Playa de Las Alcaravaneras Verified listing

Alcaravaneras beach is one of the city beaches of the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Although for many years it was banned to swim there, because of contamination problems, now it is OK to swim and sunbathe there. This beach gets crowded when there are jellyfish in the other city beach, Las Canteras. It is popular among local Gran Canarians families, and it is rare to see tourists here.

The second largest beach in the capital, just over a kilometre long and almost a hundred kilometres wide, stretches over the east face of the municipality. In front of one of the vital infrastructures of the city, the Port, this beach is characterized by being a much more familiar and neighbourhood destination than Las Canteras, with more tourist projection.

For sports lovers, this beach has facilities that allow you to practice beach volleyball, basketball or beach soccer, among other modalities. It also has lifeguard and surveillance services, as well as numerous leisure and restaurant venues located along the promenade that runs along the sand.
