Excursion to Maspalomas Beach in the south of the island

To the south of the island of Gran Canaria, no more than 45 minutes drive away along a modern motorway, Maspalomas Beach offers us the chance to enjoy an extraordinary day at the beach with kilometres of sand stretching as far as the Playa del Inglés, and we can also discover the exotic beauty of its famous dunes. The beach provides all kinds of services for its users and different atmospheres that combine in absolute harmony.

Swimming in the sea and kilometres of dunes

The Maspalomas Dunes Special Nature Reserve is a unique nature area formed by active dunes with organic sand, a forest of palm trees, a salt-water lagoon with abundant bird life, along with the beach itself. A viewing point allows you to enjoy all the beauty of this treasure of nature with the blue of the ocean in the background.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
- Use the waste- paper baskets and, insofar as possible, separate and place your recycling waste in the appropriate containers.
- 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.
- 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'.
- In natural spaces and at viewpoints, do not leave the trail or the spaces designated for people to be in.
- Respect and look after the area's historic and cultural heritage, along with the public furniture and items for visitors, such as information panels or telescopes and binoculars.
