Tide

FallingAmong today’s lowest levels

-0.70 m relative to the predicted mean sea level.

LowMidHigh0.62 m-0.89 m

At low tide La Barra is more exposed and the area between the reef and beach becomes pool-like.

A favourable tide does not guarantee bathing conditions: check waves, currents and local warnings.

About the beach

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria · Gran Canaria

Las Canteras changes character along the Las Palmas promenade. Off one section of the beach, a natural rocky reef breaks the waves, creating areas perfect for snorkeling when the sea is calm; towards La Cícer, surfing takes center stage. This distinction matters more than the generic label of "urban beach." You can choose your spot based on what you want to do and then stop at one of the seafront venues.
