Fantastic experience: A pleasant place to relax. Rocky beach. When we were there, there was no access to the parking lot.
Positive experience: A beautiful stretch of beach, not very crowded because it is distant. There is a wooden promenade along its entire length, and at sunset it is really beautiful, much better than that of the city. It's a pity for the absence of any kind of bar or service in the area. Accessible only on foot, the car must be left much further back.
Positive experience: Confital Beach is a true hidden gem for those seeking a tranquil refuge in the midst of nature. With its wooden pathways winding along the coast, it is the perfect place for walking and enjoying stunning views while immersing yourself in the serenity of the surroundings. Additionally, it offers the opportunity to stay active with cardio sessions, whether running or walking with your four-legged companion, as it is a dog-friendly place. An ideal getaway to relax and connect with natural beauty in a peaceful and welcoming environment.
Positive experience: We couldn't access it because the road is closed due to construction, but it looks nice.
Fantastic experience: Great natural area, but keep in mind currently due to construction the access path from the coast is closed M-F 7:00-15:00. You can get to/from it by climbing up/down the mountain to Las Coloradas (you can take the 41 bus there) but you should be sure to be physically fit enough to descent and ascend comfortably or you will get stuck here until 15:00.

Fantastic experience: My favorite beach, especially on the weekend.......quiet, natural, dogs,....always to relax.
Fantastic experience: Me encanta esta playa y pueden ir las mascotas
Fantastic experience: Un lugar perfecto para pasear en la naturaleza. Una adaptación urbanística muy bonita e integrada con el ambiente que facilita un paseo cómodo en, y a la vez, fuera de la propia ciudad. Sólo le pido a los dueños de los perros que sean responsables y no dejen sus cacas en los caminos.
Fantastic experience: Atardeceres espectaculares que con suerte si está despejado puedes ver el Teide, tiene un paseo de madera dd la gente suele sentarse a verlos, pasear, hacer yoga y todo tipo de actividades al aire libre, esta playa es rocosa y muchas veces suelen haber perros bañándose, para mi no es la mejor opción para pasar un día de playa pero si lo que te apetece es caminar saliendo del centro comercial las arenas hasta aquí hay unos 6km aprox dd puedes disfrutar de un largo camino a la orilla del mar.

Negative experience: Currently construction work is underway, but it doesn't disturb. It's not a beach, more of a pebble desert; at the back end, nudism is possible. Strong waves and many stones in and around the water.
Positive experience: Friends, the Confital promenade is a beautiful place. With water shoes, during low tide, you can explore the secrets of the sea and the rocks. It is a very special and enjoyable experience. However... Google, presenting this space in the same way it presents Las Canteras beach, is confusing people. Confital is not a beach at all. It is neither flat, nor is there sand, nor is there an easy entry into the water... so it does not meet any criteria to be called a beach. Therefore, it remains a beautiful natural space worth visiting.
Fantastic experience: Would not call it „beach“ as there is no sand. But nice surfing spot or place to have a walk. Also when tide is low you ca search your own small water tub
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a sand beach with all the city beaches' facilities this isn't it. This is a rather wild area with spectacular colour and views as the sun go down. Bring some good shoes and explore the seaside , settle in one of the many natural pools and enjoy.
Negative experience: Sand is unpleasant. Rocky entrance to water. Dead crabs. Infrastructure is bad, only one toilet, no changing rooms, but there is an elevated wooden path. Nudist area is not separated at all from the main walk. Creepy heremit with barking dog lives in a runied hut.

Fantastic experience: Los bares son el recibidor acogedor, cautivador y conservador de los clientes en cualquier servicio gastronómico. Son refugio y cómplices. Pueden decidir la entrada o la partida. El agrado o la decepción. Las cartas de bebidas en un Bar-Restaurante constituyen la antesala de un buen servicio. Por ello debe tenerse presente que los bares se diferencian por sus funciones y ello emana que las ofertas que contengan sus menú se adecúen a las características del establecimiento. Por citar un ejemplo, en la carta de bebidas de un bar de playa deben primar bebidas y cócteles analcohólicos, refrescantes y energéticos; mientras que en la de un restaurante no deben faltar los aperitivos, digestivos y cócteles de sobremesa.
Fantastic experience: Playa muy poco intervenida, original y tranquila entre semana. Los accesos son fáciles tanto en coche como andando. No dispone, eso sí, de chiringuitos ni otros servicios.
Fantastic experience: A wonderful place, keep coming back, my favourite walkway. There are a few restaurants there
Positive experience: Confital al final de la bahía de confital puedes ver toda la playa de las canteras enfrente que al anochecer se ve precioso iluminado. Playa De difícil ascenso muy rocosa pero para darte un remojo hay huecos entre rocas y pozas naturales que te resguarda de las corrientes . No hay bares ni restaurantes en esta zona

Fantastic experience: Immerso nella natura, questo luogo è stato particolarmente baciato dalla Natura. Selvaggio con moderazione... raggiungibile con l'auto attraverso una strada non asfaltata, con diversi avvallamenti. Questa spiaggia con sabbia alternata fine e lavica a "risone" bianco, stile caraibico, offre la possibilità di nuotare fra scogli, stile piccoli camion, che degradano dentro il mare. WC e bagnino, passerelle nuove in legno, cestini in legno, piattaforme in granito rosso e grigio sono la dotazione di questa meravigliosa spiaggia, frequentata molto dagli abitanti locali.

Fantastic experience: Very nice beach. Beautiful pedestrian path for long walks near the sea. Also, you can access by car till car park. For an alternative path, you can walk in the hills. Beautiful view once you get to the top. Through this neighborhood you can also access an abandoned military area.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful place to have a walk, the water is very clear. Unfortunately, the WC next to the red cross was closed, probably because it's Sunday today. I saw many white popcorn-shaped objects on the beach. Would be appreciated if anyone could let me know what they are ;)

Fantastic experience: Super relajante, y buen sitio para caminar, correr, hacer yoga o bici. Situada junto a los barrios de La Isleta y Las Coloradas. Playa escogida para practicar el surf y bodyboard. De hecho, en esta playa se han celebrado diversos campeonatos mundiales de surf. Tiene un espectacular paseo que bordea la montaña con vistas a toda la playa de El Confital.

Confital Beach: Reviews
Positive experience: Stony/rocky beach. It was not possible to bathe at low tide. Nice walk to/from Las Palmas (5km one way)
Fantastic experience: A pleasant place to relax. Rocky beach. When we were there, there was no access to the parking lot.
Fantastic experience: Nice place to walk outdoors with a view of the sea and the promenade of Las Canteras
Positive experience: A beautiful stretch of beach, not very crowded because it is distant. There is a wooden promenade along its entire length, and at sunset it is really beautiful, much better than that of the city. It's a pity for the absence of any kind of bar or service in the area. Accessible only on foot, the car must be left much further back.
Fantastic experience: It's very beautiful and Yolanda, well, I felt when you get in, it feels cold, but then when you stay there, it's spectacular.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and big
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place to walk, take a dip, and enjoy the stunning views, plus you can bring your dog.
Fantastic experience: Fab silence and fab views
Positive experience: The worst beach in Las Palmas

Fantastic experience: Untouched natura 2000 area! Really nice for a hike
Fantastic experience: Spectacular. A charming place that deserves to be cared for with special attention. Sometimes I think that if they don't charge, it is not valued and what we have is not taken care of.
Fantastic experience: End plates
Positive experience: We couldn't access it because the road is closed due to construction, but it looks nice.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular walk
Fantastic experience: Great natural area, but keep in mind currently due to construction the access path from the coast is closed M-F 7:00-15:00.

Negative experience: Currently construction work is underway, but it doesn't disturb. It's not a beach, more of a pebble desert; at the back end, nudism is possible. Strong waves and many stones in and around the water.
Fantastic experience: Extraordinary public beach, you can swim in the small pools or lagoons that form between the rocks, because the waves are strong and it is dangerous to go into them. There is a certain section at the end of the beach that is used as a nudist beach.
Positive experience: Beach a bit off the north of Las Palmas with a bit of walking. No service or anything like that, and nicely located.
Fantastic experience: Easily accessible, the QR code at the bus stop shows you the real-time times for when the bus is coming.
Negative experience: The Playa del Confital was not accessible and was blocked off by construction fences. The access road is impassable due to construction work. Compliance with regulations was monitored by private security. There was only a view from 500 meters away. There was no information available.

Positive experience: CLOSED. UNTIL THE END OF 2023. We thought, hey naturist. But it's really difficult to get there. Cavemen present, acting like everything belongs to them?
Positive experience: Not for swimming, just for surfers
Fantastic experience: Fantastic wild beach in the city of Las Palmas
Fantastic experience: My favorite beach, especially on the weekend.......quiet, natural, dogs,....always to relax.
Fantastic experience: Gorgeous for a walking. We visited it on a windy day and it looked amazing, full of big waves.
Positive experience: Currently, there is construction here. Not accessible. It will surely be beautiful.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place on the island
Positive experience: It’s surprising to see how, at the end of Las Canteras beach, after a few meters, you come across this secluded beach, with some rocky sections and more exposed to the wind and the waves.
Fantastic experience: Cats are friendly, some of them allow you to pet them, but they all seem to enjoy the place.
Fantastic experience: A nice place
Fantastic experience: Would not call it „beach“ as there is no sand. But nice surfing spot or place to have a walk. Also when tide is low you ca search your own small water tub
Fantastic experience: Very nice place. A bit difficult to get down with baby stroller (or wheelchair) but you can use a dusty road instead of stairs. Definitely worth the visit ❤️
Fantastic experience: Very nice beach. Beautiful pedestrian path for long walks near the sea. Also, you can access by car till car park. For an alternative path, you can walk in the hills.

Fantastic experience: Great place to walk, cycle or run to from Las Palmas Town or the beach. Amazing views of the rugged coastline. You can trek up the hills too, but some areas fenced off as a military zone. Note that there are no facilities here at all - no water points or toilets.
Fantastic experience: Amazing view, not a lot of people. Although we came across a homeless person. The ocean is really untamed and wild here. Great for surfing.
Negative experience: Sand is unpleasant. Rocky entrance to water. Dead crabs. Infrastructure is bad, only one toilet, no changing rooms, but there is an elevated wooden path. Nudist area is not separated at all from the main walk. Creepy heremit with barking dog lives in a runied hut.
Fantastic experience: I highly encourage a walk to this wild cape if you want to momentarily escape the crowds. It takes only about half an hour from Las Canteras, but it feels like you have travelled much farther. The view onto Las Palmas is stunning.
Positive experience: Nice, Big waves, good for surfing. Free parking available altough road to it is a bit rough and there are sections when only 1 car can pass.
Fantastic experience: They’ve cleared the propped up buildings and invested in turning this into a pleasant public space with nice landscaping and a dedication to reinvigorating the ecology. They e done a good job and it’s a lovely element of any stroll around La Islet.
