This human-sized village is known for its many beaches: the Pelada, Playa Grande or Los Balos and especially the Tejita, one of the largest beaches in this part of Tenerife. This white sandy beach can be dangerous for swimming due to strong currents. But this is also what makes El Medano one of the most popular spots for surfers and windsurfers. Competitions are held there every year, including the World Windsurfing Championship. Moreover, this arid environment is the only place in Tenerife where you can see desert birds such as the long-legged Cusiorus cursor.
