Playa del Pirata

Playa del Pirata, also known as Morro Besudo, is one of those hidden gems in southern Gran Canaria that captivates everyone who discovers it. This semi-hidden cove between San Agustín and El Águila beaches is sheltered by apartment buildings and rock walls that create a stunning natural landscape. Unlike the crowded tourist beaches in the area, here you'll find a much quieter and authentic atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a peaceful swim.

Access to the beach has been recently improved with new stairs making it easier to reach the sand, though proper footwear is always recommended. Playa del Pirata is especially beloved by locals seeking tranquility and those walking their dogs, creating a relaxed and family-friendly vibe. However, it's important to be cautious of ocean currents, especially when the tide is active, as they can push toward the rocks. A true coastal treasure where you can enjoy the Atlantic in its purest form.
