One of Gran Canaria’s most beautiful protected landscapes with spectacular geology, flora, fauna and archaeological sites.
Guayedra beach is where nature-loving locals from all over the north of the island go for nudist sunbathing in the west coast sunshine. It is probably one of the most enchanting nudist beaches in all of northern Gran Canaria.
A place of pebbles and volcanic black sand under the imposing presence of the Faneque, with its 1,000 meters of free-fall. We are inside the Natural Park of Tamadaba, where the contrast between the green hue of the palm trees and the harshness of the rocks creates a unique charm.
Playa de Guayedra offers wonderful blue sea and superb sunsets. Its dark lava, many palm trees and the spectacular views of the west coast cliffs and across the sea to Teide volcano make the walk down to Guayedra beach a treat.
The views from the beach are fantastic you will see Tenerife and Teide on the horizon, Puerto de las Nieves to the north and the rugged west coast stretching out to the south. It is a fantastic beach to visit at sunset.
It’s one of the island most attractive nudist beaches, where naturists tend to base themselves at the far right of the playa. Beware the beach here can be windy. Please note that swimming here is very dangerous.
