About the beach

San Bartolomé de Tirajana · Gran Canaria

Playa del Inglés begins at the island's liveliest resort area and gradually opens up toward the landscape of the Maspalomas dunes. This transition is its defining feature: you can stay near the restaurants and amenities or walk along the shore toward more open spaces. The golden sand forms a long stretch of beach popular for walking, sports, and seaside leisure. Choose your spot based on the atmosphere you are looking for, as the beach varies significantly from one section to another.
