By the Coast
Our island has a wide variety of beaches along its entire coast, perhaps one of the best-rated urban beaches is located in the capital of the island, Playa de las Canteras in Las Palmas. From VV la Niña heading north it is 15/20 minutes by vehicle, you can also access it by Guagua (bus) a few meters from your accommodation.
But if what you are looking for are golden sand beaches, it would be better to let yourself be advised by our official Gran Canaria Tourism website, complete information and variety of destinations, all idyllic and at a distance of 30+ - minutes heading south from VV La Niña in vehicle.
Around 90 beaches exist on the island. Of course there are many beaches that do not have sand. The best known here are Maspalomas beach with the dunes in the background, Playa del Inglés beach with its particular mini desert and the previously described Las Canteras beach.
We know that there are many tourists who do not like to venture into the open sea and even if you want to cool off a little while sunbathing, you don't even want to put your feet in the water.
For all those tourists who are a little afraid of the open sea, there are numerous natural pools in Gran Canaria.
When the tide goes out, it is surrounded by a rock wall that protects it from the open sea. These natural pools are ideal for snorkeling, since they are full of all kinds of fish inside the pools. Arguineguin, Agaetes, Bañaderos, Roque Prieto, Charco de San Lorenzo, La Laja... are an example.

But if you come to rest and don't want to drive, our coastal avenue that runs through the municipality of Telde and is complete with beaches and coves is the solution.
Enjoy our coast, the Atlantic Ocean awaits you with its clean and warm waters.
