Very nice beach. Beautiful pedestrian path for long walks near the sea. Also, you can access by car till car park. For an alternative path, you can walk in the hills. Beautiful view once you get to the top. Through this neighborhood you can also access an abandoned military area.

If you are looking for a sand beach with all the city beaches' facilities this isn't it. This is a rather wild area with spectacular colour and views as the sun go down. Bring some good shoes and explore the seaside , settle in one of the many natural pools and enjoy.

Very beautiful place to have a walk, the water is very clear. Unfortunately, the WC next to the red cross was closed, probably because it's Sunday today. I saw many white popcorn-shaped objects on the beach. Would be appreciated if anyone could let me know what they are ;)

I highly encourage a walk to this wild cape if you want to momentarily escape the crowds. It takes only about half an hour from Las Canteras, but it feels like you have travelled much farther. The view onto Las Palmas is stunning.
