Gay strand maspalomas
Gran Canaria is the number one gay friendly Canary Island without a doubt.
It’s no coincidence that we have been 8 times for regular vacations, including multiple summer prides and winter prides. We touch very welcome in Gran Canaria and it’s one of our top 10 gay travel destinations!
When it comes to gay beaches, Gran Canaria does not disappoint.
The majority of visitors head to the queer beach in Maspalomas, which is the gay heart of Gran Canaria! For us, it’s the biggest and most fun queer beach we have been to.
This is also the official Maspalomas nudist beach which is probably one of the main reasons it has become the gay beach!

Gay nude beach
The gay beach in Gran Canaria is located behind the dunes of Playa del Ingles/ Maspalomas. The beach is clothing optional. Chairs and umbrellas are for rent. On busy days they are occupied early. The small beach bar Kiosko 7 is a very popular hangout.
Sometime the wind can be sturdy, which makes the stay less pleasant, mostly because of the volcanic sand. Then the guys often move to the dunes for sunbathing (and maybe a little cruising too..)
How to receive to the Maspalomas gay beach?
You can take a nice saunter through the beautiful dunes from the Riu Palace Hotel at the end of Av. de Tirajana. The path starts at the hotel gate. It's about a 30 minute walk with a few hills up and down. On your right is the famous gay cruising area. The gay beach is at Kiosko 7 with the rainbow flag.
