Las Palmas de Gran Canaria stands out for the uniqueness of its beaches:
Las Canteras, one of the most important urban beaches in Spain, has won several national and international quality awards, including the Q for Tourism Quality. It stretches from La Puntilla to the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium, a three-kilometre route in which several areas can be distinguished, each with its own peculiarities.
El Confital beach is located on the peninsula of La Isleta, a protected natural landscape, and is the natural extension of Las Canteras beach. It is admired for the cleanliness of its waters, the beauty of its rocks and cliffs and the tranquillity it offers to swimmers.
Next to the city's sports dock, bordered by a promenade and flanked by two of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria's yacht clubs, is Las Alcaravaneras beach. The tranquillity of its waters, sheltered by Puerto de La Luz and Las Palmas, allows the practice of different sports at sea.
