About the beach

Santa Lucía de Tirajana · Gran Canaria

Pozo Izquierdo is an iconic name in the world of windsurfing; the wind and waves here have attracted international competitions and athletes. The pebbly shore serves primarily as a gateway to a dynamic, sports-oriented sea rather than a typical sandy beach. Even without a board, it is worth a visit just to watch the maneuvers and jumps from the shore. The very conditions that make it famous are the ones that require experience if you plan to get in the water.
