If you want a relaxing meal for two in a romantic setting while you listen to the waves gently lapping at the seashore, you will find no shortage of bars and restaurants offering exactly this. Families can enjoy memorable meals throughout the daytime and evenings at an endless number of child friendly bars, restaurants or cafes. If you are going all inclusive, you can take advantage of the entertainment at your hotel, alternatively you wont have to venture far to find live music at any number of the popular bars in your resort.
Beaches
Beaches in the popular holiday resorts of Las Americas, Los Cristianos and Fanabe have beautifully soft white sand. The warm crystal clear waters gently roll in enticing you to paddle or even swim. If you are prepared to explore the island you will discover hidden coves and spectacular scenery. Tenerife is a volcanic island and because of this you will find some of the beaches in the less touristic areas, still have black sand.
Shopping
Many of the resorts have a modern shopping centre where you will find designer brands. Locally made goods can often be found on the outdoor markets which can be found in resorts around the south of the island. The largest market though is in Santa Cruz. Supermarkets are commonplace with Mercadona and Hiper Trebol being some of the most popular places for locals and tourists to shop.
