If you are looking for a white-sand beach in Gran Canaria where you can sunbathe and spend a truly relaxing day, Amadores Beach is the ideal place for you. Located in the southwest of the island, in the municipality of Mogán, this paradise-like spot deserves a visit during your next holiday on the island.
One of the greatest attractions of Amadores Beach is its design. We are talking about an artificial bay which, thanks to its oval shape, is sheltered from sea currents.
It is quite sizeable. Amadores Beach has 800 metres of shoreline, protected by two convenient breakwaters. This makes it very calm in terms of waves and turns it into an excellent family-friendly area, especially for families with very young children.
Without a doubt, it is a safe and peaceful space. Although there are certain restrictions, such as smoking being prohibited or ball games not being allowed, visitors will find many services that make this destination a truly exceptional place to spend the day.
The Largest “Swimming Pool” in Gran Canaria
Specially designed to become a safe and peaceful setting, Amadores Beach offers plenty of entertainment. All visitors have the chance to spend a very fun day, whether enjoying the sand, sunbathing on loungers or taking part in activities in the water.
Things to Do
The water games on the different inflatables located along the bay are perfect for the little ones. They create a colourful play environment, which remains very stable thanks to the absence of waves or currents.
Another option you will find here is the rental of pedal boats, which allow you to explore the perimeter of the area while admiring the surrounding landscape.
You will also have the opportunity to enjoy water sports at Amadores Beach. Here, you can practise snorkelling, ideal both for children of a certain age and for adults.
