Playa de Aguadulce

Playa de Aguadulce is a charming and secluded beach located in the municipality of Telde, on the island of Gran Canaria. Renowned for its natural beauty, the beach is relatively small, stretching only 140 meters, and features golden sand. It is best described as a cove, with crystal-clear waters that offer a unique and authentic beach experience.

The beach is exposed to strong winds, resulting in strong currents that can make swimming challenging. These conditions might be appealing to experienced swimmers, but they can also make the beach less suitable for prolonged stays. The water at Playa de Aguadulce is noted to be somewhat colder compared to other parts of the island.

Despite its natural allure, the beach lacks facilities or services such as restrooms, lifeguards, restaurants, or showers. Furthermore, it is not accessible for people with reduced mobility due to a small path that needs to be descended to reach the sand. However, the beach is easily accessible by car, with parking available nearby.

Playa de Aguadulce is less crowded compared to other beaches, providing an ideal spot for those seeking a less busy beach experience. However, it's worth noting that the beach's ambiance can be affected by the presence of a nearby factory and litter from the nearby industrial area of El Goro.
