MaspalomasNudist

The central section of Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés beaches is the world's busiest nudist beach. The most popular area is around the beach kiosks in the middle of the naturist zone.

Playa del Inglés

Although most people pop on some clothes before they go for a cold drink you don't have to. The staff say they've seen it all before.

Aguadulce

For a quieter nude experience, try Aguadulce beach on the east coast. It's windy in summer, but the area at the east end is sheltered and popular with local nudists.

Güi Güi

For a real naturist experience, hike to GüiGüi beach on the west coast. Clothes here are considered almost rude.

Faneroque

Or go completely wild at the remote Faneroque beach, also on the west coast. You'll have it to yourself so watch out for the big waves.

Montaña de Arena

South Gran Canaria's mythical wild nudist beach; Montaña de Arena is easy to get to and almost always quiet.

Guayedra

Guayedra

 It's a trek from the resorts, but Guayedra beach is within the Biosphere Reserve and is one of the island's most pristine beaches. You also get great views of Puerto de Las Nieves.

Pasito Bea / Playa de las Mujeres

One beach with two names: Pasito Bea / Playa de las Mujeres is just east of Montaña de Arena. A great spot with plenty of sand that is often empty during the week.

Llano de los Militares

Now that most traffic between Maspalomas and Arguineguín is on the motorway rather than the GC 500 , Llano de los Militares beach and next door Triana beach have become popular with peace-loving nudists

La Laja

Tip of the day

  • The Parafarmacia In Gran Canaria Is Not A Chemist!
    The Parafarmacia In Gran Canaria Is Not A Chemist!

    If there is one thing we hate it is visitors being tricked in Gran Canaria. In the past we've warned about overcharging at Gran Canaria chemists, and rip off electronics shops in resorts. 

    In this Tip Of The Day we return to the island's chemists or rather, to the island's fake chemists.

    A chemist in Gran Canaria is called a Farmacia and always has a green cross sign. Farmacias are the only place tobuy medicine in Spain, even basics like paracetamol.

    However, there is another kind of shop in Gran Canaria that looks and sounds like a chemist but doesn't sell medicine. This is the Parafarmacia and it also uses a green cross sign.

    A parafarmacia is a herbal medicine shop that is not allowed to sell any normal medicine such as paracetamol, ibuprofen or antibiotics. 

    Instead, parafarmacias sell herbal alternatives to medicine but don't have to prove that they work and they can charge whatever they want.

    We recently heard from a visitor to Gran Canaria who went into a parafarmacia and was charged 40 euros for a herbal alternative to Ibuprofen. It was only when they read the label that they realised what had happened. 

    To locate a genuine farmacia, see this website and search within your municipio (Puerto Rico is in Mogán, Playa del Inglés is in San Bartolomé de Tirajana). At weekends and on fiesta days many farmacias close but there is always one open, known as the farmacia de guardia, in each municipio.

    Lex Says: To keep costs down, see this article for the way to ask for generic medicine rather than expensive branded alternatives.
