About Playa de Las Salinas
Las Salinas is a small, undeveloped stretch of rocky coast in Arucas, on the north coast of Gran Canaria, below the remains of old salt pans that give it its name. FEN gives it as about 210 m of rock, with strong waves and few visitors. Spain.info describes it as a nudist beach in a quiet, unspoilt setting. The open sea is often rough, but natural rock pools along the shore allow safer bathing on most days. There are no services.
Getting there
Leave the old C-810 coast road at the km 9 turnoff and walk about 200 m over uneven ground to the shore. Interurban buses on the GC-2 corridor (lines 103, 105, 116 and 117) stop in the area. Wear sturdy shoes. There is no adapted access.
