Puerto Rico Gran Canaria – Live Yacht Harbor

Puerto Rico Gran Canaria live: the yacht harbor from above

From the elevated position where our live camera, the bay of Puerto Rico unfolds in all its breadth: the yacht harbor with dozens of boats moored, the protective breakwater that creates those always calm waters, the volcanic ravines framing the urbanization, and the Atlantic open towards the horizon. It is one of the most comprehensive views of the southwest of Gran Canaria, and you can check it in real time before planning your visit.

The beach and the harbor: 365 days of guaranteed sunshine

Puerto Rico beach is 284 meters long and 105 meters wide, with golden sand and turquoise waters protected by the sports dock. It was one of the first artificial beaches built in Gran Canaria in the early sixties and over time has become a reference for sun and beach tourism in the south of the island. Additionally, it is located within the Marine Special Conservation Area of the Mogán Marine Strip, ensuring the quality and cleanliness of the water.

The beach is well equipped: rental umbrellas and sunbeds, showers, foot showers, toilets, cleaning services, and access for people with reduced mobility. Along the seafront promenade that borders it, cafés, restaurants, and entertainment venues abound, where the atmosphere is lively throughout the day.

Water sports and excursions from the harbor

Puerto Rico is one of the most active water sports centers in the south of Gran Canaria. Every day, excursions in catamarans for whale watching, deep-sea fishing trips, kayaking routes, and windsurfing and kitesurfing classes depart from the marina. The wind conditions in this area of southwestern Gran Canaria are particularly favorable for these disciplines, attracting athletes from all over Europe throughout the year.

On the other hand, the underwater environments of the Mogán Marine Strip offer good conditions for diving and snorkeling. Excursions to the nearby Amadores beach and to Puerto de Mogán, the picturesque fishing village known as the Canary Venice, also depart from the docks, just ten minutes by boat. Before any water activity, check our live camera to see the sea conditions in real time.
