Playa de San Borondón

Playa de San Borondón is one of those wild corners of Gran Canaria that captivates those seeking authenticity over amenities. Located in the municipality of Telde, this volcanic black sand beach stretches for 225 meters and stands out for its rugged beauty and untamed character. The somewhat challenging access ensures it's never crowded, making it a perfect refuge for those wanting to escape the tourist hustle.

With a northeast orientation and separated from La Garita by Punta de La Mareta, San Borondón is surfer territory and a haven for water sports enthusiasts. Its strong currents and vigorous waves make it ideal for experienced swimmers, while families with young children prefer to enjoy it by strolling along the shore. There are no facilities or lifeguards, so it's essential to respect the environment and take all your rubbish with you. If you're looking for an authentic beach where the Atlantic shows its power and nature rules, this is your spot.
