Los Cristianos Tenerife Review
Los Cristianos Tenerife was once just a poor fishing hamlet set in the barren desert like terrain of South Tenerife. It has now been transformed in to a popular tourist destination centred around the harbour and its beaches.
Los Cristainos keeps thousands of holiday makers amused, with plenty to keep the sun seeker very happy and is all devoted to having fun. Los Cristianos is a resort for those who are seeking a beach holiday with all the attractions that go with it.
The suburbs around Los Christanos is full of hotels and apartments blocks.
It is from Los Cristianos harbour that you can take a ferry ride to the island of La Gomera, which lies 28km off the west coast of Tenerife. The trip takes about 40 minutes via the Fred Olsten high speed jet foil, or about 1.5 hours on the ferry to the port of San Sebastian on La Gomera.
Los Cristianos Beaches
Here there is a very well kept beach, Playa los Cristianos, with golden sand imported for the Sahara desert, which is lined with beach beds and parasols. To the north of the harbour walls there is an even better beach with an impressive offshore fountain at Playa de las Vistas, also lined with parasols and with golden yellow sand.
These beaches are lined with an abundance of cafes, restaurants and bars with many serving great fresh seafood straight from the ocean.
Los Cristianos Attractions
In the town behind the beach front are shops selling duty free goods and traditional craft items. There are also many traffic free alleys all full of shops, bars and restaurants.
Once a week there is also a weekly market that attracts coach loads of tourist from around the south of Tenerife.
The harbour at Los Cristianos is buzzing with water activities. You can take a ride on a pleasure boat to watch whales and dolphins, or take a trip on a Pirate Ship for a boozy trip along the coast.

The harbour is home to the fishing boats that catch the fresh fish that keep the restaurants supplied with fresh seafood.
