Spain
How very gay is Gran Canaria?how many gay beachs are inGran Canaria? Is a gay cruising on the beach allowed?
Well, this page is perfect for answering your curiosity about gay holidays, gay nude beaches, and gay nightlife inCanary Island!
This year-round island is always bathing in the rays of the sun, complemented by the sparkling blue of the sea, and riddled with nudist beaches where gay men can forget about those pesky tan lines.
If you’re looking for a gay, fun time under the sun, consider visiting Maspalomas, which may as well be the number 1 spot for gay travellers. I’m going to have to repeat the phrase sun, sun, and even more sun! The weather in Maspalomas rarely falls below 20 degrees Celsius, with a light winter during January and February, which means it is a sunny, gay trip just waiting to happen! For the gay men out there, who are looking to travel on a budget, Gran Canaria is surrounded by affordable food, drinks, accommodation options, transportation, and an overall lifestyle.
1. Playa Del Ingles – a popular gay resort that is strictly for the LGBT community! Yes, you won’t find any straight people, so you can feel comfortable in your own skin. Playa del Ingles is the definition of freedom. No matter who you are or what you identify as, you can be yourself and hold your partner’s hand without any judging looks.
2. Kiosk 7 – this trendy location will make you proud to be gay. It boasts a popular nude beach with a rainbow flag that has set it apart from the rest. Bask under the rays of the sun or swim in the crystal-clear waters. If you were spending your time in Play Del Ingles, Kiosk 7 is separated by dunes that make for a walk surrounded by a breath-taking landscape. Be prepared for the journey since it would take you around 30 to 45 minutes. For those who are looking to swim naked even faster, just grab a taxi and get there in 10 minutes.
3. Yumbo Center – this is where the gay nightlife begins. Around this area, you have many options of restaurants, terraces, bars, and clubs. The crowd will keep you engaged, excited, and eager for the music, drinks, and food. Be prepared to stay up all night if you want to be a part of the party crowd!
You can do this day after day because there are always new things for you to see and do and, trust me, boredom does not exist in a gay trip to Gran Canaria.
Enjoy!
