With convenient travel options, stunning beaches, and exciting water activities like windsurfing and wingfoiling, El Médano is a fantastic destination for families.

Here’s a guide to the best ways to travel with your family to TWS and enjoy a smooth, stress-free journey. 

By Air
Flying is the quickest and easiest way to get to Tenerife. **Tenerife South Airport (TFS)** is just 10 minutes by car from El Médano, making it an ideal arrival point for families. The airport is well-connected with flights from major European cities, offering plenty of options. 

–> Family Tip:
Book your flights early for the best deals, especially during school holidays and peak vacation seasons. Many airlines also offer family-friendly services, such as priority boarding and extra baggage allowance. 

Airport Transfers 
Once you arrive at Tenerife South Airport, several options can get you and your family directly to TWS

Private Transfers 
For a hassle-free start to your vacation, you can pre-book a private transfer to take your family straight from the airport to your hotel or TWS. This option is ideal for families traveling with kids and extra luggage like windsurfing gear, strollers, or other equipment. 

–> Family Tip:
Check with the transfer company to ensure they can accommodate larger family vehicles if needed, especially if you’re traveling with kids and extra gear like trolleys, bikes, or sports equipment.

Shared Shuttle
For families on a budget, a shared shuttle service is a great option. While it may take a bit longer, you’ll save on transport costs. Shared shuttles take you and other passengers to various locations around El Médano, including TWS.

–> Family Tip:
Pre-booking your shuttle will secure your family’s seats and minimize wait times, which can be helpful when traveling with young children.

Taxi
Taxis are available right outside Tenerife South Airport, and the short 10-15 minute ride to El Médano is affordable, typically costing between €15-€20. Most taxis can accommodate families, and many have extra space for luggage or windsurfing equipment.

–> Family Tip:
If you’re traveling with bulky items like a stroller, children’s bikes, or windsurfing gear, confirm with the taxi driver that they have enough space. It’s also a good idea to pre-book a larger taxi if your family needs more room.

Public Bus
If you’re looking for an economical way to travel, Tenerife’s public bus service (TITSA) is reliable and family-friendly. From Tenerife South Airport, you can catch **Line 470** or **Line 111**, which take about 30 minutes to reach El Médano.

–> Family Tip:
Purchase a **TEN+ card** at the airport or bus station to save on bus fares. The buses are equipped with air conditioning and are stroller-friendly. 

Car Rental
Renting a car gives your family the flexibility to explore more of Tenerife at your own pace. With a short 10-minute drive to El Médano from Tenerife South Airport, renting a car is a convenient option. There are plenty of family-sized vehicles available from rental companies at the airport.

–> Family Tip:
If you have kids and extra luggage, make sure to book a vehicle with enough space for strollers, car seats, and any sports gear. Renting a smaller car may be more convenient for parking in El Médano’s charming but narrow streets.

Ferry (From Other Canary Islands)
If your family is already visiting another Canary Island, you can take a ferry to Tenerife. Ferries from islands like Gran Canaria and La Gomera arrive at Santa Cruz de Tenerife, about a 45-minute drive from El Médano. From there, you can either rent a car, take a bus, or arrange a private transfer to TWS.

–> Family Tip: Plan your ferry schedule in advance and arrange transportation from Santa Cruz to El Médano beforehand to make the journey as smooth as possible for the kids.
