We can divide the coast of Arucas into two different stretches. The first is relatively flat and eventless, going from San Andrés to El Puertillo, with several beaches formed by black sand, round stones and gravel; the second, which is much wilder, goes from El Puertillo to Tinocas. It is quite eventful, with a discontinuous and abrupt coastline dominated by cliffs.

These are some of the beaches: Las Fuentes, San Andrés, Playa de Los Enanos, Playa El Peñón, Playa de Quintanilla, Los Marrajos, Las Coloradas, Los Charcones, El Puertillo, Charco Las Palomas and Las Salinas.
