Las Vistas Beach

Las Vistas Beach

Las Vistas is the most well-known beach of Arona because of its waters quality; it's been awarded the blue flag by the Foundation for Environmental Education in Europe (FEEE) all over the years. It's 862,87 meters long and has an atractive promenade where you can simply walk, use it as a bike trail or go shopping and relax after in one of the several cafés, bars and restaurants put aside. That's why thousands of international travellers and first-time vacationers come and go each year.
