San Agustín, Urban beach in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Spain.

San Agustín is an urban beach on the southern coast of Gran Canaria featuring golden sand that stretches 670 meters with a width of about 70 meters. The Atlantic waters meet the shore in a gentle transition where the flat sand creates good swimming conditions.

The beach transformed from a quiet coastal area into a tourist destination beginning in the mid-20th century. This shift brought infrastructure and services that now define the experience here.

The beach functions as a gathering place where visitors find food stalls serving regional cuisine and local festivities draw crowds throughout the year. Daily life here reflects how people blend leisure time with eating and socializing along the shore.

The area is easily accessible by road and offers sunbed rentals, showers, first aid facilities, and waste management for visitors. These conveniences make spending a full day here straightforward.

The water maintains steady temperatures around 23°C throughout the year, allowing comfortable swimming regardless of the season. This consistency means the sea feels welcoming no matter when you visit.

Hidden beaches in Mexico: wild swimming, fishing villages, secret coves

Mexico has beaches that stay away from the crowds of common tourist spots. They stretch from the sheltered bays of Quintana Roo, where sea turtles come to lay eggs, to the quiet coasts of Baja California Sur. These places keep their natural feel: clear waters, coral reefs filled with colorful fish, and the daily rhythm of local fishermen. To get to many of these beaches, you need to take a boat or walk along a trail, making them places only the truly curious travel to. In the south of the country, near Jalisco and Guerrero, other beaches remain wild. They offer white or gray sandy shores lined with limestone rocks or rainforests. Small fishing villages along the coast stay authentic: the residents sell their catch directly on the sand, and seafood restaurants serve fresh catches. There are no large hotel complexes or busy coastal roads. Most visitors here are looking for quiet and nature, away from the busy seaside resorts.
