Guayedra beach

Beautifull beach in north Gran Canaria

One of Gran Canaria’s most beautiful protected landscapes with spectacular geology, flora, fauna and archaeological sites as well as pretty Guayedra beach and superb sunsets. Close to Agaete town the Guayedra valley is accessed by road from the Agaete Valley. Its dark lava, many palm trees and the spectacular views of the west coast cliffs and across the sea to Teide volcano make the walk down to Guayedra beach a treat. It’s one of the island most attractive beaches.

Swimming close to Agaete with a backdrop of valleys and mountains

Most people walk to Guayedra beach from the west coast road although you can drive some way down a track and even reach the beach in a 4WD vehicle. Many people choose to walk from Agaete although the road is windy and has blind corners. The walk through valleys and over ridges takes you to a beach that is sandy most of the year and has lots of stone shelters. The beach is at its sandiest at low tide during the summer. The sea here can be rough but is normally perfect for a relaxing dip.

  • Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
  • Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
  • Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
  • Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
  • Do not use soap or gel in the showers located at the entrance to the beach.
  • Try to use ocean-friendly sun creams.
  • Pets are prohibited at most beaches. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
