Las Alcaravaneras, the sports beach of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

14/06/2022 - Ruth González

One of the 4 urban beaches What to visit in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Its the The Alcaravaneras. It stands out for its blonde sand and little boats in the sand. It is not usually a crowded beach, since both residents and tourists usually prefer the beach of The pits. In any case, it is a very beautiful beach and with its own charms.

Las Alcaravaneras Beach

If we had to say something negative about this beach, it is that it is not located in an open bay like other beaches in Gran Canaria. That is to say, It has the Port of Las Palmas right next door, so its waters are not so clean.

Boats and Las Palmas Pier in the background.

Residents here usually practice various sports such as canoeing, beach volleyball, soccer, open sea swimming... Therefore, every day young and old congregate here to enjoy their hobbies. Las Alcaravaneras makes the following services available to its visitors:

  • Free toilets and showers. Opening hours from 10:30 to 18:15
  • Surveillance and lifeguard. Every Saturday, Sunday and holidays from July to September from 11:00 a.m. to 18:00 p.m.
  • Park in the sand for children

  • Play area for beach volleyball and soccer
  • Kiosk where you can buy a snack or drink

On the beach of Las Alcaravaneras there is no sunbed and umbrella service. There is also no varied offer of restaurants like in other areas of Las Palmas. In any case, two steps away is the Sports Pier with a wide gastronomic offer and Ruiz de Alda Street with rich places such as Mr. Kale.

About Ruth González

Hello! I am RuthTourism expert, Canary Islander and traveler. Although I write, Local Guide Gran Canaria has two engines: Jorge (my partner) and I.

Here we merge my academic training (Graduate and Master in Tourism) with his mountain experience (MTB) to show you the real Gran Canaria: trails, landscapes and local off-the-beaten-path gastronomy.

Besides being your hosts on the island, we share guides to our trips so you can plan your getaways with the confidence of Follow routes that are 100% validated by us.

If we're not traveling or "tasting" restaurants, look for us in the mountains with our fur babies, Silver and Plata.

Shall we discover (and devour) the world together?

    I don't like that the town's beach is being filled with minors for their summer camp since they don't respect that families are on that beach and they have to move from place to place because the munitors take up almost the entire beach for their event, they have stayed with all the beach that belongs to the town not to the game hahaha they say you can't play ball and they do it and other things that I saw yesterday I didn't like the whole beach for their summer events so we were doing well well

      Hello! They will have to file a claim with the City Council, we can't do anything about it. All the best.

      This beach is for sports use for beach volleyball and canoeing clubs. And bravo because the City Councils promote sports and not a sedentary lifestyle!!

      You have Las Canteras beach and La Laja beach if you are bothered by athletes.

      What we have to complain about is the people who leave cigarette butts and trash in the sand.
