La Tejita lie to the south of El Medano separated by Montaña Roja, which is located in the special Red Mountain natural reserve where erosion has carved a cliff about 50 meters high, and whose 170 meters of altitude dominates this coastal area, offering splendid views.

To the east is another volcanic formation of great interest; Montaña Pelada.

This beach sits next to Playa Montaña Roja which has sand as close to natural pale golden that you will find on your holiday to Tenerife. Playa de la Tejita is long and wide. It is usually quiet and is popular with a few windsurfers and kite-boarders due to it often strong breeze. 

There are a few sun loungers for hire at the eastern end of the beach.
