    Very nice beach. Beautiful pedestrian path for long walks near the sea. Also, you can access by car till car park. For an alternative path, you can walk in the hills. Beautiful view once you get to the top. Through this neighborhood you can also access an abandoned military area.

    I highly encourage a walk to this wild cape if you want to momentarily escape the crowds. It takes only about half an hour from Las Canteras, but it feels like you have travelled much farther. The view onto Las Palmas is stunning.

    Sand is unpleasant. Rocky entrance to water. Dead crabs. Infrastructure is bad, only one toilet, no changing rooms, but there is an elevated wooden path. Nudist area is not separated at all from the main walk. Creepy heremit with barking dog lives in a runied hut.

    If you are looking for a sand beach with all the city beaches' facilities this isn't it. This is a rather wild area with spectacular colour and views as the sun go down. Bring some good shoes and explore the seaside , settle in one of the many natural pools and enjoy.

    Wir haben in einem Blog gelesen, dass dieser Strand eher von Locals besucht wird und zum Surfen geeignet ist. Nachdem wir in Las Palmas waren, haben wir einen kurzen Abstecher dorthin gemacht. Als wir mit dem Auto ankamen, war uns nicht klar, ob man bis zum Strand fahren kann. Wir haben deshalb das Auto oben abgestellt und sind über einen schönen Weg mit ein paar schönen Treppen dort hingelaufen. Wenn man nicht zu bepackt ist, lohnt es sich die paar Meter zu gehen. Es war wenig los und wir konnten einige Surfer beobachten. Wir waren selbst dort nicht baden, man sollte dazu aber beachten, dass man einen steinigen Strand vorfindet. Dies hat den Leuten vor Ort aber nichts ausgemacht.

    (Translated by Google) Immersed in nature, this place has been particularly kissed by nature. Wild in moderation ... reachable by car via an unpaved road, with several dips. This beach with fine sand alternating with lava and white "paddy", Caribbean style, offers the possibility of swimming between rocks, like small trucks, which slope into the sea. Toilet and lifeguard, new wooden walkways, wooden baskets, red and gray granite platforms are the endowments of this wonderful beach, very popular with local inhabitants. (Original) Immerso nella natura, questo luogo è stato particolarmente baciato dalla Natura. Selvaggio con moderazione... raggiungibile con l'auto attraverso una strada non asfaltata, con diversi avvallamenti. Questa spiaggia con sabbia alternata fine e lavica a "risone" bianco, stile caraibico, offre la possibilità di nuotare fra scogli, stile piccoli camion, che degradano dentro il mare. WC e bagnino, passerelle nuove in legno, cestini in legno, piattaforme in granito rosso e grigio sono la dotazione di questa meravigliosa spiaggia, frequentata molto dagli abitanti locali.

    Amazing view, not a lot of people. Although we came across a homeless person. The ocean is really untamed and wild here. Great for surfing.

    Great natural area, but keep in mind currently due to construction the access path from the coast is closed M-F 7:00-15:00. You can get to/from it by climbing up/down the mountain to Las Coloradas (you can take the 41 bus there) but you should be sure to be physically fit enough to descent and ascend comfortably or you will get stuck here until 15:00.

    Very beautiful place to have a walk, the water is very clear. Unfortunately, the WC next to the red cross was closed, probably because it's Sunday today. I saw many white popcorn-shaped objects on the beach. Would be appreciated if anyone could let me know what they are ;)

    Great place to relax by the water. Not far from the city. Sometimes you see crabs.

    (Translated by Google) Very little intervened, original and quiet beach during the week. The accesses are easy both by car and on foot. It does not have, of course, beach bars or other services. (Original) Playa muy poco intervenida, original y tranquila entre semana. Los accesos son fáciles tanto en coche como andando. No dispone, eso sí, de chiringuitos ni otros servicios.

  • 5/5 Nico B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Spectacular area for sports, swimming or just walking, with views of the island and the beach of the quarries that are difficult not to enjoy. From the quarries it is a walk of about 50 minutes but it is worth it. Impossible to go to the island not to visit it because it is wonderful ... (Original) Espectacular zona para hacer deporte, darse un baño o simplemente pasear, con unas vistas de la isla y de la playa de las canteras difícil que son difíciles no disfrutar. Desde las canteras es un paseo como de 50 minutos pero que merece la pena. Imposible ir a la isla no visitarlo porque es una maravilla...

    (Translated by Google) Difficult to get to by car. Great stretch of beach with a large parking lot. Should it be a nudist beach according to tourist information we would have been the only ones. Otherwise everything is there. (Original) Schwierig mit dem Auto ranzukommen. Super Strandabschnitt mit großen Parkplatz. Sollte nach Touri-information ein Fkk-strand sein wir wären dann aber die einzigsten gewesen. Sonst alles Vorhanden.

    Would not call it „beach“ as there is no sand. But nice surfing spot or place to have a walk. Also when tide is low you ca search your own small water tub

  • 5/5 Anna B. 1 year ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Very nice place. A bit difficult to get down with baby stroller (or wheelchair) but you can use a dusty road instead of stairs. Definitely worth the visit ❤️

  • 1/5 Xavier 6 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    Shame on the local government for not marking this beach as closed. It was deemed unsafe to swim here 5 years ago due to fecal contamination, and yet there is no signage warning tourists. Guess everyone is too busy getting rich selling their properties to unsuspecting foreigners to do the right thing.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful to spend the day or do a little snorkeling. (Original) Hermoso para pasar el día u hacer un poco de snorkel.

  • 4/5 Boris E. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nicest place to watch the sunset. Can you make a romantic impression 😊 During the day you can watch the surfers or get on the board yourself, if you are not exactly a body bug - demanding (Original) Schönster Ort, um den Sonnenuntergang zu gucken. Kann man schön auf romantisch machen 😊 Tagsüber kann man den Surfern zugucken- oder selbst aufs Brett steigen, wenn man nicht gerade ein Körperklaus ist - anspruchsvoll

  • 5/5 scottbridges7836 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to walk, cycle or run to from Las Palmas Town or the beach. Amazing views of the rugged coastline. You can trek up the hills too, but some areas fenced off as a military zone. Note that there are no facilities here at all - no water points or toilets.

  • 5/5 Dan M. 4 years ago on Google
    They’ve cleared the propped up buildings and invested in turning this into a pleasant public space with nice landscaping and a dedication to reinvigorating the ecology. They e done a good job and it’s a lovely element of any stroll around La Islet.

    A wonderful place, keep coming back, my favourite walkway. There are a few restaurants there

  • 5/5 jj b. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place. Nice walk and views. As a beach it is not amazing, not much of a beach really and can be dangerous swimming. But really nice spot, quiet.

    (Translated by Google) Wonderful beach with a long, well-developed jetty. From here you have a great view of the bay or the beach and the city of Las Palmas. Due to the special waves, the beach is very popular with surfers. It is a protected area with many endemic plant and animal species. Tip: at the end of the footbridge, continue along the unpaved, marked out path around the La Isleta peninsula. You have a great view of the ocean, volcanic rock and (in good weather) of Tenerife's Pico del Teide! (Original) Wunderbarer Strand mit langem, ausgebautem Steg. Von hier aus hat man eine tolle Aussicht auf die Bucht bzw den Strand und die Stadt von Las Palmas. Aufgrund der besonderen Wellen ist der Strand bei Surfern sehr beliebt. Es handelt sich um ein geschütztes Gebiet mit vielen endemischen Pflanzen- und Tierarten. Tipp: am Ende des Steges den unbefestigten, abgesteckten Weg um die Halbinsel La Isleta herum weiterlaufen. Man eine tolle Aussicht auf den Ozean, vulkanisches Gestein und (bei gutem Wetter) auf Teneriffas Pico del Teide!

    (Translated by Google) I loved it 😍👍🏻🏖🌊🙋🏻‍♀️ I recommend it! It is a fairly quiet place to even meditate 🧘‍♀️ or 🏃🏼 do exercises. You must bring your water 💦 or food because there is nowhere nearby to buy something. The bathrooms are almost always closed. Ideal as a picnic 🧺 and also to photograph the landscape. It is worth the visit! Remember to take care of nature and make good use of the facilities. Caring is loving! 🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏻🙏🏻🌱🌊 (Original) Me encantó 😍👍🏻🏖🌊🙋🏻‍♀️ Lo recomiendo! Es un lugar bastante tranquilo hasta como para meditar 🧘‍♀️ o 🏃🏼hacer ejercicios. Debes llevar tu agua 💦 o comida porque no hay ningún lugar cerca para comprar algo.

Recuerda cuidar la naturaleza y hacer buen uso de las instalaciones. Cuidar es querer!! 🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏻🙏🏻🌱🌊

  • 5/5 Esaú González M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A natural wonder right next to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Unlike the south of the island, hardly modified by the presence of man. For surfers, one of the best rights I've seen (two peaks in one). (Original) Una maravilla natural justo al lado de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Al contrario del sur de la isla, apenas modificado por la presencia del hombre. Para los surfers, una de las mejores derechas que he visto (dos picos en uno).
