""The Sand Dunes"" Top 5 Page for this destination Isla de Gran Canaria Off The Beaten Path Tip by kevin36

The famous sand dunes of Gran Canaria! Walking through the dunes you feel like you are in the middle of the Sahara. Wide views over the dunes to Maspalomas, San Agustín and Playa del Inglés. A good place for long walks or just relaxing and sunbathing.
Be warned this is also a nudist area so you never know what is going to walk around the corner.
The little footprints you see in the sand are most likely to be the Local Lizards ,we saw a lot of them but they wont bother you.
You can try your hand out at riding a camel riding.
Even in winter the sand can get too hot to walk on so don't forget your flip flops, sandals or trainers. This is particularly noticed on the southern sides of the dunes especially if there is no breeze.
It really is like being in desert worth a trip out just to see them,also nearby is a nice promenade to walk along on the seafront.
