My 3rd year returning to palmitos and I still can’t fault it! Visited today and had to write a review, perfect day, amazing shows, friendly and helpful staff, birds of prey guys at the top of the canyon very funny make you feel comfortable around the birds to take photos, very kind men! Dolphin trainers are amazing! Would love to have their job, appreciate all the work the staff put in there. Big variety of animals, very warm in August so just be careful make sure you drink plenty of water, wear hats and lots of sun cream but 1000% would recommend

The Dunes and Beach of Maspalomas are a surprising sight and something not seen every day. Get lost in the dramatic sweeping dunes, walking along their crest of in the valleys between only to find before you a beautiful beach with inviting waters, even in December I was able to spend 45 minutes in the water! Key Points: 1) Bring Sunblock and Water. Not a lot of shade in the area and you don't want to wait for hours in lines a the drink shacks. 2) Dunes are gorgeous and fun. Have fun, try running down the dunes and jumping by the edge! 3) Be careful of the rip-tide. Maspalomas beach is a place where currents intersect. On some days the riptide is enough to carry you away even if you're in knee-high water. 4) Not a nude beach, specifically. But plenty of nude people. However, people are comfortable is how they do the beach there.

5. Strandpromenade Meloneras

Reviewed By top-trippers - Heswall, United Kingdom
This long sea-front promenade is the perfect place for an hour’s gentle stroll/jog/cycle. It runs for 2kms from Playa Melonares at its northern end to the 65-metre tall working lighthouse (built in 1886) and Maspalomas beach to the south. For the most part it is pretty flat. It is lined with luxury hotels, bars, restaurants, supermarkets and shops (Boulevard El Faro features high-street and designer brands; the Varadero Centre is more of a tourist resort arcade). Very clean and safe with few beggers or hawkers.

7. Strandpromenade San Agustin
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 163 reviews
Reviewed By 721AndrewB - Bristol, United Kingdom
The promenade follows the edge of the beach from north of san augustin to the dunes of Maspalomas, where it diverts around the golf course before continuing along the coast to Melonares. You can avoid the diversion by walking across the dunes, which in itself is a pleasant experience although harder going. We walked the entire length a couple of times during our stay, and enjoyed it very much - generally well made, although there are flights of steps or steep ramps involved at a couple of locations. (Note, there is currently a diversion in place to the north of san augustin due to a land slip. The diversion takes you away from the coast and involves a series of steps).

Set between maspalomas and meloneras this light house gives a focal point. As daylight fails the light comes on, or can be seen, making it an attractive feature at sunset. There are restaurants nearby too.

Had a fantastic holiday over Christmas with husband, son (23) and daughter(18) weather was perfect for us around 23 Celsius each day....Agustin was great as a base, we had a car so we were always out and about.
