Latest reviews on El Hormiguero's beaches

North Beach Sardina
6 Carmen Paz

North Beach Sardina in the north of Gran Canaria isn't the best. The water isn't as clean as it could be. Despite that, it remains one of my favourite spots.

Playa El Puertillo
8 Mazin Yadegar

If you're looking for a wild seaside full of waves and golden sand, this is the place for you! We absolutely loved it! 😍

Arena de San Felipe
6 Kwame Ezeokoli

Arena de San Felipe is not suitable for swimming, but it does attract surfers from time to time. It is not a great spot for a dip in the water.

Playa del Agujero
6 Arielle Landon

That place is an ideal spot for an early morning stroll or a day of fun in the sun. With its crystal clear waters and gentle waves, it's the perfect place to catch a few waves or just relax. Despite the strong currents, it's a great spot to spend a day and take in the beauty of the ocean.

Playa del Juncal
8 Juan Carlos

A charming and secluded spot that makes the hike to get there well worth the effort.

Playa Dos Roques
8 Nicolás Navarro Pérez

That place is a wonderful place to spend a day, with a pleasant and cozy atmosphere. The beach and pool are combined, making it a great spot for the whole family. Even though it's on the smaller side, it's still a great place to relax and have fun. It's also very safe for young children, so parents can rest assured that their little ones are safe. Highly recommended!
