Our coastlines are some of Tenerife’s most valuable natural treasures — and protecting them starts with simple, collective action. That’s why the Canary Green team is inviting you to join our next Beach Clean-Up in Playa de San Juan.
On 28 March 2026, from 10:00 to 12:00, we will meet at Playa de San Juan and come together to remove litter from the beach, protect marine life, and raise awareness about the impact waste has on our oceans. Whether you’re a local resident, a visitor, a family, or coming solo — everyone is welcome.
Beach clean-ups are about more than collecting rubbish. They’re about community, responsibility, and choosing to care for the places we enjoy. Every piece of waste removed helps protect wildlife and keeps Tenerife’s coastline healthy and beautiful.
No previous experience is needed. Just bring comfortable clothing, sun protection, and your motivation to make a difference. We’ll take care of the rest — and of course, teamwork and good vibes are guaranteed.
Registration is required and available via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/entradas-beach-cleanup-playa-de-san-juan-1980104111701
Let’s work together to protect Playa de San Juan and show that small actions create real impact. Every volunteer counts, and every bag of collected waste matters.
See you on the beach! 
Canary Green’s tips to enjoying sustainable tourism in Canary Islands
Visiting Canary Islands on holiday doesn’t give you free rein to leave your values and principles at home. We encourage travellers to seek out sustainable options and keep up with environmental practices while travelling. Our top tips for a relaxed and wholesome stay include:
- Consider green transport options. Are you able to take a ferry to the island instead of flying? While you are here is a car necessary? Investigate public transport links or choose green options such as electric cars, green-hydrogen cars or e-bikes.
- Choose destinations that value sustainability and choose green alternatives such as solar power, recycling and energy-efficient architecture. This extends to places that value workers’ rights and the impact on the local community.
- Bring your own water bottle with you and refill it instead of buying single-use plastic bottles.
- Make use of the recycling when out and about and don’t just throw your rubbish in the nearest bin.
- Take advantage of local knowledge and immerse yourself in the culture through campaigns such as #Ilovecanarias and #meatfreemondaycanarias.
- Most of all, have fun and enjoy your time in the Canary Islands.
