With so much to see and do, why not make Santa Cruz your holiday destination in 2021?
Santa Cruz is home to a dramatic mountainous backdrop and attractive sandy shoreline, and is ideal for holidaymakers looking to get outside and appreciate the island's natural landscape.

Your guide to Santa Cruz holidays

Top attractions
The Museum of Man and Nature has three floors dedicated to the history and nature of the Canary Archipelago, and is a fascinating way to get to know your holiday destination. There is also a Military Museum displaying artefacts of the area’s warfare through history. Both are a great opportunity to get kids interested in history by sneaking some educational visits into your holiday.
The Auditorio de Tenerife is one of the city’s most distinctive and eye-catching buildings. It’s also the place to go if you want to catch a show while on holiday. There are music and theatrical performances to suit many tastes, from classical to comedic. An alternative is the Guimera Theatre, which dates back to 1851 and still stages musicals, plays and operas.
Walking around the city and gazing at the buildings is an attraction in itself – the distinctive architecture makes shops and offices look like works of art. If you somehow find yourself tired of the beach at Playa de Las Teresitas, it may be time to visit the Cesar Manrique Maritime Park. This man-made complex offers multiple swimming pools, fountains, palm trees and places to relax.

Beaches
There are five main beaches in and around Santa Cruz, so you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to fun in the sun. The best place to park yourself on the sand is Las Teresitas. This white sandy beach stretches over one kilometre and is lined with shady palm trees.
El Roque is more suited for families on a holiday in Santa Cruz. The beach is made up of fine, dark sand and the entire beach is surrounded by restaurants and other facilities to keep families fed.
Antequera is for the adventurous beachgoer as it is only reachable by boat or by making a long hike. But when you get to the end of the hike, you will find a piece of paradise as the volcanic sand is a unique part of Tenerife’s landscape.
