Maspalomas is famous for its spectacular white sand beach, complete with dunes, which are up to 10 metres tall and cover an area of 404 hectares, the “Charca,” which is a small sea lake nearby, and the charming lighthouse, which is the architectural symbol of the area. From Maspalomas Beach, you can go walking to San Agustín, Las Burras, Inglés or Meloneras Beaches.
