Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Tauro is distinguished by its location at the mouth of the Tauro ravine. Its 440 metres of length and 35 metres of width combine dark sand, gravel and pebbles, in a semi-urban mountainous frontage with vegetation and ZEC protection. Usual waves are moderate and occupancy is medium. It is easily reached on foot or by car via the GC-500, with fewer than 50 parking spaces and interurban transport. As support, the surroundings offer food and drink establishments and are linked to the port of Puerto Rico, in Gran Canaria.
