The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Piscina Natural El Altillo (Gran Canaria) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Piscina Natural El Altillo for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

This beach is perfect for people who enjoy quaint, offbeat destinations rather than crowded touristy spots. It's especially great for families, as children can swim safely in the natural pool. It's advisable to visit during the middle sea tide. If you enjoy exploring puddles, make sure to bring appropriate footwear. Additionally, this beach is a fantastic choice for experienced surfers.
