In short, Tasarte beach is a hidden treasure that offers an authentic and uncrowded experience in a stunning natural setting.

 

4. Veneguera: the very hidden bay

The beach is 370 metres long, but difficult to reach. It has to be reached by an unpaved road, so you’ll have to walk for about 30 minutes along a steep, rocky path.

 

Veneguera is a hidden gem on the west coast of Gran Canaria, offering an extraordinary experience and a tranquil, natural environment in a spectacular setting of cliffs and mountains.

 

5. Güi Güi: A secret paradise

The most remote and difficult to access beach is Güigüi. It’s one of the most unspoilt beaches on the island and is a hidden natural and protected spot. It’s without doubt a dream destination for those seeking an exceptional experience and a connection with nature in its purest state.

 

Its attraction is so strong that visitors must walk for about an hour and a half along a steep and rocky path, or access by sea. It’s important to take caution and be informed about the sea conditions before going into the water, given its strong currents.
