About the beach

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria · Gran Canaria

Playa de La Laja marks the southern entrance to Las Palmas with a long stretch of dark sand wedged between the ocean and a rocky slope. Its proximity to the road gives it an urban character distinct from Las Canteras: more open and linear, ideal for gazing at the sea and taking a walk. The waves can be strong. When planning a swim, don't just consider how easy it is to reach the shore; assess the specific stretch of water and the safety signage.
