Pebbles and Peace at Gran Canaria's Playa del Aguila

Playa del Aguila beach in south Gran Canaria Playa del Aguila beach in south Gran Canaria

Playa del Aguila is a long way from most people's idea of a south Gran Canaria beach: quiet, pebbly and almost completely local. And that's how its fans want it to stay.

Playa del Aguila beach and little resort of the same name are between San Agustín and Bahia Feliz. You see the east end of the beach from the road, but the best part is tucked away between the sea and the resort.

The main landmark on Playa del Aguila is the amusing sign that states that nudism isn't allowed.  Otherwise, there's just pebbles, sunshine and the sea (and a bit of wind). Go to Playa del Aguila for a relaxing day by the sea with nobody else around. And for lunch. 

Pick a terrace table at Restaurante Balcon Canario right on the beach and yards from the sea. The food is good and the atmosphere superb. It's always hard to get back up and return to the beach. You don't have to. 

Playa del Aguila is popular with Canarians so it gets busier at weekends and especially during school holidays.

  • 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.
