Playa de Vargas

The natural formation of black volcanic sand and pebbles stretches along the eastern coastline of Gran Canaria, bordered by stone shelters.

The beach developed into a significant water sports destination during the late 20th century when windsurfing gained popularity in the Canary Islands.

Local wind sport enthusiasts gather at this location throughout the year, creating a dedicated community of skilled athletes who practice their techniques.

Access to Playa de Vargas requires taking exit 25 from the GC-1 motorway, with direct parking facilities available near the shoreline.

The adjacent campsite allows visitors to pitch tents directly behind the beach, making it one of the few coastal camping locations in Gran Canaria.
