Playa de las Teresitas, Playa del Duque, Playa de las Vistas, and Playa de las Américas around the sheltered stretches are among the best for swimming.
What you want is calm water, easy entry, and a beach that doesn’t fight you the moment you step in. Teresitas is a favourite because the sea is usually more forgiving there.

Playa del Duque is comfortable too, and it has that easy holiday feel where you can swim, dry off, and do nothing for a while.
Some northern beaches are beautiful but rougher, so they’re not the best for a casual swim. If swimming is the main goal, stick to the sheltered south coast.
