About

Playa de Aguadulce (Las Palmas) is located outside the Tufia settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Gran Canaria and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive.

This place is the perfect place to unwind and relax. It's so gorgeous that it's hard to give it anything less than five stars, but I don't want it to get too crowded - selfish, I know!

If you're a strong swimmer, then you can brave the powerful currents here. The waves relentlessly drag everything out to the open sea, so be careful. The winds can be quite fierce at times, making it difficult to stay in the water for long, and the temperature is usually a bit nippier than other parts of the island.

An amazing getaway spot, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist-filled areas. Though the airport is close by, you can easily tune out the sound of the planes taking off, allowing you to truly relax and enjoy the beauty of this secluded spot.

This beach near Tufia could be a paradise if it weren't for all the litter. It's a real shame, as it could be a picture-perfect hideaway.
