Why go to San Agustin?

With long stretches of sandy coastline, San Agustin holidays are an attractive option for travellers looking for an idyllic beach holiday in the Canary Islands.

San Agustin holidays are a great option for those wanting a laidback vibe while away. Quieter than neighbouring Playa del Inglés yet still lively enough, a holiday to San Agustin feels like Gran Canaria’s best kept secret.

As the first resort you’ll reach coming south from Gran Canaria Airport along the GC1 motorway, transfer time is minimal and the journey is easily completed by car, taxi or bus.

Mainly known for its volcanic sand beaches and tranquil atmosphere, San Agustin holidays are often overlooked by tourists in their fervour to reach the better known resorts of Playa del Inglés or Las Palomas. But don’t be fooled. San Agustin holidays have plenty to offer.

As the sun sets, stroll the promenade, stopping off for a cocktail at one of the chiringuitos (beach bars) or a bite to eat in one of the restaurants. You’ll find your San Agustin holiday offers the best seafood. And nowhere does it taste better than overlooking the water as it laps the shoreline.

Wondering when is the best time to book a holiday to San Agustin? Its fantastic climate makes it a great choice all year round, with hot summers and very mild winters.

Getting Around San Agustin

🚌 Transport in the San Agustin Region

Tenerife is easy to navigate with a range of transport readily available here. The public buses are a cheap way for visitors to explore the island, but most holidaymakers tend to use taxis and hire cars as they offer that extra flexibility during your stay. There are numerous cycling and hiking trails for the more adventurous or daily boat services hopping between each island too.

Travelling by bus or carThere are comfortable, air conditioned buses which leave regularly from most of the main resorts and stop at the island’s most famous attractions.
