Beaches Patalavaca and Aquamarine They are located in the municipality of Mogán, south of Gran Canaria. They are both in a tourist area, but coincidentally They are more frequented by the local public than by tourist. That of Patalavaca because a large part of the tourist complexes that surround it have owners locals who spend their weekends and summer there or live there. On the other hand, you have to know that Aquamarina exists to find it, since it is quite hidden. Don't worry, we will tell you how to get to Aquamarina. We start with Patalavaca, seem to you?
Beach Patalavaca, Gran Canaria
Patalavaca It is divided into two beaches so to speak, although when the tide is low you can walk from one side to the other. The bad thing about the beach is the impact caused by the apartments behind it. Nevertheless, Its waters are crystal clear and the sea here is always calm. In addition, you have guaranteed sun practically 365 days a year. Next to the beach there are several restaurants, a supermarket and even one of the beach clubs in Gran Canaria where you can have a drink. Is he Kai Club.
We highlight the spectacular sunsets that can be seen from here, as well as the walk that goes to Arguineguin y amphi of the sea. There is no waste of traveling through it, since it can be one of the best walks on the island to see the sunset in Gran Canaria.
To park in Patalavaca you have several options, a huge and free dirt parking lot. To this you have to go down from the main road via an existing ramp next to the Green Beach apartments.
Aquamarina Beach, Gran Canaria
Between the beaches of Patalavaca and Anfi del Mar we have the little one Aquamarina beach or cove. It is characterized by its calm waters, since it is between several small docks. Therefore, it is Ideal to go with children. The bad thing about Aquamarina beach is that it does not have parking nearby. So you have to walk a little from the beach of Patalavaca towards Anfi del Mar or park at Anfi and walk towards Patalavaca.
As you can see in the following photo, on Aquamarina beach There are several areas of access to the sea for swimming by means of stairs. If you don't like sand much, this option is great.
Both from the platform that we see in the background of the photo, and from the different stairs that border the sea from the promenade. There are no services, restaurants, or supermarkets on this beach. Therefore, If you want to be calmer, we recommend Aquamarina beach and its little piers for bathing. On the contrary, if you want to mix with the people of Gran Canaria, as well as prefer to have services nearby, and for the beach to be moderately accessible, we recommend Patalavaca.
✔ Swimming lane Patalavaca – Anfi del Mar, Mogán
Lastly, if you like open water swimming, there is a 700 meter swimming lane that connects the beach of Patalavaca with that of Anfi del mar. It is delimited with buoys, so swimming is safe. You will find access to the lane on the shore of Anfi beach (the one closest to Patalavaca) or from any point on the shore of Patalavaca. We leave you a more illustrative photo.
