About Melia Salinas beach

Melia Salinas beach is a small and pretty golden white sandy beach. The Melia Salinas hotel is just behind the beach sheltering it from prevailing winds. Entry to the sea is good especially at high tide, at low tide enter to the left side. At low tide there are some underwater boulders and rocks so be a little careful. Swimming and snorkeling are good. Do not swim out too far as there can be lots of Wing Foilers and Windsurfers moving quickly that may not see you.

Local facilities are mainly behind Las Cucharas beach just a few minutes walk along the coast.

The Salinas beach makes for a nice relaxing day out normally peaceful.

There are sun beds with parasols set up on the beach that can be hired for the day. Just lay on the sun bed and the guy will come along for the money. Cost is about 10 euros per day.

All the beaches in Costa Teguise are joined via a beautiful sea front promenade. The promenade stretches from a few hundred meters North of Los Charcos beach all the way South as far as the house used by the King of Spain. The walk from one end of the promenade to the other is around four kilometres passing by all the beaches of Costa Teguise.
