San Agustín Beach: blue flag and safe waters in southern Gran Canaria

The San Agustín Beach has a blue flag, lifeguard service during swimming season, showers, changing rooms, sunbed and umbrella rentals, and accessible access for people with reduced mobility. The waterfront promenade that borders it is wide and without steps, making it comfortable for wheelchairs and strollers. The seabed slopes gently, and the waves are usually soft, making this beach one of the most suitable for families with children in the southern part of the island.

Moreover, the rocky edges of the bay hide small colorful fish that make this quiet beach in Gran Canaria a pleasant spot for snorkeling on calm sea days. The promenade is home to restaurants offering Canarian and international cuisine, terraces with views of the Atlantic, and much quieter nightlife options than those of Playa del Inglés, located just a few minutes' walk away.

The San Agustín Beach is well connected by road from Gran Canaria airport, about thirty minutes via the GC-1 and GC-500.

From the promenade, you can walk to Las Burras or continue towards Maspalomas following the coastline, with the dunes as a backdrop on the southern horizon.
