Choosing your stretch of Grandes Playas

Grandes Playas is a collection of beaches beside the Corralejo dunes. The individual stretches have different characters. Bajo Negro has sunbed and parasol hire, while El Médano is known for windsurfing and kiteboarding. Smaller coves towards the south attract visitors looking for quieter surroundings and naturist areas.

Choose a stretch to suit the day’s conditions and the facilities you need. Services described for one beach should not be assumed to apply along the whole coastline.

Access and the dunes

The coastal road gives access to the beaches, with parking alongside. Use the designated access points and leave the surrounding dunes undisturbed. Views towards Lobos and Lanzarote are part of the attraction.

Check weather at Grandes Playas, or compare the north-coast beach guides.
