Beach overall scores
Maspalomas Beach (Las Palmas) is located outside the Maspalomas settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Gran Canaria and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Maspalomas Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is one of the best. It has a long stretch of sandy shoreline that I highly recommend visiting. Additionally, there are water stations conveniently located near the exit points where you can wash your feet. While the main parking area requires payment, if you don't mind a little walk, you can easily find free parking spots."
Jaxon Turner
"The beach offers two beds and an umbrella for approximately 8 euros, which is quite a reasonable price. If you happen to be in the vicinity, it's a great option to visit. However, I wouldn't recommend going out of your way from other parts of the island just for this beach. It's your typical bustling beach with various shops and refreshments available."
