Morning: Arguineguín, Patalavaca, and Anfi del Mar
The morning is walked on foot along the coastal walk connecting Arguineguín with Patalavaca and Anfi del Mar. This is the time when the sea is usually calmer and the beaches, still empty.
1. El Perchel Beach
Begin in the center of Arguineguín, at this urban cove of about 220 meters. Its natural tidal pool, around 400 m², is perfect for seeing small fish and crabs among the rocks. The 440-meter promenade with covered terraces is the best place for your first coffee. If it’s Tuesday, take advantage of the village market. Live webcam of El Perchel Beach.
2. La Lajilla Beach
Follow the promenade to this small cove, also called Costa Alegre. A stone breakwater calms the water and creates a natural pool: a good place for your first swim. There’s a beach bar, showers, and restrooms. Live webcam of La Lajilla Beach.
3. Patalavaca Beach
About 300 meters of Blue Flag sand, well protected from the wind. With a pair of snorkeling goggles, you’ll see bream and salemas on the rocks at the ends. When the tide is low, the sand divides into two small coves. Live webcam of Patalavaca Beach.
4. Anfi del Mar
Close the morning at one of the most photographed beaches in the southwest: white sand and a bay protected by a breakwater. The water is usually calm all morning, ideal if you are traveling with small children. Live webcam of Anfi del Mar.
Check before you go: Open the webcam of El Perchel or La Lajilla upon waking. What you see there usually holds for all the southern coast.
Noon: Puerto Rico and Amadores
From Anfi del Mar to Puerto Rico is just a few minutes by car or bus; you can also take the ferry that connects the ports along the coast. Here is the liveliest atmosphere of the route.
5. Puerto Rico Marina
The webcam, installed high up, shows the entire bay: moored boats, the breakwater, and the surrounding volcanic ravines. From here, catamarans leave daily to see dolphins and whales, deep-sea fishing trips, and kayaking routes. If you want a boat excursion, this is the time to book it. Live webcam of Puerto Rico Marina.
6. Puerto Rico Beach
About 280 meters of golden sand protected by breakwaters, with sunny weather almost all year round. It was one of the first artificial beaches in Gran Canaria, in the early sixties. It’s a great place to eat: the promenade is full of terraces serving fresh fish. Live webcam of Puerto Rico Beach.
7. Amadores Beach
Continue on foot along the promenade, about a kilometer with the sea always in view. Amadores has a Blue Flag, turquoise waters, and a gentle slope, bordered by breakwaters and ochre cliffs. On clear days, Tenerife is visible on the horizon. It’s the perfect stop for a nap in the sand. Live webcam of Amadores Beach.
Look before you go: Amadores and Puerto Rico fill up quickly during peak season. Compare the two webcams and choose the one with more space.
Afternoon: Playa del Cura and Taurito
In the afternoon, the route continues west along the GC-500, with smaller coves and fewer people. This stretch is best done by car or bus.
8. Playa del Cura
A small bay of less than 200 meters, protected by cliffs and rocky outcrops, with palm trees and natural pools when the tide goes out. It has showers, sunbeds, and terraces right on the sand. Parking is limited, so check the webcam before you divert. Live webcam of Playa del Cura.
9. Taurito Beach
A shell-shaped bay, with Blue Flag and waters sheltered from the wind. It’s the stop for those who want to be active: kayak rentals and paddle surfing, snorkeling in the volcanic bottoms, and a PADI dive center offering baptisms and courses. Live webcam of Taurito Beach.
Look before you go: If the Taurito webcam shows rough seas, swap the kayak for a peaceful swim at Playa del Cura.
Sunset: Puerto de Mogán
10. Mogán Beach
The route ends in the small Venice of Gran Canaria: canals, bridges, and whitewashed houses with bougainvillea by a golden sandy beach protected by breakwaters. Enjoy one last swim, stroll along the pier lined with colorful boats, and find a terrace for dinner with fresh fish. Live webcam of Mogán Beach.
If you are doing the route on a Friday, arrive earlier: the market fills the promenade and squares of the port, and parking becomes a challenge.
Look before you go: Open the webcam in the late afternoon. If the sky is clear to the west, the sunset from the pier is worth the wait.
Practical tips
- Getting around: Walking from Arguineguín to Anfi del Mar along the promenade; later, by car along the GC-500 or bus along the coast. A beautiful alternative is the ferry between Arguineguín, Anfi, Puerto Rico, and Puerto de Mogán.
- What day to choose: Tuesday for the Arguineguín market, Friday for the Puerto de Mogán market. The rest of the week, there are fewer people.
- Two-day version: Day 1 from El Perchel to Amadores; Day 2 from Playa del Cura to Puerto de Mogán, allowing more time for Taurito and a boat excursion.
- What to bring: snorkeling goggles (Patalavaca, Amadores, and Taurito have good reefs), high sun protection, and footwear for the walk.
- The webcams, your weather companion: save the page of Mogán webcams on your mobile and check it before each stop.
