Puerto de la Cruz's climate allows for a variety of water-based activities. Surfers congregate on Playa Martianez, a natural beach where the huge waves of the Atlantic Ocean prevail. But the main surf schools are located along the entire coast. The most positive reviews are collected by Escuela Atlantik Surf Tenerife and La Marea Surf School. They offer rentals of all the equipment you need. Instructors work with both adults and young surfers.
There are also two diving schools in town. Teide Divers offers not only dive instruction but also trips to Teide Volcano, Spain's highest point. The second school, Dive Center ATLANTIK, gathers highly controversial reviews from tourists and focuses solely on diving. But the remains of shipwrecks and underwater volcanic landscapes overshadow the rough edges of the service.
Wakeboarding, wakesurfing, waterskiing and parasailing aren't as popular at the resort. You can find paragliding, though. More relaxed games and water activities are offered on all of the town's beaches, particularly the man-made Lago Martianez. Boat and catamaran excursions with fishing are also organized.
