Canary Islands beach by beach

Choose an island

Choose an island to see its beaches, natural pools and swimming areas. Weather, sea, tide, webcams, flag and occupancy.

Important: NÁYADE data comes from the available official health register. Unlisted natural pools or beaches appear without health data. Natural pools also depend on tide and swell. Always check sea conditions before bathing and avoid visiting with strong high tide, groundswell or coastal warnings.

Parking and access

Park before reaching the beach

Choose an island. Canal Playa will only show live data when there is an official or authorised public source. If no live data exists, useful links and clear warnings will be shown.

Wild beaches and natural pools: in areas without permanent control, parking may be limited, unpaved or subject to restrictions. Check local signage, avoid parking outside permitted areas and review tide, swell and warnings before access.
