Latest reviews on Las Palmas's beaches

Playa de Sotavento de Jandia
10 Sara Jensen

This beach near Costa Calma is absolutely stunning. It's quite windy, making it a popular spot for skilled wind-surfers and kite-surfers. The beach itself is spacious and stretches out for a long distance, providing a wonderful view of all the wind-surfers in action. It's a truly pleasant place to visit, especially if you enjoy taking leisurely walks along the shore.

Francesa Beach
8 Mateusz Borowski

This location is an ideal spot to unwind. Its sandy shore is perfect for lazing in the sun and its views are breathtaking. The heat is ideal for those looking to soak up some rays.

Playa del Aljibe de la Cueva
8 Zara Nova

The beach is quite nice and not too crowded. It can get a bit windy at times, which can make it difficult to relax. However, it's a great spot for water activities.

Playa de la Cera
6 Alexis Fitch

The beaches in this national park can be a bit tricky to get to, and you'll need to pay the 3 euro entrance fee to get in. But if you're looking for a beach, it's worth the effort. The ones closest to the car parks are usually the busiest, and you may even see some nudity. There's a bar with friendly staff nearby, but it may not be worth the effort. All in all, it's an unappealing experience.

Playa del Pozo
6 Gianni Bussani

Perfect spot for those looking for a wild, unspoiled experience. With no services or shade, you'll get to appreciate the beauty of nature in its purest form. The scenery is breathtaking and the beach is larger and more open to the sea than its neighbor, Playa del Papagayo. The waters, however, can be a bit choppier, so be sure to keep a close eye on them. To get there, you can park at Playa del Papagayo and then take a leisurely 10-15 minute stroll to Playa del Pozo.

Playa Caleta del Congrio
8 Davey T

That place is a great spot for some peace and quiet, situated on the quieter side of the peninsula. With its golden fine sand and South East facing orientation, you can expect plenty of sunshine all throughout the day. It's also worth noting that this beach is a nudist beach, although it's voluntary rather than compulsory.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 40 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
