The Beaches of Gran Canaria

Maspalomas Maybe the most beautiful among the fantastic beaches of this island. Fine white sand at a length of 6 kilometers and a width of up to 1 kilometer, and intensely blue sea ... a paradise for sunworshippers, in particular during the cold European winter!

There are modern hotel-complexes and sports installations, more than anywhere at Faro de Maspalomas, with the island's most important sports harbour, Pasitoblanco.

Along the beach there are several oasis with palms and even a fresh-water lake.

Playa del Inglés Next to Maspalomas, of a length of 2.700 meters. This is one of the most famous beaches of the archipelago, with modern hotels and installations of any kind.

San Agustín Less known than the two foregoing, but quieter and more relaxing. An ideal place to recover from the stress of everyday life.

Playa de Patalavaca Another great beach with fine sand of golden color. Also ideal for sport-fishing.

Puerto Rico A modern urbanization with hotels, appartments and a nice harbour. Its great sports installations are one of its main attractions.

Costa de Bañaderos Beautiful landscape with romantical small bays.

Galdar , with a bizarre high coast.

Sardina del Mar , a picturesque fishing-village with nice beaches.

Playa de las Canteras, a wide beach of sand at 2,6 kilometers length, located directly in the capital, Las Palmas.

Playa de las Nieves Nieve means snow in Spanish language, and this name comes from the high mountains directly behind this beach.
