What to expect
The Dunas de Maspalomas is a natural reserve located on the south coast of Gran Canaria, featuring a 404-hectare area of sand dunes, a palm grove, and a pond. The dunes are a popular spot for surfers and offer a unique landscape with mobile sandy dunes that can reach up to 10 meters in height, shaped by the wind. The area is also a great spot for bird-watching, with numerous species visiting the pond. The nearby Maspalomas Lighthouse is a historic landmark that guided steamboats in the past and now offers a perfect spot for shopping, dining, and relaxation. The beach has solitary and isolated sections, including a nudist area, and is connected to the Playa del Inglés. Visitors can enjoy walking along the promenade, sunbathing, and taking in the stunning views of the dunes and the ocean
