Gran Canaria for 
Beach activities
The long Gran Canaria coast, with its extraordinary beaches of golden sand and small hidden bays, is the ideal place to relax.
Reading a good book, taking a long stroll along the shore or simply sunbathing on a sunbed are some of the pleasures a day on the beach has to offer.
But for our more active visitors, Gran Canaria has beaches prepared for practising different water sports. Deep sea diving is very popular on the northern and eastern coasts of the Island, and surface sports, such as water-skiing, windsurfing or surfing are other possibilities provided by most of the beaches in Gran Canaria for our most adventurous visitors.
Leisure activities such as boat or submarine rides also attract visitors to the south of the island.
Furthermore, during the summer months, there are kite flying, sand sculpting or sports competitions, such as beach-volley and beach-football, on most of the island’s beaches.
