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

At Playa de Maspalomas, the beach is inseparable from the dune system and the lighthouse marking its western edge. Walking along the shoreline takes you from busy access points to wide, undeveloped stretches, offering a sense of spaciousness rarely found in southern resorts. Sand and wind constantly reshape the landscape. Use the designated paths when crossing the dunes; the value of this beach lies partly in the fragility of its surrounding environment.
