About the beach

Telde · Gran Canaria

At Playa de Melenara, you swim under the watchful eye of Neptune: the large bronze sculpture by Luis Arencibia Betancort rises from the rocks facing the beach, serving as a local landmark. The volcanic sand and the Telde seafront complete the experience of this authentic local spot. The seafood restaurants offer a great reason to stay for lunch, even when the sea is better suited for wave-watching than swimming.
