Questions about a July Tenerife trip

[AvaKimb]

I am choosing where to stay in southern Tenerife for a summer break, and the descriptions of the resort areas are starting to blur together. What matters most to me is somewhere I can walk to the sea in the morning and still find a calm place to eat in the evening. I do not need nightlife, but I also do not want to depend on a car for every meal or short walk. I found a useful overview of beaches in tenerife south and now I am trying to separate the beach itself from the feel of the streets around it. Some places seem convenient on a map, yet reviews suggest that a short distance can still involve steep roads or traffic. I would rather find an easy place to return to than spend each day travelling across the island to find a quieter stretch of sand. Is there an area you would recommend for a solo traveller who likes swimming, coastal walks, and early evenings? I can take a bus or taxi for occasional excursions, so perfect access to every attraction is not necessary. Details about noise and walking routes would help, especially from someone who has stayed nearby. I would appreciate honest suggestions based on a normal day there.
