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.

    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.
