About the beach
Agüimes · Gran Canaria
Playa de Vargas is an east-coast beach where the wind is just as significant as the water. Its pebble-and-sand shore is a favorite among windsurfers, set in an open, undeveloped landscape. It is a fascinating spot to watch the sails and the movement of the sea, though it is far less suitable if you are picturing a day spent lounging motionless under a parasol. Before entering the water, consider the seabed, the waves, and the skill level required by the conditions.
