Playa de Arena de San Felipe

Playa de Arena de San Felipe is one of those special corners of northern Gran Canaria that captivates both surfers and families seeking an authentic beach day. Located in Santa María de Guía, this beach stands out for its unique combination of fine sand in the lower area and pebbles in the upper part, creating a varied and natural coastal landscape that maintains its virgin essence.

Perfect for water sports and surfing thanks to its characteristic North Atlantic swell, the beach requires some caution with currents, especially at high tide. Local visitors recommend coming at low tide if you're with children, when you can enjoy the sea more peacefully. As a historical curiosity, at the end of the beach there's an old military surveillance post that adds a special touch to the landscape.

Well-regarded by those who know it, this 24-hour accessible beach stays clean and is especially beloved by surfers and nature lovers who prefer less crowded beaches of northern Gran Canaria.
