The Playa Jardín beach complex was born from the union of three urban coves of black sand that dot the coast of Puerto de la Cruz: Playa del Castillo, Playa del Charcón and Playa de Punta Brava. Although each has its own particular charm, the three beaches are connected by the promenade of Playa Jardín, full of shops and restaurants open at practically any time of the day. © iStock/neirfy
