Playa de Meloneras, Golden sand beach in Maspalomas, Spain

Playa de Meloneras lines the southern coast of Gran Canaria with a blend of golden sand and pebbles spread across its shoreline. The beach measures roughly 68 meters wide, creating an intimate setting where you can easily reach nearby restaurants, shops, and accommodation without walking far.

The beach underwent significant development in the 1990s as tourism expanded across the Maspalomas region. This transformation turned a quiet fishing area into a destination that now welcomes visitors daily.

This beach has deep roots in the fishing community and remains a gathering place where people connect with the sea and each other. The surrounding promenade buzzes with local life, drawing both travelers and residents throughout the day.

Sun loungers, showers, restrooms, and a first-aid station are available on the beach for visitor use. Everything you need—food, drinks, rentals—is within easy walking distance along the promenade.

Water temperatures remain warm enough for swimming year-round, allowing water sports across every season. This consistency makes it a dependable spot for ocean activities no matter when you visit.
