Boating on Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria's sunny south and south-west coast is the island's boating side, with marinas at Puerto de Mogán, Puerto Rico and Pasito Blanco and steep ravines meeting the sea. Boat days follow the coast between Maspalomas and Mogán with swim stops in sheltered bays, and dolphins are often spotted offshore.

Where to go by boat

  • Puerto de Mogán

    Harbour village of canals and flower-covered houses in the south-west.

  • Güigüí

    Remote beach under high cliffs on the west coast, reached on foot or by boat.

  • Maspalomas dunes

    Sand dunes and lighthouse at the island's southern tip.

  • Anfi del Mar

    Sheltered bay with white sand between Arguineguín and Puerto Rico.

Tip: The trade winds accelerate around the island's corners, so the south-west coast is usually the calmest, and around whales and dolphins slow down and keep your distance.
