
Tenerife Tourism confirms more than 100 approach parking spaces beside the El Médano–Los Abrigos road. These are outside the naturist sand and not a camping entitlement; follow present signs and parking restrictions.
Finding the naturist area
From the road, follow an established beach path; the tourism office describes about five minutes to the shore. Once on the sand, head east towards Montaña Roja, beyond the busier main arrival areas, to the quieter naturist section identified by official island tourism.
Where naturism applies
Naturist use is associated with the eastern beach closest to Montaña Roja, not a surveyed line across the entire kilometre-long shore. Stay on authorised paths through the reserve and do not climb or cross restricted dune and vegetation areas to reach a secluded spot.
- This exposed beach is often windy and has moderate surf; heed flags and current sea warnings.
- The nearby campsite’s showers and café are separate businesses, not confirmed facilities on the naturist shore.
- Bring water and suitable footwear for the protected-area approach.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
