The small village of La Caleta on the south coast of Tenerife is only twenty-five kilometres from Reina Sofia Airport and benefits from a short transfer time. It is an attractive resort offering a relaxing holiday among friendly people. The coastline here is mainly rocky although there is a small shingle beach. Strong swimmers can use the metal ladders found on the rock face to enter and exit the sea. Care must be taken as the water is deep and there can be strong undercurrents. A little way to the south is a good sandy beach near to the hotel Costa Adeje Palace. North of La Caleta is the Playa de Diego Hernandez which is a favourite beach for naturists.
There are a few bars and restaurants mainly around the bay. Most of them are fish restaurants when the produce is fresh from the sea and very good value. Masia del Mar and El Celso are two of the most popular. The nightlife in La Caleta is quiet and centred mainly around the hotels with no all-night venues.
La Caleta has a twenty-seven hole golf course nearby and there are water sports facilities at neighbouring beaches.

One of the attractions of shopping in Tenerife is that it is tax free. Perfume, alcohol, cigarettes, cameras and electronic goods are all considerably cheaper. La Caleta has a limited number of retailers selling everyday essentials, gifts and souvenirs. Neighbouring Playa de las Americas has a wide variety of shops and boutiques and also a market.
La Caleta has a number of restaurants providing wide ranging menus catering for most tastes. Along the sea front there are some excellent fish restaurants serving dishes made from the freshest of ingredients. Typical Canarian food is the spicy mojo sauce and the salty new potatoes that are boiled in sea water before being baked. Fish features prominently on menus and is often served with the green variety of mojo sauce. Children are always made very welcome even in the finest restaurants.
