Just north of Playa de las Américas on Tenerife’s southwest shore, Puerto Colón is a lively marina that serves as a bustling hub for private boats and yachts. The port is the starting point for boat cruises and scuba diving excursions along the Teno-Rasca Marine Strip, where visitors can observe bottlenose and common dolphins, pilot whales, and loggerhead and green turtles in their natural habitat. The marina itself is a vibrant area, with the comings and goings of various vessels adding to its dynamic atmosphere.
