El Medano is a quiet town close to the airport in the south of Tenerife. It has kept its traditional allure in spite of the tourist development in the last years. Specially appreciated by kitesurfers, the beach in the center of the town extends far beyond the last building. And this area is almost unspoiltlt.
El Medano is very close to motorway TF-1 that runs along the east coast of the island from Santa Cruz to Adeje. Not far from the airport, exit 22 towards road TF-64 takes you directly to the town. But instead of continuing to the town centre, get to the nudist section of the beach it is better to take road TF-643 to the west and park near hotel Playa Sur Tenerife, the last building.
The beach
From the town center to the foot of Montaña Roja, El Medano beach is a strip of golden sand aproximately 1 km long and 50 m wide (much wider in the west end). In the east half, it is an urban beach, with a beach promenade in front of hotels or restaurants.
To the west, the promenade ends just before the last hotel. From there on, the beach is only surrounded by the rocky terrain that leads to Montaña Roja and La Tejita beach.
This section is totally open to the waves and the wind, which makes it a perfet spot to practice sports like windsurf or even kitesurf.

Facilities
There are any kind of tourist facilities, but only in the urban section.
Nudism
Even if most people prefers La Tejita (only 200 m away) to sunbathe in the nude, it i perfectly possible to do it in the west end. You will usually find very few people sunbathing there (naked or not), but it is quite normal to share the beach with an occasional fisherman, a few people looking for the best waves, or somebody that has decided not to follow the direct way to Montaña Roja.
