Beautiful sandy beach with a promenade full of places to eat and drink! Lively fun and well-maintained. It has an international vibe but also you feel like you are immersed with the locals. Great range of restaurants and all tastes/price ranges are catered for. The giant hand-made sand sculptures on the beach were very impressive (free entry).

We love this place and stay in a hotel directly on the beach, midway between the two ends. Now we are in our 70s it gives us great pleasure to stroll the wide promenade, watching sports on the beach such as volleyball and surfing. There are plenty of seats to take a rest and of course, a great choice of restaurants and cafes. The sand is kept really clean and some hotels have sunbeds for use.. We came in December ( 2nd visit) and of course visited the beautiful sand sculptures and the aquarium, as well as catching a bus from the nearby Santa Catalina square. It’s a great place with a good cosmopolitan mix of ages.

This is a long beach. The southern end of the beach isn’t the best area and it gradually runs out to an area that seems more run down , which a less attractive beach. The north end of the beach is really the hub and I would recommend that any accommodation would be best at this end of the beach. There are many bars and restaurants on the front , and the market has lots of bars and tapas , just back from the main beach in the north. Having walked around the whole area and visited the old town, I would say that the beach area is the place to be, as Las Palmas centre isn’t really somewhere to stay , but worth a day trip on the local bus or by taxi. We stayed for 6 nights , but think that we would stay 3 nights here and maybe split our trip between here and Mas Palomas in the south , as the weather is better further south.

We have been visiting here every year since 2012 and we have fallen in love and it really is our 2nd home. I would say this is the best city beach. Great to walk along the promenade day or night. Lovely restaurants, great base to explore the city and walking distance to the bus station.

Wow what a beach, you can do everything, from surfing, volleyball, beach yoga, surf school, sunbathing & rock pooling all on the same beach ( not all at the same time !! ). There are free toilets, showers, lockers, changing rooms. This can be accessed from both the beach & the promenade. Disable friendly, ramps down onto the beach. The city center end, the sand is dry, but towards the auditorium end it is tidal so wet sand. Very clean. Lots of bars, cafes & restaurants & shops. Plenty of seats to watch the world go by.

Beach is huge and stretches a long way. A lot of shower stations to clean yourself. A lot of stores and restaurants. A fair amount of black sand at one end hot to walk on. Lots of activities available. Location is excellent for a morning run. As with most European beaches a number of topless women present. Weather a bit more variable hazy sunshine / windy but still warm (23-26C).
