El Charco de San Lorenzo natural pool, an incredible local site

17/11/2021 Por Local Guide Gran Canaria Leave a Comment

Along the north coast of Gran Canaria there are many areas natural pools to enjoy the sea, one of them is the Charco de San Lorenzo natural pool. Here we have a kind of natural swimming pool with sea water in which you can bathe and swim. In the Charco de San Lorenzo you can enjoy the Atlantic Ocean in a non-tourist environment since there is nothing around: some boulder beaches and a camping site for caravans. We tell you all the details below, so keep reading!

Charco de San Lorenzo natural pool

This charco or natural pool is located in Moya municipality. It is one of the few bathing areas in Moya, since the municipality has very few kilometers of coastline. The truth is that the site is not bad since it has showers, public toilets, railings and stairs to access the water, as well as an esplanade where you can lie down to sunbathe. Also, right next there is a restaurant (the house that appears in the photo below).

Access to the water in El Charco de San Lorenzo

You should bear in mind that in the north of the island it is sometimes cloudy. You can take a look at our post about the weather in Gran Canaria to understand a little why. A few meters away is the seaside neighborhood El Roque, a beautiful postcard from the north of Gran Canaria.

If you want to continue investigating the area, the same road that took you to El Charco crosses the entire coast until you reach the town of San Lorenzo. There is a small avenue and a few bars where you can have a coffee. If you don’t have time, it is not essential either. BEWARE, the beaches around here are of boulders and quite dangerous due to their waves and currents. In El Charco there is no problem since it has breakwaters.
