La Lajilla: Arguineguin's Little Secret Beach

Arguineguín's Scandinavian winter residents hang out La Lajilla beach and natural swimming pool and are quite happy that nobody else knows where it is.

 

Tiny La Lajillla beach is just a patch of golden sand next to the crystal clear La Lajilla natural swimming pool. It has a handful of sun loungers, three waterside terrace restaurants, showers and a decking area but no toilet facilities.

La Lajilla is a peaceful spot and the pool is warm and calm. It's often at its busiest first thing in the morning during the winter when lots of Scandinavians go for their dawn swim. The beach rarely has more than thirty people on it and you often have the pool to yourself on weekdays.

La Lajilla is a great family spot with safe swimming and nowhere for the kids to get lost. The fish are very friendly.

Get to it by walking down to the sea from Arguineguín's whale tail roundabout and looking to the right through the palm trees. Or you can walk all the way from Anfi and Patalavaca beaches along the coast.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
