About

Playa de Güigüi on Gran Canaria is a beach you can’t reach by car. To get there, most people hike for hours in the sun. The trail goes up and down over dry hills and loose rocks. The walk back is the hardest part, because it’s mostly uphill when you’re already tired. That's why the beach is often empty.

The beach itself is dark sand with huge cliffs around it and the ocean right in front. There are no shops or beach bars, so it feels very far from everything.
