In this post we will list you 10 nudist beaches Gran Canaria. As you can imagine, since it is an island, There is a wide variety of beaches and places to take a dip. We have counted approximately 80 natural pools, puddles and beaches in Gran Canaria. We have them all at your disposal in our beach guide. Among those almost 80 options to enjoy the coast of the island, we wanted to highlight 10 in which you can also practice nudism. Here we go!
The best nudist beaches in Gran Canaria
1. English Beach, San Bartolome de Tirajana
We could say that the English beach is one of the few nudist beaches that have more services a few steps away: rental of hammocks and umbrellas, toilets, Blue Flag, security, chiringuitos and quite quiet. Yes indeed, You cannot camp, so you will find it clean all year round. You should be aware that not all the beach is nudist, just a part of it. To get to this point, you must walk towards Maspalomas. Therefore, if you have reduced mobility or a baby stroller, access is a bit complicated.
2. Maspalomas Beach, San Bartolomé de Tirajana
As in Playa del Inglés, en Maspalomas You can enjoy a natural and clean environment to practice nudism. In addition, it also has a rental service for hammocks, umbrellas and kiosks where you can buy food and drinks. You will also have to take into account that To get to the nudist area of Maspalomas you will have to walk a couple of kilometers until you reach kiosk number 4 on the beach. Towards kiosk number 7, you will reach the "gay area" of the beach. At this point in Maspalomas You will only have dunes and sea in sight, so the environment is 100% natural. Without a doubt, Maspalomas is one of the best beaches in Gran Canaria.
3. Montaña Arena Beach, San Bartolomé de Tirajana
Sand Mountain It is known by the local nudists of Gran Canaria, so on this beach you will practically find residents. The bad thing is During the summer months it is full of campers, so the feeling of tranquility and disconnection is lost.. More garbage also accumulates. It is a beach where their owners' pets also come. There is no telephone coverage or services around. Access is via a path of about 15 minutes with slight difficulty.
4. Playa de Las Mujeres, San Bartolomé de Tirajana
A few minutes by car from Montaña Arena we have this cove. Unfortunately, It is one of the dirtiest that we list here, since the campers who frequent it do not ensure its conservation.. Pets also usually come. Even so The beach is beautiful and if you can visit it outside of the summer months, as well as on weekends or holidays, you will be able to enjoy it. It is not an accessible beach, you will have to leave your car on a piece of land and walk for about 10 minutes along a path.
5. Tiritaña Beach, Mogán
To get to Tiritaña you will have to walk a small path of about 20 minutes that is not accessible. Yes, When you reach the coast you will be in a totally quiet environment with no coverage. There are campers who frequent this beach (despite it being prohibited), but it is not as saturated as the two mentioned above. Yes indeed, It is much smaller and the sand is only visible when the tide goes out. The rest is bowling. Remember to wear good shoes to be able to arrive.
6. Veneguera Beach, Mogán
It is a beach that you can only reach by walking almost 10 kilometers of a dirt road, with many stones. The environment is totally virgin, although it has some mango and fruit plantations at its entrance. The beach is callaos (as we call it in the Canary Islands) or bolos, although when the tide goes out there is some dark sand left.. Many campers choose this beach, especially those who come in their van. Therefore, if you avoid weekends and the summer months, the better.
7. Guigui Beach, La Aldea de San Nicolás
It is one of the most paradisiacal beaches in Gran Canaria and We could say that the least accessible on the island. Hence we consider it a paradise. To get to Güigüi you will have to go by boat or pass the trail test lasting at least 1 hour and a half each way. The path is very steep, so you must be very prepared. We recommend you take a look at the full post about Guigui with advice. Of course, the effort is definitely worth it.
8. Faneroque Beach, Agaete
La Faneroque beach It is also characterized by its difficult access, since in order to get to the beach there must be low tide and, in addition, you must follow a path of about 20-30 minutes (part of it on slippery rocks). The beach is totally virgin and has black sand. However, it is not very safe if you do not control the tides. In addition, it does not have surveillance and is an area at risk of landslides. We recommend that you take a look at our post about this beach if you decide to visit it.
9. Guayedra Beach, Agaete. Nudist beaches of Gran Canaria
At the end of the Guayedra ravine we find the beach of the same name. It is made up of callaos or bolos, although like most, when the tide goes out you can see the dark sand peeking out.. Campers also usually come here, but with a little more awareness. Care must be taken in the access area on foot as there may be landslides.. However, it is an easy beach to get to and the surroundings are spectacular with views of the mountains and the Port of Las Nieves de Agaete.
10. El Confital Beach, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
If you are looking for a nudist beach in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the only option is The Confital. You must bear in mind that The naturist part begins a few meters later of your access area. At the same time, you should know that bathing is not recommended because the water is contaminated. If what you want is to sunbathe naked and with views of the capital, this is your beach. The environment is quiet and all locals bathe. Take the opportunity to visit the capital with the help of our article on what to see in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
As you can see, Almost all of Gran Canaria's nudist beaches are virgin or difficult to access by car, so if you like nudism, you are likely to discover areas of the island that not even many residents have visited. If you don't want to complicate things, the best nudist beaches in Gran Canaria are Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas and El Confital. Remember to put sunscreen everywhere 🙂

Hello! I am Ruth, Canarian with a traveling soul. With training and experience in the tourism and digital marketing sector. In this blog I tell you all the tips you need to get to know the most authentic side of Gran Canaria on your own. I also share my travel guides to all the places in the world that I am visiting so that you can discover the destinations like a local and save time planning. In addition to traveling, I love gastronomy and sports. I run and hike in the mountains with my “dog-children” (Silver and Plata). In all these adventures my partner accompanies me, Jorge, which you will also see a lot on this blog.
Hello, I have visited some of the places advertised here and I do not see that they are beaches as such. I don't know if over time and from these previous posts there will be other beaches.
For me, Fuerteventura tops the best beaches, you arrive at the foot of the sand with the same car, and then Lanzarote follows.
More than nudist beaches, they are beaches to be hidden.
If they have become nudist beaches it will be because they are difficult to access, and to make it more difficult... they even look at you badly or are full of campers.
We want to feel free and we have to be hidden.
Very happy with the information, thank you, I am a Canarian and I had doubts.
I just found out that Cofital beach is nudist.
Hello Concepción! We are happy to help you. There is a nudist part yes!! Enjoy!!
