Playa de

Tauro

Artificially Sahara brought yellow sand. Beautiful and not busy. Clean water, usually not windy and offers amazing sunsets. There are a couple of local, rustic restaurants (El Pío Pío) serving canarian tapas and cold beer + sometimes they have live music, too. It is the closest beach from our home. Walking takes only 15 minutes. If you want to avoid large and loud crowds of tourists this is your best place to be. Things to remember:
  • you can walk along the coast from Tauro beach to Playa del Cura
  • best to bring your own parasol

Playa de

Amadores

One of the most beautiful beaches in the southern part of Gran Canaria. It has plenty car par spaces but might be a bit more busy during weekends. Surrounded with a great selection of bars and restaurants. While waiting for the sunset, don’t hesitate to visit fantastic chillout lounge Amadores Beach club & spa.

  • Take a walk along the cliff to the nearby Puerto Rico! It’s recommended during the “golden hours” so you can have a chance to see a spectacular sunset and sometimes even the tip of El Teide, the Tenerife’s volcano.

Playa del

Cura

Lovely little bay with darker than usual fine sand. It is usually quiet and calm and therefore very safe for the youngest. The sun is available throughout all day – from early morning to early evening. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for rent and the beach is close to local bars and restaurants, just 2 minutes away. It is easy to park a car in the nearby car park.
