Maspalomas beach

A vast resort beach close to the Maspalomas lighthouse

Maspalomas beach is in south Gran Canaria flanked by the Maspalomas Dunes Nature Reserve and Maspalomas resort. With calm seas and three kilometres of golden sand, and the wide range of hotels and apartments available nearby, Maspalomas is an ideal family holiday destination and the perfect place to spend days in the sunshine. For a romantic experience head to the dunes in the evening and watch the sun set behind Maspalomas lighthouse.

Sunbathing all day and plenty to do at night in Gran Canaria

Maspalomas beach has sections for everybody: The eastern end adjoins Playa del Ingles resort and offers lots of family-friendly services such as lounger and parasol rental, showers and snack stands. As you head west to the centre of the beach, towards Maspalomas lighthouse, the beach gets wilder with water sports zones and nudist areas. After sunbathing during the day why not head into Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés for a taste of the nightlife?

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Do not use soap or gel in the showers located at the entrance to the beach.
Try to use ocean-friendly sun creams.
Pets are prohibited at most beaches. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
