Tide

Almost steadyAmong today’s lowest levels

-0.73 m relative to the predicted mean sea level.

Low tide allows a shoreline connection between Meloneras and Maspalomas; at high water the sections remain separate.

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

About the beach

San Bartolomé de Tirajana · Gran Canaria

Playa de Las Meloneras is found by continuing along the seafront promenade west of the Maspalomas lighthouse. It is a more intimate beach than the vast dunes area, featuring restaurants and terraces that make it a pleasant spot to stop, even if only for the afternoon. The coastal path is a key reason to choose it: you can arrive on foot and end your visit gazing at the sea, without having to commit to a full day on the sand.
