Playa del Cabrón
★ 4.4 (450 reviews)
Playa del Cabrón is one of those wild corners of Gran Canaria that captivates anyone seeking authenticity over amenities. Located on the island's eastern coast, this cove of barely 300 meters has earned a reputation as a diving and snorkeling paradise thanks to its spectacular underwater scenery, home to hundreds of flora and fauna species that make every dive an unforgettable experience.
Access requires a bit of adventurous spirit: a dirt road and a ten-minute walk from the main route, but the reward is worth every step. Here you won't find beach bars or shops, just crystal-clear waters and absolute tranquility, especially if you visit during low tide. The desert-like surroundings add that unique touch of Canarian volcanic landscape. It's a beloved spot among fishermen, windsurfers, and divers who prefer nature in its purest form over crowded beaches. There is a lifeguard for safety, though it's best to bring your own food and water to spend the day at this beautiful Atlantic Ocean gem.
