Adults Only Tenerife – Buenavista del Norte
Buenavista del Norte is one of the most pristine and tranquil areas of Tenerife, far from mass tourism. This is not a destination for a typical beach holiday: the surroundings only have small, black-sand coves, and the ocean is often too rough for swimming.
