English beach

I had heard a lot about Playa del Inglés before visiting and was really excited to experience it. Based on all the hype, we even decided to stay in this area. However, we ended up feeling a little disappointed. Although it has a long stretch of beach, it felt like it was missing a certain vibe. For me, Anfi del Mar, Amadores, and Mogan Beach are much better—more beautiful and enjoyable overall. In comparison, Playa del Inglés didn’t quite live up to the hype, especially when there are so many nicer areas to explore in Gran Canaria.

Love this beach!I had such an amazing experience here that I felt it deserved a detailed review. The beach is incredibly spacious, which makes it perfect whether you want to relax quietly, play games, or go for long walks along the shore. Even when it’s busy, it never feels overcrowded because there are so many spots to choose from. One of the things I appreciated most was how affordable the sun beds were. It’s great to be able to spend the whole day comfortably without feeling like you’re overspending. There are also plenty of restaurants and cafés just steps away from the sand, offering everything from quick snacks to full meals. Whether you’re in the mood for seafood, local dishes, or just a refreshing drink, you’ll find plenty of options. The atmosphere overall is relaxed and welcoming, making it an ideal place for families, couples, or anyone looking to unwind by the water. The water is clean, the views are beautiful, and the whole area is very well maintained. I would absolutely recommend this beach to anyone visiting the area. It’s the kind of place you keep wanting to come back to again and again!

Playa del Inglés is a long, wide beach with plenty of space to relax, even when it’s busy. The atmosphere is lively but still enjoyable, and the beach connects beautifully to the Maspalomas dunes for long walks. Great for swimming, sunsets, and photography, with many cafés and services nearby. A classic Gran Canaria beach that offers both energy and room to breathe.

Good place an beach is big have all infrastructure and restaurants too close the beach

Wide beach with good bar facilities , with beautiful views of the famous Maspalomas dunes . On hot days a pleasantly cooling wind with ocean breeze , blowing almost always .

Of course this is not the nicest beach in Gran Canaria, Playa del Ingles in general is not that picturesque. However this beach is huge and the coastline goes on for miles. As a result you get a lot of privacy and can sit peacefully without sitting on top of anyone else. And yes, some parts of the beach are nude, but they’re usually hidden and no one’s walking around flashing anyone! The beach was clean and the water was a beautiful blue colour. If you’re staying at a nice resort here, this beach will do, but personally I’d stay near Puerto Rico / Amadores where the beaches are more ethereal. Of course, you can always take the public bus there :)

large yellow sandy beach. clean crystal waters. fun to be had all around nearby love the many beaches shops bars cafes. it has something for everyone.

Great beach, nice smooth entry in the ocean. Only downside are toilets as they are not available? Not sure as I’ve tried a few places and they charge to use(fair enough) but council should do something close to the beach even with money. As nudist we haven’t seen as we were close to jet skying and no issues there.
