Gran Canaria now has 15 Blue Flag beaches after three new ones gained the prestigious status for the first time in 2017.

La Garita (Telde), Sardina (Gáldar) and Arinaga (Agüimes) were the three newest beaches to get Blue Flags, an international quality standard that only goes to beaches with clean water, good facilities, access and safety, and good environmental standards.

The full list of Gran Canaria's Blue Flag beaches is: Las Canteras in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria; San Agustín, Maspalomas, Meloneras and El Inglés in San Bartolomé de Tirajana; Hoya del Pozo, Salinetas, Melenara and La Garita in Telde; Amadores and Mogán in Mogán; El Puertillo y Los Charcones in Arucas; Sardina in Gáldar, and Arinaga in Agüimes. 

The new awards mean that Gran Canaria now has more Blue Flag beaches than any of the other Canary Islands (Tenerife has 12). The island also has two Blue Flag marinas and a new Blue Flag walk at El Confital just north of Las Palmas.

For an overview of all of Gran Canaria's Blue Flag beaches and marinas, see our photo guide.

    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.
