Frequently asked questions

Is there a lifeguard at Arenal?

Not recorded. The MITECO registry lists no lifeguard at Arenal, which in practice means swimming unsupervised unless San Cristóbal de La Laguna council adds cover in July and August. The nearest beach with a recorded lifeguard service is La Arena (Tacoronte), 11 km away in a straight line.

How do you get to Arenal?

MITECO records that you get to Arenal easily on foot, but no parking is recorded.

Is Arenal a good beach for children?

Arenal has no children's area on record. Check the flag at Arenal on the day: conditions change with the wind.

Does Arenal have a Blue Flag?

No. Arenal is not listed with a Blue Flag in the MITECO data. The nearest Blue Flag beach is San Juan (San Cristóbal de La Laguna), 1 km away in a straight line. Not having one does not make Arenal worse: the award certifies services and water quality, not scenery.
