Visited from Puerto Azul by taxi. Beach is large open bay, with lots of payable sunbeds. Sand is very soft and fine, and I very popular. Water was ok for swimming but does go quite deep within 10 metres. Swimming area is cordoned off, so safe for swimming. Most disappointing part is there is very little in this area. A few basic touristy shops, a couple of bars, and a small supermarket. Looks a little run down to be honest. Didn't feel like a return visit.

Wonderful beach during both the day and at night with pretty views all around. Not the clearest sea on the island, Anfi beach is better but still loved it here. Sea was pretty calm and easy to swim in. Nice clean beach with a few bars and restaurants surrounding it. Close to the marina too. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Review from Feb 2024 .. Man made beach which is perfectly fine and made .. Sea is lovely, loads of loungers & parasols. No side tables .. reasonably priced .. Sand is good too .. Surrounded by naff beach bars selling fried breakfasts, chicken & chips etc… Food was fine everywhere but nothing of note and catering for the ‘I don’t eat foreign food ‘ types Not a place where you’d sit with a nice glass of wine or cocktail and some quality fresh seafood in your nice holiday clothes as many people are topless - both sexes.. I think we were given the wrong impression and expected a stylish resort .. it is not . Blackpool with sunshine I’m afraid .. Tacky . But weather is fab and a big clean beach .. So that’s the draw .. We hired a car for a few days to explore further ..

Spent the day down in the beach , lovely soft sand and plenty of sunbeds even though they are in lines . Two sunbeds and an umbrella are 10.50 euros and you pay by card only so beware . Plenty of places to eat around the beach so it depends on really what you want . The swimming is safe as there is a boom across the harbour area so no jet ski’s allowed so nice for those who want to swim in peace . Plenty of families on the beach today as it was Saturday enjoying the great weather 25 degrees and not a cloud in the sky 👍😎.

After wandering round Mogan Mall, we went down to the harbour and beach at Puerto Rico to chill out and find some of the Red Rock Crabs that we'd heard about. We discovered some parking at the harbour (at the end of Calle Doreste y Molina) that wasn't too pricey (3¢ per minute so around €4.50 for the two and a half hours we stayed there) and then went over the harbour wall and to the right where we found loads of the crabs crawling along the rocks, fascinating to watch! But that didn't hold our attention for too long so we came back over the wall and wandered round the harbour-side shops, which were staffed by the usual hard-sell staff that you find all over Gran Canaria. Unfortunately the prices were also quite steep, even with the obligatory "good discount" so we left those alone. In the end, we sat by the beach and enjoyed a drink in the sun where we also enjoyed the company of a couple of varieties of Canarian lizards. This is a quieter and pleasant part of Puerto Rico and definitely worth a visit but the only drawback was the lack of open facilities as the two sets of toilets (next to the harbour parking and on the beach) were both closed and we had already eaten so didn't try to use those at any of the bars or restaurants, although they all looked clean and well-stocked. So we had to leave the area and go find some toilets elsewhere, which cut short our visit. Although it was pleasant enough, I've knocked off a few stars for the lack of open facilities and the attitude of some of the shop staff, which their prices did not justify.
