About the beach

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria · Gran Canaria

Playa de El Confital reveals the rocky, open side of Las Palmas, beyond the urban sprawl of La Isleta. Here, the landscape takes precedence over amenities: rocky platforms, small patches of sand, and waves popular with surfers. It is a great spot for a coastal walk and viewing the city from a different perspective. The seabed and exposure call for caution; the shore's tranquil appearance does not necessarily mean the water is easy to swim in.
