The beaches of Gran Canaria are wonderful and a delight for the senses of all those who visit the island every year. Some come looking for quiet beaches where they can relax and sunbathe, others look for more busy beaches with services that allow them to spend a pleasant day. And then there are those who look for innermost beaches in a wild environment, such as Playa del Cabrón.
Far from being as famous as the renowned beaches such as Playa del Inglés or Maspalomas or closer, such as the beaches of Melenara and La Garita in Telde, El Cabrón is different. This beach has something that these more well-known beaches don't have, and that’s the tranquillity and the wilder side that is still preserved.
In this post, we want to highlight this hidden paradise on the island Gran Canaria. Playa del Cabrón is a perfect place for all nature lovers who enjoy wild landscapes and diving.
Beach del Cabrón
Playa del Cabrón beach is located in the coastal town of Arinaga, in the village of Agüimes, just 30 minutes from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Its name, although it may seem rather vulgar (since cabrón is a swearword in Spanish), has its origins in the conquest of the Canary Islands. It's mainly due to an episode the pirate Pedro Hernández Cabrón, who arrived at the island around 1483, went through.
When you arrive at Playa del Cabrón, you’ll discover a 290 m long and 27 m wide charming beach, with fine golden sand.
However, without a doubt, the best thing about this beach is its transparent waters. Playa del Cabrón has practically no waves, thanks to the small reed that protects it from the surge. Except for some days when the wind blows a little stronger, the rest are calm and peaceful.
As it is a beach within a protected environment, El Cabrón doesn't have its own services like other beaches in the surrounding area. Nearby, there's only a small fishing village, but there are no bars, restaurants or supermarkets.
You also won't find a parking to leave your vehicle, or sun loungers, parasols or toilets. You'll be in the middle of nature and completely away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds.
If you're going to spend the day on the beach, our recommendation is that you bring food from home or buy it in the area around Arinaga, just before accessing the beach. Don't forget to bring shades because there are no shady places on El Cabrón to shelter from the sun.
What to do at Playa del Cabrón
At Playa del Cabrón, apart from enjoying an intense day at the beach in a 100% natural environment, you'll also be able to enjoy one of the best seabeds on the island.
For those who want to go one step further than snorkelling and discover the wonderful marine flora and fauna of the area, the best thing to do is to go scuba diving on the left side of the beach, where you'll find one of the best marine reserves in Gran Canaria and the whole world, with more than 400 marine species.
If, on the other hand, you don't have a diving course or don't have the right equipment to dive, we recommend you to go snorkelling because you can't miss out on the wonders hidden in the waters of Playa del Cabrón.
In addition to all the wonders of nature that the beach has to offer, it also has archaeological and historical attractions. Nearby, there are two attached lime kilns that were built with hewn stone and stones from the surrounding area and measure around 15 metres in height.
Another thing you can do at Playa del Cabrón is to visit the lighthouse Faro de Arinaga, just before reaching the beach. This lighthouse was built in 1887 and covered a large unmarked area from La Isleta to Mapalomas.
When you reach it, you can enjoy privileged views of both Playa del Cabrón and the entire coastline of Arinaga and, if you prefer, you can enjoy the best seafood dishes with these stunning views in the background at the Faro de Arinaga Restaurant.
How to get to Playa del Cabrón
To get to Playa del Cabrón with your own vehicle, from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, take the GC-100 and take the Cruce de Arinaga exit.
Bear in mind that the access to the beach by car is via an unpaved road. Even though, it's currently in good condition, and it won't take you more than 5 minutes to get to the beach from the centre of Arinaga.
If, on the other hand, you want to get to Playa del Cabrón by public transport, take bus number 8 from San Telmo station and get off at the Cruce de Arinaga stop.
From there, to get to the beach, you have to take an intercity bus that'll leave you at the beginning of the road, but don't worry, it's only a 10-minute walk, and you'll be able to see the whole coastline.
Playa del Cabrón beach: nature in its purest form
As you've read in this post, Playa del Cabrón is a real paradise that very few people know about.
Relegated to a small corner of the island, it's known only to those who love diving and know the area inside out, which has a lot to offer. Apart from the marvellous marine reserve, both tourists and all the inhabitants of the island enjoy everything Playa del Cabrón has to offer.
El Cabrón is nature in its purest state. It's a beach that hasn't seen the hand of man take sides and modify its essence. It has remained practically intact, in a small corner of the south coast of Gran Canaria, with much to see and compete against.
In short, if you're spending a few days on the island, don't hesitate to visit Playa del Cabrón and the surrounding area to enjoy an experience in the heart of nature that you are sure to fall in love with.

It combines the wildest and most rugged side of its coasts, with its characteristic waves due to the prevailing winds. It also stands out for its natural spots of enormous scenic beauty that some beaches have, like <strong>El Agujero in Galdar</strong>.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Far from the media spotlight of other beaches in the area, such as <strong>Playa de Sardina</strong>, <strong>El Juncal</strong> or <strong>Agaete</strong>, <strong>El Agujero</strong> is set in an ideal environment, with few tourists. It’s considered one of the largest natural swimming pools in the north and one of the best beaches for <strong>bodyboarding</strong>.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Today we’ve come to highlight this beach, which may be unknown to the public. However, for many people who live on the island or in the municipalities surrounding Galdar, El Agujero is no secret.</span></p><h2 class="text-2xl" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">The Beach of El Agujero in Galdar</span></h2><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">This beach is located in the northern municipality of Galdar, just a few metres from the historic centre of the village and about 20 minutes by car from the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">The beach is approximately <strong>150 metres long and 10 metres wide</strong>. It has a very <strong>beautiful dark sand</strong> made up of pebbles, rock and sand that form a very characteristic mixture that can be found in very few areas of the island.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">We must also bear in mind that <strong>El Agujero in Galdar </strong>is a beach located in the north of the island, which means that the <strong>winds </strong>are strong and gusty most of the year, so be specially careful while swimming there.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">It has a <strong>small promenade</strong> that connects the beach with the <strong>natural pools</strong>. You should bear in mind that, despite being a <strong>semi-urban beach</strong>, it doesn't have many services such as showers, footbaths, hammocks or shades.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">However, among its few services, just a few metres from the beach, there's a legendary bar in the area, <strong>Bar Tú Mismo</strong>, where you can buy drinks or snacks to enjoy your day at the beach.</span></p><h2 class="text-2xl" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">What to do at the beach</span></h2><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;"><strong>Playa del Agujero</strong> is much more than just a beach to go to sunbathe and hang out. It's a beach where you can do <strong>various activities</strong> that we’ll present to you, so you can enjoy your day to the fullest.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Thanks to its winds, Agujero is an excellent place for activities such as <strong>kite flying</strong>. If you like this sport, you’re in the ideal place to launch your kites into the air.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">However, the beach El <strong>Agujero </strong>in <strong>Galdar </strong>is known for hosting <strong>one of the most important championships in the world of bodyboarding, the Frontón King</strong>. The area known as the frontón, at one end of the beach, is considered to be the best left wave in the world.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Every year, the most famous bodyboarders in the world gather on the beach to compete in one of the <strong>World Cup</strong> events that put Galdar on the world surfing map.</span></p><figure class="image"><img src="https://villagrancanaria.com/cms/uploads/El_Agujero_1.jpeg" alt="el agujero"></figure><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Therefore, if you're a wave lover, <strong>El Agujero</strong> is undoubtedly the beach for you. At the same time, you must bear in mind that it's a dangerous area due to the strong currents and because it's a place full of rocks, so be especially careful not to hurt yourself and don’t go swimming by your own.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">You should know that <strong>El Agujero isn't a beach suitable for scuba diving or snorkelling</strong> due to the strong currents and rough seas. For this type of practice, you have a beach that is ideal for it: Playa de Sardina. </span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Similarly, <strong>you can’t practise nudism at El Agujero in Gáldar.</strong> </span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">In addition to all the things you can do on the beach, <strong>El Agujero has a little secret</strong>, just a few metres from the beach. The <strong>La Guancha archaeological site</strong> is one of the most important ones in the Canary Islands.</span></p><h2 class="text-2xl" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">How to get to El Agujero</span></h2><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Getting to Agujero Beach i<strong>sn’t very complicated</strong>, and it doesn't take more than half an hour.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">From Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, you can take the <strong>GC-2</strong> towards Galdar. Once you've reached the old town, take the <strong>GC-202</strong>, which is the nearest road to the beach.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Don't worry, <strong>you won't get lost</strong> at any time, as the <strong>accesses </strong>are <strong>well signposted</strong>.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">It won't take you more than 5 minutes to get there. When you arrive, you'll discover that you can <strong>leave your vehicle without any problems</strong>, as there are large parking areas, and you can access the beach <strong>on foot</strong>.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">If you want to get to the <strong>beach by bus</strong>, you're in luck, as from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, at <strong>San Telmo Station</strong>, you can take a bus (<strong>103</strong> or <strong>105 </strong>from the company <strong>Global</strong>) that’ll drop you off at the station in Galdar.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">When you arrive at the station, you'll have to take another intercity bus that'll take you to the <strong>Agujero in Galdar</strong>. The line you have to take is <strong>line 4 </strong>from the company <strong>Guaguas Gumidafe, </strong>and you can catch the bus at the same station. </span></p><h2 class="text-2xl" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">The beach Playa del Agujero: a treasure</span></h2><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">The north of the island has some very famous and popular beaches, such as <strong>Playa de Sardina</strong>, <strong>El Puertillo</strong> or <strong>San Felipe</strong>. All of them have something that attracts not only people who live on the island, but also tourists due to their <strong>wild nature</strong>.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">However, <strong>Playa del Agujero</strong> is a beach that has long been in the background. It's a real <strong>treasure</strong>, frequented mainly by people from the village or the surrounding area, as well as all those who love bodyboarding.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">In short, we hope that you've been able to get to know a little more about <strong>El Agujero in Galdar,</strong> and that you can enjoy <strong>all the possibilities</strong> it offers in an incomparable setting in the north of Gran Canaria.</span></p>" ["titulo_de_pagina"]=> string(67) "Beach and natural pools of El Agujero in Gáldar - VillaGranCanaria" ["metatag_descripcion"]=> string(137) "El Agujero beach in Gáldar and its natural pools are one of the best kept secrets of the coast of Gran Canaria.

When you arrive in Tasartico you have to follow a dirt road until you reach a sign indicating the length of the route: about 5 kilometres one way and about 5 kilometres return. The route is well waymarked, so you shouldn’t get lost.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">The duration of the trail will vary depending on your physical condition, how loaded you are (since in Güigüi there’s no place to buy things, you’ll have to bring everything yourself), the time you start the trail (it’s advisable to leave early to avoid the hottest hours of the day and carry plenty of water), etc.</p><h3 class="text-xl" style="text-align:justify;">How to get to the beach Playa de Güigüi by boat</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">This is, without a doubt, the ultimate solution if you don’t want to make the journey on foot. Thus, from any of the nearest ports (La Aldea, Mogán, Puerto Rico or Arguineguín) you can hire an excursion company or negotiate personally with a fisherman, so he can bring you to Güigüi with his boat and return a few days later.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Even if you choose this alternative, make sure to bring extra provisions, since in bad weather it’ll be difficult for the boats to arrive, which has happened before. Regardless of the option selected, spending a few days in this paradise is a unique experience.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Watching the sunset on top of a dune with Mount Teide in the background, waking up to the sound of birds at dawn and taking a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waters is priceless. And by the way, Güigüi is divided into two sections, so to go from one to another you have to take into account the tides.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Now that you know how to get to the beach Playa de Güigüi... are you ready to visit the wildest side of the island of Gran Canaria?</p>" ["titulo_de_pagina"]=> string(64) "▷ How to get to Güigüí beach 【GUIDE】 - VillaGranCanaria" ["metatag_descripcion"]=> string(154) "Find out here ⬆️ how to get to Güigüí beach in Gran Canaria on foot or by boat. ✅ Get to know one of the best kept secrets on the island's coast!"

Nevertheless, there are plenty of restaurants where international gastronomy can be found.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><h2 class="text-3xl m-0 mb-3">What to do in Gran Canaria with children</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">For a different and fun family holiday, there is nothing better than a visit to Gran Canaria.

Some of the most practiced sports on the island are:</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><h3 class="text-2xl m-0 mb-3">Golf</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">Gran Canaria provides fully equipped infrastructures and top-class courses adapted for all handicaps designed by world champions and reputed architects like Salobre Golf.

Museo Elder</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">The Elder Museum of Science and Technology has one rule that everyone who enters the museum must obey: it is strictly forbidden not to touch. Young and old alike will have a great time in a 100% interactive museum.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><h2 class="text-3xl m-0 mb-3">Nightlife in Gran Canaria</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">If nightlife is your thing, Gran Canaria is the place to go, with a vibrant and fun atmosphere throughout the cities on the island. Choose from a range of pubs, bars, clubs and discos, in cities like Las Palmas, Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas and Meloneras.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">In fact, in certain areas the island seems to never sleep, and parties deep into the night.

We're going to tell you how to get to Güigüi beach, so that you can experience it first-hand.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">But first things first. Güigüi is located in the municipality of La Aldea de San Nicolás, straddling the coastline that runs from the beach of Tasartico to the beach of La Aldea.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Güigüi is a landscape of eroded and aged surface. It’s a legendary and ancient place with a unique flora and fauna. Its forms, shaped by nature, have left traces of great depth and infinite beauty in this part of Gran Canaria.</p><h2 class="text-2xl" style="text-align:justify;">How to get to Playa de Güigüi </h2><p style="text-align:justify;">Nowadays, there are almost no virgin beaches in Gran Canaria, but Güigüi is one of them. Well, it’s sectioned into two beaches: the Chica and the Grande, both located at the respective mouths of the watersheds known by the same names.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">In Güigüi you can swim in an impressive and very special environment, since it was declared Special Natural Reserve and Area of Ecological Sensitivity by the Government of the Canary Islands for its special characteristics, without any type of construction and almost no people around.</p><h3 class="text-xl" style="text-align:justify;">How to get to the beach Playa de Güigüí on foot</h3><figure class="image m-1 w-full max-w-full flex flex-wrap justify-center mx-auto"><img class="border my-3" src="https://villagrancanaria.com/cms/uploads/Guigui_1.jpeg" alt="guigui"></figure><p style="text-align:justify;">The complicated access to Güigüi is the biggest challenge for those who want to spend a few special days in this wonderful place. To get to Güigüi on foot you have to sweat, have patience and, above all, be prepared for a long hiking route.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">First you have to go by car or bus to the small village of Tasartico, located about an hour and a half from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. When you arrive in Tasartico you have to follow a dirt road until you reach a sign indicating the length of the route: about 5 kilometres one way and about 5 kilometres return. The route is well waymarked, so you shouldn’t get lost.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">The duration of the trail will vary depending on your physical condition, how loaded you are (since in Güigüi there’s no place to buy things, you’ll have to bring everything yourself), the time you start the trail (it’s advisable to leave early to avoid the hottest hours of the day and carry plenty of water), etc.</p><h3 class="text-xl" style="text-align:justify;">How to get to the beach Playa de Güigüi by boat</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">This is, without a doubt, the ultimate solution if you don’t want to make the journey on foot. Thus, from any of the nearest ports (La Aldea, Mogán, Puerto Rico or Arguineguín) you can hire an excursion company or negotiate personally with a fisherman, so he can bring you to Güigüi with his boat and return a few days later.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Even if you choose this alternative, make sure to bring extra provisions, since in bad weather it’ll be difficult for the boats to arrive, which has happened before. Regardless of the option selected, spending a few days in this paradise is a unique experience.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Watching the sunset on top of a dune with Mount Teide in the background, waking up to the sound of birds at dawn and taking a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waters is priceless. And by the way, Güigüi is divided into two sections, so to go from one to another you have to take into account the tides.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Now that you know how to get to the beach Playa de Güigüi... are you ready to visit the wildest side of the island of Gran Canaria?</p>" ["titulo_de_pagina"]=> string(64) "▷ How to get to Güigüí beach 【GUIDE】 - VillaGranCanaria" ["metatag_descripcion"]=> string(154) "Find out here ⬆️ how to get to Güigüí beach in Gran Canaria on foot or by boat. ✅ Get to know one of the best kept secrets on the island's coast!"

We're going to tell you how to get to Güigüi beach, so that you can experience it first-hand.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">But first things first. Güigüi is located in the municipality of La Aldea de San Nicolás, straddling the coastline that runs from the beach of Tasartico to the beach of La Aldea.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Güigüi is a landscape of eroded and aged surface. It’s a legendary and ancient place with a unique flora and fauna. Its forms, shaped by nature, have left traces of great depth and infinite beauty in this part of Gran Canaria.</p><h2 class="text-2xl" style="text-align:justify;">How to get to Playa de Güigüi </h2><p style="text-align:justify;">Nowadays, there are almost no virgin beaches in Gran Canaria, but Güigüi is one of them. Well, it’s sectioned into two beaches: the Chica and the Grande, both located at the respective mouths of the watersheds known by the same names.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">In Güigüi you can swim in an impressive and very special environment, since it was declared Special Natural Reserve and Area of Ecological Sensitivity by the Government of the Canary Islands for its special characteristics, without any type of construction and almost no people around.</p><h3 class="text-xl" style="text-align:justify;">How to get to the beach Playa de Güigüí on foot</h3><figure class="image m-1 w-full max-w-full flex flex-wrap justify-center mx-auto"><img class="border my-3" src="https://villagrancanaria.com/cms/uploads/Guigui_1.jpeg" alt="guigui"></figure><p style="text-align:justify;">The complicated access to Güigüi is the biggest challenge for those who want to spend a few special days in this wonderful place. To get to Güigüi on foot you have to sweat, have patience and, above all, be prepared for a long hiking route.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">First you have to go by car or bus to the small village of Tasartico, located about an hour and a half from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. When you arrive in Tasartico you have to follow a dirt road until you reach a sign indicating the length of the route: about 5 kilometres one way and about 5 kilometres return. The route is well waymarked, so you shouldn’t get lost.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">The duration of the trail will vary depending on your physical condition, how loaded you are (since in Güigüi there’s no place to buy things, you’ll have to bring everything yourself), the time you start the trail (it’s advisable to leave early to avoid the hottest hours of the day and carry plenty of water), etc.</p><h3 class="text-xl" style="text-align:justify;">How to get to the beach Playa de Güigüi by boat</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">This is, without a doubt, the ultimate solution if you don’t want to make the journey on foot. Thus, from any of the nearest ports (La Aldea, Mogán, Puerto Rico or Arguineguín) you can hire an excursion company or negotiate personally with a fisherman, so he can bring you to Güigüi with his boat and return a few days later.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Even if you choose this alternative, make sure to bring extra provisions, since in bad weather it’ll be difficult for the boats to arrive, which has happened before. Regardless of the option selected, spending a few days in this paradise is a unique experience.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Watching the sunset on top of a dune with Mount Teide in the background, waking up to the sound of birds at dawn and taking a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waters is priceless. And by the way, Güigüi is divided into two sections, so to go from one to another you have to take into account the tides.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Now that you know how to get to the beach Playa de Güigüi... are you ready to visit the wildest side of the island of Gran Canaria?</p>" ["titulo_de_pagina"]=> string(64) "▷ How to get to Güigüí beach 【GUIDE】 - VillaGranCanaria" ["metatag_descripcion"]=> string(154) "Find out here ⬆️ how to get to Güigüí beach in Gran Canaria on foot or by boat. ✅ Get to know one of the best kept secrets on the island's coast!"
