Seven islands lapped by beaches of all kinds to make your dreams come true. The Canary Islands… beaches for all tastes.

Come to the Canary Islands and let the world carry on turning at full speed without you. Find yourself in the pleasant spring climate that reigns in the Canaries all year round, and enjoy the chameleonic beauty of its infinite beaches. Plunge into the spell of the numerous shapes and colours, from hidden bays of brilliant black sand to immense beaches of white dunes.

Close your eyes for a moment and imagine yourself on a beach in the Canary Islands. It doesn’t matter whether it’s January or August, as here the weather is always good. The only thing on your mind is what shape you are going to build the sandcastle you are planning and whether, in a while, after sunbathing and swimming in the sea, you would rather have a siesta or try some delicious Canarian food in one of the restaurants you can see from your sun-lounger. Now open your eyes – now it is not a dream – you are on a Canarian beach, a paradise of relaxation, leisure time and freedom. In the archipelago you will find all kinds of beaches, from the most popular and lively with services and family leisure activities, to nudist beaches; not to mention the beautiful virgin beaches which offer you a direct, personal dialogue with the natural landscapes of the islands.

Just like the seven Canary Islands themselves, every beach is different. Those to be found on the eastern islands – Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote – usually have fine golden sand, while in the western islands – El Hierro, La Gomera, La Palma and Tenerife – you will find beaches of black sand and rocks. The volcanic origins of the Canaries, and its generous weather conditions, make it possible to enjoy beaches with cliffs, with different sands – black, red, white or golden- as well as natural swimming pools and caves where you can go diving and discover the beautiful ocean depths.

Everything is possible on the beaches in the Canaries. You can hire pedal boats, tricycles and floats, or make a parascending flight to get a view of the coast. If you want to sail, go surfing, windsurfing or any other sea sport, here you will find beaches with the perfect waves, wind and the necessary equipment for all this.

All your desires have been anticipated, and everything is ready for you to enjoy unforgettable holidays. The numerous blue flags that fly on the beaches of the islands guarantee that you can relax knowing the beach is safe and clean.
