Montaña de Arena — La Cometa
San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
A tucked-away naturist beach backed by a steep sand hill on Gran Canaria’s southern coast. The final approach is on foot, leaving the resort strips behind for a small, unserviced stretch of sand.
Nudity policy
Customary clothing optional
The municipality explicitly records naturist use at Montaña La Arena / La Cometa, and FEN lists it as a beach of traditional naturist use. This is shared public beach space rather than a private nude-only venue.
Naturism is described on the beach, not along the GC-500, neighbouring access tracks or private land.
Facilities
No facilities on site.
No listed facilities are confirmed on the naturist shore. Approach parking and nearby services are described separately.
Access & visiting
Public beach access without membership, a beach-admission ticket or an overnight booking. Any parking, lounger or refreshment charge is separate; current access notices, closures and sea warnings take precedence.
Age & supervision
This is a shared public shoreline with no published minimum admission age or adult-only naturist enclosure in the checked visitor guidance. Children need adult supervision; the naturist boundaries and access conditions described below still apply.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Public coast throughout the year, subject to sea conditions, weather and local access restrictions; check current notices before travelling.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Take the GC-1 exit for Pasito Blanco, then the GC-500 towards Mogán. The municipality identifies a signed beach approach on this secondary coastal road between Pasito Blanco and Arguineguín; Montaña La Arena is also called La Cometa.
Parking
The municipality says vehicles can reach close to the approach, with roughly 300 metres still to walk. National tourism mentions a car park, but neither source supplies its exact entrance or terms; use only lawful signed spaces and do not block the GC-500 or coastal tracks.
Finding the naturist area
Follow the beach sign and established foot approach towards the sand hill and shore. The municipal guide also identifies approaches via Las Carpinteras or Pocito Bea. Allow for uneven coastal ground rather than expecting a promenade or a drive directly onto the sand.
Where naturism applies
The recognised naturist setting is the small sand-and-rock beach below the large sand hill. The public sources do not mark a dividing line within it; respect neighbouring coves, private land and any conservation or access notices.
- There are no confirmed showers or lifeguards on the naturist beach.
- Bring water, food and suitable walking shoes and take all rubbish away.
- Check the swell and allow a clear return route before settling on the shore.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
