Playa de Puerto Rico, Golden sand beach in Mogán, Spain
Playa de Puerto Rico is a wide sandy beach on the southern coast of Mogán with sheltered waters and fine golden sand that extends several hundred meters along the shore. The beach sits within easy reach of town and is lined with restaurants and service facilities.
The site developed from a small fishing village into a modern beach destination over the course of the 20th century as the region began attracting visitors. This transformation is still visible today in the blend of traditional fishing practices and tourism.
The beach connects to a working harbor where local fishermen operate daily and boats depart for visitors, shaping how this place feels to those who walk along the water. This maritime activity remains visible and central to the character of the location.
The beach has showers, restrooms, and loungers available during the season, plus numerous restaurants and cafes right along the water's edge. The gentle slope and manageable size make it straightforward to navigate, especially for families with children.
A sailing school operates here where beginners and experienced sailors can take lessons, and the harbor offers deep-sea fishing trips for those interested in more active pursuits. These water sports options draw people seeking adventure beyond just relaxing on sand.
