Los Cristianos beach is in the town of Los Cristianos, in the municipality of Arona, in the south of Tenerife, next to the port of the same name. It has golden sand, is about 345 metres long and 80 metres wide, and its calm waters make it suitable for children. It is an accessible beach, with ramps and walkways for people with reduced mobility, and a sailing school and a diving school are a few minutes' walk away.
