Another of the best tourist destinations to enjoy the sunset in Gran Canaria is Playa de las Canteras, which is known for being one of the main commercial and leisure areas of the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Here you can watch the sunset, while you enjoy walking along the seashore or on one of the many terraces that line the promenade.
Cala de Tiritaña
Cala de Tiritaña is a beautiful “almost hidden” enclave, located near Taurito (Mogán). You can access its beach by going down the path from the cliff. If you had visited Puerto de Mogán for its tranquility, Cala de Tiritaña will undoubtedly be a peaceful place for those who want to watch the sunset in Gran Canaria without the hustle and bustle of tourist or urban areas.
Roque Faneque
The Cliff is considered one of the highest in the world and, due to its location, in the west of the island, offers probably the best sunset in Gran Canaria from the heights. From there you can see the Port of Agaete and the beginning of the Pinar de Tamadaba Natural Park.
If you want other sunset views other than those of the beaches or tourist ports, head northwest, taking the road that connects Agaete with La Aldea. On the way, you will find a sign indicating which direction you should take to get to Roque Faneque. When you find the path, go straight until you reach the cliff and prepare your camera because you will not be able to stop taking photos of the landscape.
