Beach holidays Gran Canaria

Wherever you choose to spend your beach holiday in Gran Canaria, the turquoise waters and golden beaches have the same welcoming landscape. A cheap beach holiday to Gran Canaria at one of the big resorts means thrills, beach fun and bar life. As with all good holiday islands, Gran Canaria feels cut-off, but not totally cast adrift from its roots.

Playa del Ingles is a bustling resort with an endless array of bars, restaurants and clubs. The sandy beach stretches for miles and there is a long palm-fringed promenade to see and be seen on.

San Agustin is a former fishing village on the fringes of Playa del Ingles and is a relatively quiet resort, ideal for a relaxing break in the sunshine. A selection of watersports is available from the beach and in the evenings there is a choice of local restaurants and bars to discover.

Costa Meloneras beach holidays offer spectacular rolling sand dunes, with the beach being the main attraction. The biggest attraction of Gáldar, along the coast, is El Museo y Parque Arquelógico Cueva Pintada, while beach lovers will adore the beautiful nearby cove at Sardina del Norte.

La Playa de Arguineguin

A typical Canarian fishing village, Arguineguin is more a home for locals than a tourist resort. Found to the southwest of Las Palmas, it has a couple of small beaches.
