At first glance, the diversity of the beaches of the Gran Canaria does not have a prominent
distinctive feature. There is no clear predominance of mountain landscapes or crystal sea, on the contrary,
everything seems balanced. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the flow of tourists continues
to grow from year to year.
General information
Long straight beaches dominate the coast of Gran Canaria. Large spaces mean you can always
find a comfortable place to relax. That is why travelers appreciate these places so much. One of the
disadvantages of this type of beach is the scarce natural shade, so if you choose to relax on the wild
part of the coast, be prepared to be alone with the scorching sun without the opportunity to take cover
in a cool shade.
Regarding location, Gran Canaria is dominated by beaches outside urban areas in a natural
setting. They may not be convenient for all categories of travelers (you can use filtering by access type
or audience), primarily due to possible access difficulties. But they always give you extra points due to
the amazing natural views, so isn't that why most of us go to the beach?
