After the incredible energy and success of our last Beach CleanUp in Palm Mar, we’re thrilled to invite you to our next event, this time on the beautiful Playa Grande in El Porís! On 29th of November we’ll continue our mission to protect Tenerife’s coastline, raise awareness, and strengthen the community spirit that keeps growing with every clean-up.
Sign up for our next Beach CleanUp here!
Register today, the spots are limited!
Our Beach CleanUps are more than just about picking up litter, it is about connection, education, and action.
You’ll spend a morning outdoors, surrounded by like-minded people, clean beaches, a healthy ocean, and a thriving planet. It’s an opportunity to make a real impact while enjoying great company, fresh air, and positive energy.
Whether you’re a local, a visitor, or joining for the first time, everyone is welcome. Families, friends, and even solo adventurers, every helping hand makes a difference.

Every small effort matters, and when we work together, we can keep Tenerife’s coastline clean and beautiful.
A special thanks to Ayuntamiento de Villa de Arico, Ocean Beer, Ecoimplicados, Participación y Voluntariado Ambientales de Tenerife, and Cabildo Tenerife for standing with us and helping make this Beach CleanUp possible.
Bring your surfboard
After the clean-up, we’ll keep the good vibes going! El Porís is one of Tenerife’s raw, untamed surf spots, the perfect place to connect with nature and catch a few waves. Bring your surfboard along and join us for a fun surf session after the clean-up. There’s no better way to celebrate a morning of teamwork than by enjoying the ocean we’ve just helped protect.
Let’s Protect the Canary Islands Together
Every year, more than 18 million tourists visit the Canary Islands, a number that continues to grow. Tourism is a vital part of the islands’ economy, but it also brings increasing pressure on local ecosystems, beaches, and infrastructure.
That’s why it’s so important for both locals and visitors to take part in protecting these unique islands. We all share the responsibility to keep Tenerife and the rest of the Canaries clean, safe, and beautiful for future generations.
👉 Get involved and join our WhatsApp group to stay updated on clean-ups, events, and ways to take action. Every small step matters, and together we can make a real difference.
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.
