Negative experience: This beach is in a hotel context in the middle between Puerto de Mogan (a beautiful place to see) and Puerto Rico (a well-maintained location). I must say that the beach is very small with black sand; the sea in this cove is very calm, certainly suitable for families with children. Even during peak hours, there aren’t many people. My rating is low, especially for the entrance to the beach from the parking lot side, which is not taken care of at all. When we went, there was trash scattered here and there. Other than that, you can eat something at the restaurants next to the beach.

Positive experience: Nice beach. The sandy beach is not large but very pleasant to stay, quiet and a very large area of shallow water with many small fish. It's really nice to swim here. You can park for free on the street by the spar (and other shops) and it's less than a 10-minute walk. Keep in mind that there are no toilets at the beach. There is a restaurant by the beach.

Positive experience: Cura beach is made of pebbles, and has a section of golden sand. The water is full of small stones, so be careful. You can park a bit further up where the Espar supermarket is for free. It is a rather small beach flanked by several large hotels.

Fantastic experience: Spiaggia deliziosa e tranquilla durante la settimana inserita in un contesto selvaggio e peculiare per la presenza.di baracche che giungono quasi alla spiaggia stessa. Oggi esperienza negativa ... Sono stato assalito da.un cane spuntato dal nulla senza padrone fortuna che il cagnolone era buono voleva giocare ma.mi ha lasciato molti graffi perché mi ha preso alla sprovvista

Manuel J. Arencibia Jimenez 2 years ago

Positive experience: Buena playa especialmente en marea baja. En marea alta tiene poca arena seca. La zona de la derecha tiene rocas en el agua, la parte izquierda es mucho mejor para el baño. No hay zonas para comer, baños ni servicios junto a la playa. Hay un pequeño centro comercial, que está bien junto a la carretera. Muy cerca, con marea baja, se puede acceder caminando por las rocas, hacia la izquierda, a la playa de Tauro, que es mejor playa. También sin servicios, y aun con existencia de chabolas.

Positive experience: If you want to be really calm, this place is perfect. It's easy to take the bus around the island if you wish. We won't be going back if anyone is wondering. Playground: Didn't see anyone in two months. Toilets: There are no public ones. Dog admission: Absolutely not.

Positive experience: The beach is simple but actually good as it is not as crowded as the two neighboring beaches in Puerto Rico or Mogan; you can always find a spot. The place itself doesn't have much to offer; there is a supermarket, a few restaurants, and on both sides, there are not particularly nice residential and hotel complexes to admire. In the evening, when all the lights are on, the view becomes more beautiful. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, this is a great place to be.

Positive experience: Nice beach, with pleasant Mediterranean sea water, very crowded, but for me, it doesn't feel that nice since we are talking about a small beach, both the accessible sea area and the sandy area. There is a nice area along its span with shops, bars, and restaurants. Torrevieja has several beaches and some better ones, but the area is very pretty.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic, nice, and quiet cove where you can find everything you might need. Several small restaurants and a large Spar store where you can get most things including fresh produce. A favorite spot to come back to.

Positive experience: Many restaurants and bars with music. Good bus services to all the important places. Beach with sunbeds. The sea can have waves, be careful with children and non-swimmers. Lifeguard on duty with flags.

Fantastic experience: Ruhiger öffentlicher Strand mit Rettungsschwimmer. Am Wochenende durch Einwohner etwas beliebter. Selbst die angrenzenden Hotelgäste benutzen ihn nur gelegentlich. Liegen und Sonnenschirme zu moderaten Preisen.

Positive experience: Buena playa de arena con 3 entradas con rampa y escaleras y grifos de pie para limpiarse. Hay socorristas cosa que agradezco mucho. A pesar de ser agosto había poca gente así que genial

Positive experience: Un buen sitio si deseas un descanso vacacional, playa de arena entre gris y negra, piedras y calas. Dispone de un muy corto paseo marítimo que, en uno de sus extremos justo donde finaliza, puedes continuar hacia la vecina playa de Tauro. Servicio de hamacas y sombrillas, lava pies y servicio de socorrista. Se encuentran dos hoteles en la zona y complejos de apartamentos hoteleros. Cuenta con un pequeño centro comercial donde puedes encontrarte restaurantes, cafetería y algún que otro bar, dispone de un supermercado Spar y un buen acceso al transporte público, tanto para ir en dirección a Las Palmas como en dirección a Mogán.

Fantastic experience: Una playa estupenda que no suele tener mucha gente. Las mareas son buenas ya que van hacia la costa, con lo cual el riesgo de que esta te lleve a lo lejos es prácticamente inexistente. Cuando la marea sube, la playa queda muy reducida, por eso, lo mejor es ir con marea baja, pero se está genial. El agua es fresca y no es una playa con muchas algas ni piedras, el mejor sitio para entrar al agua es la mitad de la playa. Se pueden hacer distintos deportes acuáticos como padelsurf o bugui.

Positive experience: €3.5 for a sunbed without a parasol. Few people in November. Could be a bit cleaner. Lifeguard present. No service. 3 minutes walk to a Spar store. No toilet facilities unless you are staying at one of the nearby hotels.

Fantastic experience: Very quiet resort. Lovely supermarket and shop with everything you need. Staff are friendly. Several restaurants in the resort can't fault the ones we've eaten in. If you prefer a man made beach, a short walk across some low rocks at the end of the local beach, and you're there. Excellent bus service to other parts of the island.

Fantastic experience: An amazing place overall! Amazing beach, stunning view at the sunset, one of the best I've ever seen. I went here on January so it was pretty quiet and with mostly elderly people so it was super calm with not so many attractions especially at night so you might want to consider for other nearby areas like Puerto Rico (although I was exactly looking for something super quiet). It might be busier other times in the year, but I definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Gran Canaria!

Positive experience: Lovely little bay. Very safe for children, great sand dark coloured not golden but very fine sand. You can walk out to shoulder level with firm sand under foot & the water is so clear. The sun is captured all day in this little bay from early morning to early evening when there is often beautiful sunsets. Would be 5* if there was a cafe & toilet. Sunbeds & umbrellas are available. There are a couple of restaurants, a cafe & Irish bar just 2 minute walk from the sea.
