Maspalomas, Golden sand beach in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Spain.

The Maspalomas beach extends for 2710 meters along the southern coast of Gran Canaria, featuring wide stretches of golden sand and clear blue waters.

The construction of the 55-meter Maspalomas lighthouse began in 1861, marking the beginning of navigation assistance between Europe, Africa, and America in this region.

The beach includes designated naturist sections between specific beach bars, reflecting the open and accepting nature of the local coastal culture.

The Blue Flag certified beach provides multiple facilities including parking spaces, restaurants, showers, sunbeds, and accessible amenities for visitors with reduced mobility.

The protected Maspalomas Natural Dune Reserve contains three distinct ecosystems: Palmeral palm grove, Charca lagoon, and the wind-sculpted sand dunes.
