Puerto de Santiago to Playa de Las Arenas Tenerife Black Sand Beach Walk & Ocean Views

In this video I walk from Puerto de Santiago to Playa de Las Arenas in Tenerife, following the scenic coastal promenade with stunning Atlantic views from above before descending to the famous black volcanic beach. Puerto de Santiago offers a quieter alternative to the busier resorts of Las Americas and Los Cristianos. The elevated walkway provides panoramic views of the ocean and dramatic cliffs before reaching Playa de Las Arenas, one of the most iconic black sand beaches in Tenerife. The beach is volcanic and beautifully dark, absorbing the heat of the sun — something you quickly learn if you forget your shoes. Surrounded by seafood restaurants, cafés and local shops, it’s lively but not overcrowded, making it a perfect balance between relaxation and activity. I also share a personal reflection: I lived here for five months two years ago, and what I remember most is the view from a high balcony… and the relentless sunshine. So much sun that, believe it or not, I occasionally missed the clouds. This walk captures the real atmosphere of Tenerife’s west coast — ocean waves, black sand, warm winter climate and everyday island life. If you enjoy relaxed walking tours, authentic Tenerife locations and honest reflections about island living, this one is for you. 🌍 Discover more walks and reflections at: http://www.blomblaum.com Blomblaum is about contrast — sun and clouds, calm and movement, silence and life.
