Which route serves it, from which airport, how long does it take, and what to do if there’s no bus.
From Tenerife South Airport to El Médano and San Isidro
The places closest to the southern airport: San Isidro, Las Galletas and El Médano beach, the windsurfing capital.
It is the area closest to the South Airport, and is served by the line 415, which is a local route with lots of stops between San Isidro, Las Galletas and El Fraile. It’s not the express bus for tourists: it’s the one used by people who live and work there, which is why it runs so frequently and has so many stops.
El Médano is the most popular destination in this area: it boasts one of the longest natural sandy beaches on the island and is a world-renowned windsurfing spot, precisely because of the constant wind, which also affects landings.

If the bus isn’t any use to you
If the bus doesn’t suit your timetable, the other options from the terminal are the taxi —picked up at the arrivals hall, without a booking, charged by the meter—, a private transfer at a fixed price, or a car hire, which, on an island the size of Tenerife, makes quite a difference to the journey.
