A well-known destination for nude beachgoers in Gran Canaria, La Laja, became infamous after a local naturist group staged a naked sit-in on its volcanic black sand beach. Up until that point, nudism was apparently not fully accepted on this particular site, so the group held their naked protest until the local authorities agreed that it was okay and left the troupe to it.
Since then, nudism is actively encouraged in this area, and its climate makes it perfect for just that! With gentle winds, cool waters and a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, whether you’re used to wandering freely, or you’ve just dropped the bikini bottoms for the first time, you’ll feel at ease.

If you’re wanting to escape entirely from the hustle and bustle of a busy city and busy beach atmosphere, then Playa de la Gaviotas is right up your alley!
Standing at the foot of the Anaga Mountain Range and just near the capital, this beach is accessible yet boasts enough seclusion to completely relax. Fine black sands stretch across 250m of land and work in harmony with the breath-taking surrounding nature to provide visitors with complete tranquillity. And if you fancy getting a bit more active, then the waves here are perfect for surfing.
