Roque Prieto, Rock beach in Santa María de Guía de Gran Canaria, Spain
The 40-meter-long Roque Prieto features a natural swimming pool formed by volcanic rocks, creating protected areas for swimming against the Atlantic waves.
The natural pools of Roque Prieto were gradually constructed during the 20th century to provide safe swimming areas for local fishing communities.
Local residents gather at Roque Prieto during summer evenings for traditional swimming and social activities, maintaining connections with their maritime heritage.
Visitors can access Roque Prieto by following the GC-294 motorway signs, with parking available near the natural swimming pools.
The beach combines black volcanic rocks with engineered pools, allowing swimmers to experience ocean waters in protected conditions throughout the year.
