We walked from playa de Ingles to San Augustin. Helas this is not al the way a beach walk. This walk is not nice, also the beach in San Augustin is disappointing. The best beach walk is from Maspalomas to playa del ingles, alongside the superb sanddunes. We surely recommend the sanddunes.

This is a nice little enclave, and the hotels in the area are good and either on, or close to the beach, except for the Gloria Palace which is further back (though it has every amenity). There are also nice bungalow complexes and we locals think of it as being a "cut above" the busy Playa del Inglés. You can... More

Don't know about the beach itself but there is a really nice promenade you can take going down to the ocean from shopping center. Walking further you will also find some place to eat.

Not the best beach in Gran Canaria, but good for families. It is plenty of locals.

I think alot of reviewers have misunderstood regarding wind and what they call windsurfing and paragliding activities on San Agustin. Firstly: The wind in San Agustin is seasonal. During the summer when the NE trade winds blow there is no wind on the beach of San Agustin. If any it ios only a very slight and welcome breeze from the... More

This is to the east of Maspalomas and is walking distance to Playa del Ingles or use the cheap taxis. It has small shopping centres and a some large hotels with many residential chalets. It is a nice area.

This is one of the quieter beaches in the Maspalomas area. It's not lined with bars and restaurants - which are in the shopping centre a few hundred metres away. It is mostly a sunbathing place - though depending on the time of year, it can be very windy and the sand blows about a lot. It is used by... More
