Footage has emerged showing a fight breaking out on one of Tenerife’s most popular beaches in the south of the island, in the latest outbreak of violence to hit the busy tourist areas.
The video was posted to Instagram and captures a chaotic scene at Playa del Duque beach in Costa Adeje.
In just 40 seconds of footage, a group of people can be seen exchanging punches and hitting each other with sticks, while holidaymakers rush to get out of the way.
The fight broke out in broad daylight in full view of beachgoers. It’s the latest in a string of violent incidents that have become increasingly common in the south of the island.
Despite growing concerns, local authorities have struggled to get a grip on the situation. Incidents of street violence, particularly in popular nightlife areas, are being reported with alarming frequency.
The latest altercation comes just weeks after a mass brawl on 30th March in Playa de las Americas. That incident also went viral and led to a temporary increase in police patrols.
Days later, another large-scale fight erupted in the same area, with ongoing disturbances being reported on the Veronicas strip. Videos of these clashes continue to circulate widely on social media, fuelling concerns over safety and the island’s reputation among international tourists.
