Guayedra Beach

Information

Guayedra Beach is a stunning and secluded destination characterized by its rocky, black sand shores and breathtaking volcanic landscape. Visitors enjoy the tranquil atmosphere away from the tourist crowds, with opportunities for hiking and observing local wildlife like Canarian lizards. The beach is accessible via a somewhat challenging trek of about 15 to 20 minutes, which adds to its charm.

Despite its beauty, the beach has its drawbacks. Many users caution about strong currents that make swimming dangerous at times, particularly during high tide. The rocky nature of the beach means that there are limited areas of soft sand available, and some have remarked on the difficulty of the descent to the beach. It’s advisable to bring your own food and water, as amenities are scarce.

Overall, Guayedra Beach offers a unique natural experience, perfect for nature enthusiasts looking to escape busier locations.

Fantastic experience: Further up the roadside (no paved path) there are parking options, from there it is a relaxed 10-minute walk to the beach below. An easy path that can be managed even with sandals. Refreshing, clear water, manageable sand area for lounging, and naturism is not a problem. Recommended for relaxing and listening to the sound of the waves!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful little beach of big pebbles with some areas of black sand at the foot of the cliffs and a view of Teide, Tenerife Island. Not crowded at the end of November. Access via an easy track followed by a 15/20-minute walk.

Fantastic experience: Black sand beach, rather nudist, very nice. To access it, you need to take the dirt path for about 1 km. Be careful, the path is relatively narrow and you need to anticipate car crossings. There is the possibility to park near the viewpoint of Guayedra. However, there are few parking spaces. You then have to go down to the beach and bypass the apparently abandoned private campsite. You then access this black sand beach.

Fantastic experience: Beach about a 10-minute walk along an easy-to-reach path. Once the car is parked at the top where the road ends, you can easily reach two beaches. The first one is practically rocky and without sand, almost impractical. The second one is the true Guayedra Beach, a charming spot with fine black sand. Positive experience. Few people around, naturism is practiced here so if you feel uncomfortable, I would not recommend it as a place.

Negative experience: Access to the beach is very complicated. It's full of rocks, very uncomfortable, and there are strong waves. There were many more people than we expected. There are much nicer beaches on the island to want to return there :(

Positive experience: After a 1-hour hike from Agaete, we discovered a breathtaking rocky volcanic beach, offering peaceful beauty and a unique rugged landscape. Here you can also spot the Canaries lizards!!

Fantastic experience: Paraje natural dividido en dos playas, la primera de piedra volcánica y la segunda de arena negra. Para acceder a la playa se debe recorrer un camino de tierra en un estado nefasto para un vehículo. Al final de este camino hay un pequeño espacio con hueco para aparacar 5 o 6 coches. Después de eso, se debe continuar el camino de tierra a pie hasta la primera de las playas. Para acceder a la segunda, de arena negra, se debe continuar por el mismo sendero. El total del recorrido conlleva alrededor de 15 minutos. En la playa de piedras no nos bañamos debido al oleaje y que el acceso al agua es más complicado. La segunda playa es de arena fina, con un acceso al mar muy confortable. Aunque una vez dentro del agua puedes encontrar alguna que otra roca.

Fantastic experience: Great beach! We hiked here from Agaete, wonderful views. Waves can be big, suggesting to get in and out on the right side, there are fewer stones and smaller waves. Bring the banana, lizards love them! By the way, lizards are harmless, even if they are big.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, stunning sea and double beach, the first on the rocks and the second on the sand. The only downside is that it's close to the port, so when the ferry to the other islands passes, quite high waves are raised that last several minutes (however, the waves are high on their own).

Negative experience: We could go into the water and the water is very nice, however, there are extremely many lizards on the beach. I have no problem with lizards but here it was like a permanent, disgusting nuisance, as some of them are quite large and constantly crawl over to you. I would not recommend anyone to come here.

Negative experience: Nudist beach, difficult to access and very dangerous, with stones and a lot of waves. It is not worth making such a difficult trip and then not even going into the water. Not recommended. I will not go back. It is not worth it.

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasant visit! It was about a 15-minute walk down to the beach. It is a nice, soft black sand beach with an epic landscape. Sadly, there is little trash in the beautiful nature.

Negative experience: I don't understand how this beach has such a high rating. The road from the parking spot takes a very long time. The beach is quite dangerous if the waves are big, the beach is rocky and you can't lie down. I don't recommend it, there are other better options.

Fantastic experience: Yes, the beach is very beautiful, but it's not Guayedra, it's Playa del Negro. As always, I provide evidence; I attach a photo of the place, official cartographic map of the island of Gran Canaria (Cabildo de Gran Canaria).

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, many beautiful but shy lizards and crabs to observe, few people, swimming in the sea is rather not possible (waves and stones). About 1km on foot.

Fantastic experience: Stony beach, and a piece of brown beach. If the wind comes from the south, it is wonderfully sheltered, the place is not very crowded, you have to go down via a dirt path with the car until halfway, then via a trail you go down to the beach, going to the right while keeping the sea on the left. Total relaxation, completely in touch with a piece of unspoiled nature. The sea was not rough, you could swim and play with the waves. There are stone circles where you can find shelter. The view of these cliffs overlooking the sea is enchanting.

Negative experience: Dangerous beach with a strong current; in fact, several people have drowned here, and it's almost impossible to swim. Moreover, the car is parked far away, and the path down to the beach is full of landslides and slippery. Beautiful, but I wouldn't come back...

Fantastic experience: Really nice nudist beach. Unfortunately not all visitors are aware of that fact.

Fantastic experience: You need to drive over a muddy road and walk around 10 minutes down to visit this quite non touristic beach. We've seen around 10 people in total and stayed till sunset. And it was worth it!

Lee May 3 years ago

Positive experience: The path to the beach is quite okay but you'd better have proper walking shoes. The View on the way to the beach and at the beach from both left side and right Side is fantastic! There are lot stones and the waves are quite strong, I did not swim.
