7) Las Lajas Forrest Park

Mount Teide

Just before you reach the famous Mt. Teide National Park, you will see a sign post for this stunning park area situated in the middle of the Forrest. Here you will find picnic areas and BBQ spots. There is a children’s park, a football pitch and some nice walking trails through the trees. There are toilets on site as well. Make sure you take a change of clothes or shoes with you, as the ground up here is pretty dusty and dirty.

8) Alcala Sea Front

Alcala

The seafront on the West Coast of Tenerife is absolutely perfect for families. The sleepy fishing village of Alcala boasts an impressive promenade walkway lined with parks, football pitches and basketball courts. It is a flat walkway and there are rock pools and small beaches the whole way along. There are a few bars and restaurants in Alcala as well as a beach bar at the far end of the promenade. Here you will also find a public toilet. If you are feeling active you can now walk even further, all the way to the resort of Playa La Arena. Be prepared if you do this longer walk. If you have a buggy, there is one point where you will have to carry it over a small rocky area.

It is also worth mentioning that if you have small children, there is no public toilet once you leave Alcala until you get to the next resort of Playa La Arena. The walk is beautiful and quiet and the promenade walkway itself is perfect for push chairs or bikes.

9) Fanabe Beach Front

This popular promenade area is lined with bars, shops and restaurants. The beaches are perfect and family friendly. There is a small mini golf area and even trampolines. There are two small parks on the sea front so this area is a winner by day or night with families in the South of Tenerife.
