Playa de Cura, Urban beach in Mogán, Spain
Description
Playa de Cura is an urban beach in Mogán that stretches about 193 meters along the coast, roughly 34 meters wide. The shore has sandy sections with olive-colored sand on the eastern end and rockier zones where stones meet the water.
History
The beach was developed in the second half of the 20th century as part of Gran Canaria's coastal growth. This transformation turned the original shoreline into a modern swimming destination.
Culture
Locals frequent this beach regularly to swim and relax with family and friends, making it a common gathering spot in the community. The setting feels like a place where everyday seaside routines play out, rather than a tourist-focused destination.
Practical
The beach has showers, restrooms, and sometimes rental services for loungers and parasols, mainly in the eastern section. Visitors should note that facility availability varies depending on the season and day of the week.
Did you know?
The beach has an interesting mix of sand and stones, with finer material in the east and larger rocks in the west. These different textures resulted from natural erosion and volcanic activity in the region.
