Playa de Amadores, White sand beach in Mogán, Spain

Playa de Amadores is a sand beach in Mogán, in the Canary Islands, with a pale surface and gentle entry into the sea. Two artificial breakwaters enclose the swimming area on both sides and create calmer water than neighboring stretches of coast.

The cove was built in the early 2000s as a planned project to extend the coastline in this municipality. The sand was brought from the Caribbean to create a pale surface that differs from the volcanic beaches in the area.

The beach takes its name from the Amadores ravine, and the cove itself is artificial, created in the early 2000s to extend the coastline of Puerto Rico. Its pale sand was shipped in from the Caribbean, so the surface differs from the dark volcanic beaches nearby. Today the promenade behind the sand is lined with restaurants and shops serving the beachgoers.

Chairs and umbrellas can be rented on site, along with equipment for water activities. Shops and restaurants line the promenade right behind the sand and offer food and drinks throughout the day.

The pale sand was shipped in from the Caribbean, so the beach looks different from the dark volcanic strands elsewhere on Gran Canaria. The bay lies in the municipality of Mogán, about 1,800 km southwest of Madrid, and the climate averages around 23 °C with only about 188 mm of rain a year.
