Tenerife has several beaches and coastal stretches where clothing-optional sunbathing is well established. In practice, the most comfortable choices tend to be the places with more space, less family traffic and a slightly more natural setting.

Best-known options

• La Tejita and the edges of the Montana Roja area: One of the easiest and most accepted options, especially if you want space and a less built-up backdrop.
• Playa de las Gaviotas: A north-coast choice with a more secluded feel and a stronger sense of privacy.
• Playa de los Patos: Another north-coast option for travelers comfortable with rougher access and a wilder beach environment.
• Smaller coves away from the main south-coast resort strips: These can work, but they are better treated case by case than assumed.

Practical notes

The usual rule applies: be discreet, read the atmosphere of the beach and do not assume the entire shoreline is clothing-optional just because one section is known for it.
