Be aware of a part of the beach for gay people and a part of the beach to Nude people. Very respectful.

The beach was very clean, and tidy, and well organised. With a good selection of different places to eat, and drink near at hand. Beach bars with friendly, and helpful staff, and one of the best fish food restaurants right on the beach.

This sandy beach is unique because of the nearby sand dunes. You can walk all the way to Playa del Ingles !

The famous beaches of Maspalomas end in a fresh-water pond "El Charco" which attracts a variety of birds, and the extensive dunes which, among others, are used by nudists and for camel safaris and parachute jumping. The sun almost always shines here and it is not usually as busy as Playa del Inglés just a few km to the north.

The Atlantic ocean, a beautiful beach, the impressing sand dunes and the vulcanic mountains behind make a perfect combination!
