Playa de Salinetas
★ 4.5 (246 reviews)
Playa de Salinetas is one of those special corners of Gran Canaria that captivates both locals and visitors alike. Located in the municipality of Telde, this shell-shaped beach stands out for its dark volcanic sand and crystal-clear waters, making it a favorite destination for families and surfers. Sheltered from the wind by surrounding buildings, it offers a cozy and relaxed atmosphere perfect for spending the day.
What makes Salinetas unique is its exceptional marine life, being famous for hammerhead shark sightings in its waters, which attracts divers from across the island. It has all necessary amenities: lifeguards, adapted showers, a practical natural pool at its southern end ideal for little ones, and a pedestrian promenade where you'll find restaurants, cafes, and shops. With a Blue Flag certification for its quality and accessibility, it's a beach dearly loved by area residents and a true natural spectacle for catching waves or simply enjoying the Canarian Atlantic.
