Playa de las Nieves Paddleboard Forecast

Playa de las Nieves scores 71/100 for paddleboard today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces SW. A compact, sheltered beach of dark volcanic boulders, pebbles and coarse gravel sits in front of a harbour pier on Gran Canaria's northwest coast, with no sand and no surf break. Calm water suits swimming and snorkelling; a shore-dive site offshore reaches 12m with little current, suitable for all levels. A promenade gives easy access. A seasonal lifeguard covers summer, with an adapted beach wheelchair available. Boulders underfoot need care at low tide.
