About the beach

San Bartolomé de Tirajana · Gran Canaria

Playa de Montaña Arena takes its name from the sandy slope that descends toward a small, natural beach nestled between Pasito Blanco and El Pajar. You reach it by walking along the coast, leaving behind the convenience of urban access points. Popular with naturists, it is a place to visit for its rugged, unspoiled landscape rather than for resort-style amenities. Bring water and suitable footwear for the walk—especially for the return journey under the sun.
