User reviews
"We spent a week in Maspalomas and had the pleasure of visiting many beaches near the ocean. This one was my favorite! It's got a great view and lots of places to shop, eat and drink. You can take a stroll along the coast, soak up some rays, take a dip in the ocean, or join the morning yoga class. All in all, it's a great spot to spend some time."
Ava Szabo
"Situated in a central location, however it can get quite crowded. The sand is tidy but the water is not so clear, making it less enjoyable for a swim. Additionally, there are not many chairs or sun beds, so if you want to lay down on the ground, you might be out of luck."
