JANUARY 2022 lots of homeless living here in make shift camps... feel sorry for them of course but certainly not an attractive environment for a family day out on the beach... zero shops or facilities open and whole place is run down... directly opposite the Oil Rig repair docks and lots of boats moored up so the water is also not attractive as a safe swim option... was windy as hell too when I went (Las Canteras had no wind at the time)... so also a wind trap... can't understand how this gets anything above a 1 star review when you have Las Canteras so nearby which is a true 5 star beach... totally neglected area that needs a complete regeneration. 1 star review ⭐ UPDATE!!! SEPTEMBER 2023 So I came here again on a nice sunny day in September. My experience was much better this time. No homeless camps and facilities were open! The sandy beach was nice and the sea was calm and lovely to swim at high water. I swam up to the marina staircase and swam with the fishes. My view of this has changed for the better - I'd give this a 4 Star Review now! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Clean beach but facing lots of ships and containers!

Beautiful. Peaceful. Relaxing and calm. Away from the tourist areas. Loved it here

(Translated by Google) Sand and cement, water with a commercial port in front (Original) Arena y cemento, agua con puerto comercial enfrente

This is a nice free city beach with a view on the harbour. However, I would probably recommend Last Canteras instead, as you are not directly exposed to the noise and fuel pollution of the port.

(Translated by Google) The beach has had many times the access restricted by faecal contamination and its facilities leave something to be desired. The positive point is that there are sports activities and areas enabled for it. A shame. (Original) La playa ha tenido bastantes veces el acceso restringido por contaminaciones fecales y las instalaciones de la misma dejan que desear. El punto positivo es que hay actividades deportivas y zonas habilitadas para ello. Una lástima.

(Translated by Google) I don't know why this beach in the city center has it abandoned. This month of July with many children's courses there was not even a lifeguard, there is no police, bad cleaning, broken tables of the showers little accessibility to the beach for people with disabilities and older and so I could not know who this beach it is interesting that this is the case and every day that goes worse (Original) Mal no se porqué esta playa len el centro de la ciudad la tienen abandonada. Este mes de julio con bastantes cursillos de niños no había ni un socorrista, no hay policía, limpieza pésima, tablas rotas de las duchas poca accesibilidad a la playa para gente con descapacidad y mayor y así podría seguir no se a quien que esta Playa le interesa que este así y cada día que pasa peor

(Translated by Google) Very good beach very clean (Original) Muy buena playa muy limpia

3 stars is being polite. Garbage strewn, poorly maintained infrastructure, with the worst part being well made repairs sitting beside areas completely not addressed. It just demonstrates the city happy with patch jobs instead of a proper repair and rethink. Washrooms are at least available however they are not inviting. Water quality is always horrible with visible notes of boats poo discharge in places when the tide is flat. 3 stars as they do make an effort, especially to include sports venues. More work is needed to find housing options for the many many rough campers and sleepers that frequent here. More and better washroom and shower / locker facilities needed. Public water fountains and emplaced shaded areas both for the general public and the handicapped and elderly should be here. Access to beach areas and facilities is severely limited to those with times two working legs. Full time 24hr lifeguards, washrooms presence should be here including at 3 points start middle and end of the beach area. This would be jobs for citizens and help for those attracted to the area for rough sleeping to access common basic facilities late at night. Consideration should be given to have dignified city tents & an alternative sight and transport for rough sleepers. Not the tractor and water cannon to wash the sidewalks each evening to drive people away at the earliest hours. Do better Las Palmas - point to note - do better Las Palmas including enforcement of illegal parking and street paint etc. Perhaps if you employed people to do these jobs you would have the money, safety and balanced enforcement in the city. Don't forget Engineering - patch jobs are better then no jobs but seriously was it too difficult to have the same construction crew that remade the bike path not continue to work on painting and washrooms construction etc?

This is a free city beach with a view on the harbour but facing containers and ships. Probably i would spend time on Las Canteras beach rather than here.

(Translated by Google) Perfect for sunbathing or sports. To give yourself a better bath, go to Las Canteras. (Original) Perfecta para tomar el sol o hacer deporte. Para darte un baño mejor irse a Las Canteras.

The beach gets two stars as Las Canteras beach is close by and a way better choice if you ask me. It's nice to have a view on some ships in the harbour and the beach is not crowded, so playing sports is suitable. On the other hand it seems that homeless people are staying here on a regular basis in tents (not very inviting to come there early morning or when it's getting dark). The water seems pretty still (not enough current and hence bad water quality?) and the GC-1 road is practically at the beach, which makes it rather noisy.

(Translated by Google) Beach used for sports since in the past nobody wanted to bathe in its waters because of the dirt that came from the port. Little traffic because of its proximity to the highway. (Original) Playa utilizada para el deporte ya que antiguamente nadie se quería bañar en sus aguas por la suciedad que provenía del puerto. Poco transitada por su cercanía a la autovía.

(Translated by Google) Very central beach sheltered from the wind ideal for windy days when it is cold in Las Canteras. Very happy full of people doing sports. Free bathroom and shower lockers very clean with caretaker. (Original) Playa muy céntrica abrigada del viento ideal para días ventosos en los que hace frío en las Canteras.

A small park with play areas. It has volleyball, basketball and a small football court. Play area for children are also available.

A beach somewhat lacking in appeal and facilities. Edging onto the port so only for sun bathing not swimming.

On a walk along the beach.

Quiet beach, definitely not crowded. Peoole mostly just lying around to sunbath during the day. Nice sand and even the place is next to the main street it's still nice to be there.

Good

(Translated by Google) Great to enjoy it with the family or do all kinds of sports, the problem is the uncivil citizens who spend the night in it daily and make it dirty, creating a serious problem of unhealthiness without the authorities doing anything. (Original) Genial para disfrutarla en familia o hacer todo tipo de deportes, el problema son los ciudadanos incívicos que pernoctan en ella a diario y la ensucian creando un grave problema de insalubridad sin que las autoridades hagan nada.

(Translated by Google) One of the urban beaches of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Original) Una de las playas urbanas de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

(Translated by Google) An excellent beach, although underrated. It is cleaned daily, both on the shore in the morning and all the sand at night. Very familiar, quiet and good for swimming, because it hardly has waves. The worst, the boats that dock in the bay, which loose their crap and reach the shore. Even so, it is worth it. The city council should value more the importance of having several urban beaches in the city. (Original) Una excelente playa, aunque infravalorada. Se limpia a diario, tanto en la orilla en la mañana como toda la arena por la noche. Muy familiar, tranquila y buena para el baño, porque apenas tiene olas. Lo peor, los barcos que atracan en la bahía, que sueltan su porquería y llega a la orilla. Así y todo, merece la pena. El ayuntamiento debería valorar más la importancia de tener varias playas urbanas en plena ciudad.

Not a special place but you can chill.
