About the beach

Telde · Gran Canaria

Playa de Tufia is a small cove nestled beneath the village, framed by rocks and dark sand. The headland is not merely scenic; it preserves traces of an aboriginal settlement, adding a historical dimension to your seaside visit. Choose this beach for its intimate scale and coastal landscape, but do not expect much room to spread out. The rocks along the edges require caution, especially when the sea is rough.
