User reviews
"Nestled just north of the airport, this hidden gem is the perfect escape. With its breathtakingly beautiful bay, it's a great spot for snorkeling. But don't forget to bring your own food and water - there aren't any facilities, shops, or restaurants here. This picturesque little village is a must-see, and it's only minutes away from the GC 1."
Gianni Costa
"This fishing village may appear beautiful, but the authenticity of the area is likely fading away. If you're visiting Grand Canary, it's worth a look, but don't expect too much."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Tufia beach (Gran Canaria) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Tufia beach (Gran Canaria) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Tufia beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
