Playa Taurito
If what you're after is a tranquil beach holiday where the most strenuous activity you'll face is re-applying the suntan lotion, then look no further. Playa Taurito is the perfect place for a beach holiday. Situated to the north west of Gran Canaria, Playa Taurito is near enough to Puerto Rico to provide a change of pace and also lies next to the picturesque fishing village of Puerto Mogan.
Families and couples love Playa Taurito because you don't need to fill every minute with adrenaline-busting excitement. Kids are content to just play in the sand or wade in the surf and parents are content to just relax and let the time drift by. The beach is an absolute gem and the sea is safe for children as it's protected by two wind-breaking cliffs.
The Playa Taurito Lido is open to the public and lies a short distance from the beach. The tropical flowers and palms and the close proximity of the bars make this a wonderfully relaxing alternative to the beach.
Playa Taurito has some lovely hotels you can stay in that offers the very best that Gran Canaria has to offer. The Playa Taurito Princess hotel overlooks the beach and the Playa Taurito lido so it is a good location in which to stay. The Playa Taurito Princess hotel offers some of the best all-inclusive deals around, so everything is catered for and the beach is the only thing you'll have to leave the hotel for!
Unlike some of the busier spots in Gran Canaria, in Playa Taurito, most people are content to stay in their hotels of a night because most offer entertainment. However, the beach bars and restaurants are always good fun and it's nice to sit in a relaxing atmosphere and welcome in the night with a glass or two of sangria and the sound of the waves in the background.
