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. Suitable for families with children.
