La Caleta de Adeje — Attraction in Adeje

A real hidden gem of a beach. Absolutely beautiful golden sand and very clean. It's a small hike to get to following a well worn trail through an abandoned Banana plantation, past the cobble beach over to the main beach up over the cliff. It's a fairly easy walk, but you'll need some decent trainers. I wouldn't recommend flip-flops. We parked in the car park at El Puertito paying only 2 Euro for the day. Be careful parking on the road as the police do apparently issue tickets occasionally (well, at least that's what the man at the car park said). Check the tide times as the waves do cover the whole beach leaving only the cliff shelves to lay on at high tide in most parts, but it does go out again quickly. The waves were pretty strong, so not ideal if you aren't a strong swimmer, but it's very well sheltered, with no wind and plenty of natural pools that kids can play in safely. There was a seller with cold drinks when we were there, but no other amenities. The beach is generally naturist with around 50% going au naturel. That includes both men and women, and there's absolutely no creepiness' going on like you get in at some other beaches. It's a very friendly place with good vibes. I highly recommend a visit. Some reviewers have incorrectly added photos from Adeje and other places - rest assured there's no beachside bars and discos here!! Some other reviewers mentioned caves and people with tents...but I think they might be confusing this beach with Hernandez beach, not sure but I didn't...

The Diego Hernández beach is a secluded spot boasting stunning turquoise waters and golden sands, a dream destination for naturists seeking tranquility and natural beauty. The beach, stretching about 100 meters, is divided into two sections: the northern part, frequented by textile beach-goers, and the southern half, reserved for nudists.

There is no direct road access. Visitors need to park at the roundabout at the northern end of Av. de los Acantilados. From there, a 700-1000 meter walk past the golf course fence, descending a moderately steep, rocky hill, will lead you to the beach. There are no lifeguards, toilets, showers, beach bars, sunbeds, or umbrellas. It’s advisable to bring your own beach umbrella if needed. However, a local man sells cold drinks on the southern side.

Although the beach tends to be busier on weekends, it retains its captivating and laid-back atmosphere. You might find naturist sunbathers, yoga enthusiasts, and beachgoers playing ball games. The rhythmic beats from a dreadlocked woman playing a drum and a friendly local offering homemade cookies add to the beach’s unique charm. This beach is ideal for those who appreciate the simplicity and serenity of nature. Whether you're swimming, sunbathing, or practicing naturism, this beach provides a peaceful retreat away from the crowded...

Lovely, much quieter village development about 1 mile north along the beach from north Adeje, which although now clearly geared up for tourism and gated residence areas, has not yot been over-developed to the point of losing some of its former old fishing village charm. The small, very attractive central bay / harbour area has a good selection of restaurants overlooking it and has a certain Cornish feel, whilst 400 metres walk further north along pathways over the barren volcanic headland, the countryside and next bay with small beach are as yet totally undeveloped as far as the eye can see. There is a regular bus service linking the village to the more touristic areas. Taxis too are easily obtained and reasonably priced. A villa, apartment or room in one of the few small to medium sized hotels here, with a car for those wishing to explore further afield, might be the ideal balance for a memorable,...
