Mogan Gran Canaria : The most picturesque town with a nice beach

The beach of Mogan Gran Canaria is located in south of the island of Gran Canaria and has many different types of sand and rocks of different shapes and sizes all along the coast. This beach is the youngest of the island. Its structure gives it a special character and appeal. Originally, it had a combination of yellow sand and black pebbles, and was open to the currents from the east. It couldn’t keep the sand on the coast all the time, so the Mogan city council designed a major project to completely change this. Today, the beach has yellow sand which is thicker than the sand of Playa del Ingles. It easily sticks to the skin , but it is easy to clean off when one is leaving the beach.

The locals who live in this town love their natural resources and take care of them, so that every year millions of tourists can come and enjoy them, especially the beach.

The Mogan Gran Canaria beach is 200 meters long and has a nice promenade by it from which you can see beautiful sunsets, or sunrises, if you get up early. It is a great way to start your day.

There are dozens of restaurants where you can try the local cuisine. You can try the different types of fish like albacore, tuna or swordfish and the smaller ones, like the vieja, bream or sardines. You can actually see the fish when you peep in the water! Restaurants that serve international food are also there, because tourists from many different countries visit this lovely town every year.
