The best beach in Maspalomas is the El Oasis dune beach, which is surrounded on one side by the resort area of Playa del Ingles and on the other by the Costa Meloneras with its fashionable hotels.
To the east are the small, quiet beaches of Playa Bahia Feliz and Playa de San Agustin. On the coast beyond the dunes between Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas you'll find special beaches (nudist beach, gay beach), a surfers' area and large stretches of regular beach. The coastline here is quite long, gentle, the sand is fine, but not everywhere homogeneous - there are small round stones. The beach area is organized, you can rent an umbrella and a deck chair, and in kiosks and beach bars - drinks.
The water of the Atlantic Ocean is azure in color and clear. Lifeguards and police are on duty on the beach.
Beware that sometimes there is a strong wind that blows sand from the dunes into the air. During the wind, big waves start in the ocean. Swimming then is dangerous, especially for small children. However, children on Maspalomos beach are very excited to run, frolic and slide down the sand slides.
West of Maspalomos, 2.7 kilometers from the village of San Agustin, is Playa del Inglés beach, which attracts tourists not only for its magnificent dunes, but also for its combination of warm winds, noisy ocean and cooling breezes. A multi-kilometer strip along the ocean alternately alternates between naked and clothed sunbathers, but no one bothers anyone. Many vacationers walk along the shore and enjoy the beauty of nature. It is better to go to the beach in the morning through the dunes or after 16:00-17:00.
