Playa de las Canteras stands out as the jewel of Las Palmas, stretching for 3 kilometres of fine sand. This urban beach benefits from a natural reef barrier that protects swimmers from waves, creating an ideal natural swimming pool for families.
In the south of the island, Playa de Maspalomas fascinates with its mobile dunes extending over 400 hectares. This unique desert landscape in Europe offers complete escapism, enhanced by the presence of a historic lighthouse dating from 1890.
Playa del Inglés attracts water sports enthusiasts thanks to its consistent waves and favourable winds. This 2.7-kilometre beach offers complete infrastructure with numerous aquatic activities.
More secluded coves like Playa de Güigüi or Playa de la Aldea appeal to travellers seeking authenticity. Accessible only on foot or by boat, these peaceful havens preserve their wild character.
Hidden treasures of the north coast
The north coast reveals volcanic beaches with authentic charm. Playa de Sardina and its turquoise waters contrast with the black volcanic sand, creating a striking natural spectacle. These less frequented beaches allow total immersion in the preserved nature of the archipelago.
