Adeje

PLAYAS DE TROYA

El Barranco del Rey is the boundary between the boroughs of Adeje and Arona. There are several golden-sand beaches along this stretch of coast, like Cuevitas and Playas de Troya, which are very popular for their dry, sunny climate.

They have changing rooms and showers. There are many bars, restaurants and terraces along the pedestrian promenade that has been built along this stretch of coast.

Two beaches in this area, officially known as Troya I and Troya II, were awarded the blue flag by the European Environmental Education Foundation (FEE). This is an award given to beaches that comply with Community regulations in matters of cleanliness of coastal waters and other requisites.

Sun beds, pedal boats, pleasure craft and wet bikes can be rented.

Several water sports are practised, like wet biking, parasailing, etc., and there are several diving clubs. There is one stretch of the coast that is suitable for surfing.
