East Coast Blonde: Aguadulce Beach

Golden Aguadulce beach is the star of Gran Canaria's east coast Golden Aguadulce beach is the star of Gran Canaria's east coast

Agualdulce is the prettiest beach on Gran Canaria's east coast and one of the island's best small beaches.

With 200 metres of golden sand, clear turquoise water and a sand dune behind it, Aguadulce in Telde is gorgeous. It's rarely crowded and often you have it to yourself; many people avoid it because it has a reputation for being windy. It can be, but it's worth checking because, on the right day, it's a stunning beach.

Aguadulce is right next to Tufia village and beach on the east coast. Take the El Goro exit if you're driving north from the resorts and then the first exit at the roundabout. Follow the road to Tufia and park at the end of the road by the village. Walk north and you'll see the beach within a minute. 

This beach has no facilities apart from bins and even Tufia has no public toilets and only an occasional chiringuito snack bar. The whole area is a nature reserve and building is forbidden. Tufia itself is fighting a battle for its existence as it was built illegally. Public transport doesn't run to Tufia. 

Aguadulce is nudist and the bare-bottom brigade hang out at the east end of the beach by the little sandstone cliff.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
