Playa de Güigüí
Unspoilt golden-sand beach in the far southwest of Gran Canaria, with no road access and no facilities.
Güigüí is one of the most isolated beaches on Gran Canaria, protected within a nature reserve. No road reaches it: access is on foot along a demanding mountain trail of several hours from Tasartico, or by boat from Puerto de Mogán or La Aldea. There are no bars, no drinking water and no shade, so bring everything you need and plan carefully around the tides and daylight.
