Playa de Tauro

Playa de Tauro is a picturesque beach located in the municipality of MogĂĄn, on the island of Gran Canaria, in the Canary Islands, Spain. The beach is renowned for its natural beauty and tranquility, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a more traditional and unspoilt beach experience. Its sandy expanse extends into the water, a feature that differentiates it from other beaches that become rocky quite quickly. This beach is also a habitat for a variety of fish species, particularly observable towards the cliffs and the cave on the left side of the beach.

Despite its allure, Playa de Tauro is not heavily crowded with tourists, thus maintaining a relaxed and quiet atmosphere. This calmness, coupled with its location, makes it an excellent spot for sunset viewing. The surrounding landscape, characterized by hills, mountains, and beautiful trees, further enhances the scenic view.

However, the number of facilities is limited, which might make it less appealing for those who prefer a beach with numerous amenities. It is important to note that both nudism and pets are prohibited on this beach.

Regarding accessibility, Playa de Tauro can be reached by bus or other public transportation, thanks to the presence of a nearby bus stop. Alternatively, it is also accessible by foot from Amadores.
