Playa del Inglés
Bordered by the beaches of San Agustín in the east and Maspalomas in the west, the 3 kilometres long Playa del Inglés is probably the most famous in Europe and also one of the most crowded throughout the year.
Located in the largest tourist area of the island – together with Maspalomas and San Agustín it is also the biggest holiday complex in all Spain – this fun-and-sun beach offers all sorts of leisure and sports activities such as jet-ski, sailing, windsurfing, water skiing and many, many more fun providing things to do. Basically, whatever you feel like doing... you'll find it here!
Be aware that some areas of this beach are popular with nudists and gays.
Should you get tired of the beach, there is an attractive pedestrian promenade for a nice and distracting stroll. The Paseo Costa Canaria is lined with lush tropical flora and luxurious villas and it runs all along the beach linking the Playa de las Burras further east with the point where the natural park of the Maspalomas dunes begins.
There is also the Paseo Marítimo, which – covered with awnings to protect you from the heat of the sun – is a 2 km (1.25 miles) a stretch plastered with all kinds of restaurants, snack bars, fast food outlets, amusement arcades, Irish pubs and German beer houses, Internet cafés, tattoo parlours and shops selling all kind of stuff.
