About
Playa La Pinta is the small sheltered beach beside Puerto Colón, built for easy family logistics rather than wild scenery. The harbour keeps the water calmer, restaurants and shops sit a few steps away, and boat trips are close enough to turn a beach stop into a half-day plan.
- Time needed:
- 1-3 hours
- Entry fee:
- Free beach access
- Transport:
- Easy by taxi, local bus or walking from Costa Adeje hotels
- Parking:
- Use Puerto Colón / Costa Adeje parking options
- Best time:
- Morning for calmer water and easier space
- Weather:
- Sheltered compared with exposed beaches
- Setting:
- Puerto Colón family beach
- Best for:
- Calm water, children and resort services
It can get busy and commercial fast, with sellers and sunbeds taking over the mood. Go early for the gentler version: clear water, children paddling, breakfast nearby and the harbour still waking up.

Guest review summary
Commonly mentioned by visitors.
Families like the sheltered Puerto Colón location, calm water and sandy cove feel.
Restaurants, shops, boat trips and promenade life are close enough to make logistics easy.
Morning visits can feel peaceful before the beach fills with sunbeds, sellers and harbour activity.
The beach can get very busy, especially in summer and around the easiest access points.
Street sellers and commercial harbour surroundings reduce the natural-beach atmosphere.
It is best for convenience and young children, not for space, quiet or wild scenery.

In the morning, this beach is perfect for me — peaceful, quiet, with only a few people swimming here and there. The sun is still gentle, not burning down on you, which makes it a really relaxing place to start the day.
During the day though, it’s somewhere I tend to avoid. It gets very busy — probably because people are a bit lazy and don’t want to walk a few hundred meters further, where you can find beaches that are just as beautiful, or even nicer, and almost empty. But that’s just how it is.
That said, it’s still a beautiful spot. Even when it’s crowded, it has its own unique atmosphere that makes it worth seeing.

Nice small beach with lots of Sun beds etc to rent. As per the area lots of bars and shops. As usual plenty of street sellers just smile and say “ no thank you” worked for me! Overall 4**** as I could not see a public toilets !

The beach is lovely and the water is so clear! Only downside is it gets very very busy (i was there in June) and the men/women selling fake bags and offering hair braiding did get on my nerves after a few days. Plenty of restaurants and shops a 30 second walk away.

Easy rather than wild
La Pinta is useful when the plan needs low friction: a swim, lunch nearby and no long drive or difficult approach.

Q&A (4)
Is Playa La Pinta good with children?
Yes. It is one of the easier Costa Adeje choices because the bay is sheltered and services are close.
Was this answer helpful?
Is it quiet?
Not usually. It sits beside Puerto Colón, so expect resort and harbour activity.
Was this answer helpful?
Can I combine it with boat trips?
Yes. Puerto Colón is directly next to the beach, which makes combined harbour and beach plans simple.
Was this answer helpful?
When is the best time?
Morning, before the beach and harbour area become fully busy.
