Tasarte beach is a 700-meter strip of big but rounded pebbles although you get a strip of volcanic sand at the east end at low tide. The sea here tends to be calm but watch out if there's a south swell.
The area around the beach is undeveloped apart from a few houses, and a beachfront restaurant and lots of mango and papaya orchards on the valley floor.
The beach of Tasarte is normally very quiet, except a few months of summer in which the influx is greater and there is a mix of naturists and textiles, perfect to totally disconnect and enjoy the weather of Gran Canaria.
