El Médano, Surfing beach in Granadilla de Abona, Spain
El Médano beach forms a half-moon shape between the Red Mountain and an artificial pier, featuring golden sand and moderate waves throughout the year.
The location has transformed from its origins as a fishing settlement into a notable water sports destination in the Canary Islands during the past decades.
The central town square functions as a gathering point for local celebrations, featuring traditional Canarian music, food festivals, and annual firework displays.
The beach maintains facilities including showers, restrooms, equipment rentals, and direct access to restaurants, with temperatures averaging 24 degrees Celsius year-round.
Three distinct windsurfing zones characterize the area: the Bay for flat water, the Harbor Wall for side waves, and Cabezo Beach for onshore wave riding.
