Where To Find The Best Beaches In Gran Canaria
Choosing a beach can be a tough choice when there is such variety, so this post will look at a few of the best Gran Canaria beaches. If you end up staying at a resort that is far away from the airport, it is advised that you book your airline transfer in advance due to its popularity (especially in the school holidays).
Puerto de Mogan
Those seeking a peaceful and tranquil beach will want to put Puerto de Mogan on their list. This is a human-made beach in a quieter part of the island often referred to as Little Venice because of the beautiful network of canals found here.
The beach is a great place for relaxing, soaking up the sun and enjoying the views out to sea. Other areas of Gran Canaria can get busy, especially in the warmer months, so having somewhere a bit quieter and more peaceful to retreat to can be a great feeling.
Puerto Rico
This small but charming beach has sand that was imported from the Sahara, and it is a popular choice with those that enjoy water sports or simply chilling on the sand. Puerto Rico is also a good place to stay if you like being by the sea with incredible ocean views to wake up to each morning.
Anfi del Mar
Anfi del Mar is regarded by many to be Gran Canaria’s finest beach and it is hard to argue against this. Although human-made, it has a natural feel with its golden sand, palm trees and beautiful floral displays that contract with the turquoise waters.
Another reason why this is considered to be a jewel in the crown is that it has everything that you need right by the beach, including bars, restaurants, and fast-food stalls. It is also a good beach for water sports, and you can even hire small boats from the marina. This means that this is the kind of beach that you can easily spend an entire day at and not get bored.
