Guigui beach, (pronounced Wee Wee) is located on the remote west coast, is only accessible by boat or by foot. Güi Güi's remote location and high cliffs make it Gran Canaria's Shangri La.It's not particularly pretty and at high tide most of it is underwater. The sand is on the dark side and disappears completely during the winter. So the summer months is the best time to visit here.

At times the beach is covered in driftwood. This tranquil stretch of Atlantic Ocean with views of Teide volcano on the horizon, offers very crystal clear waters. Güi Güi is so remote that it is almost always deserted.

There are two connected beaches: Güi Güi Grande is the first one you get to and is only little (about 350 metres long). Its big name comes from the size of the barranco rather than the beach. Güi Güii Chico is just south of its little neighbour and is about 650 metres long.

You reach it by walking along the rocks but be careful at high tide or when the sea is rough as it can inaccessible: Nudists, hippy types and nature lovers make the five kilometre trek from Tasartico down to the beach for a few days of naked relaxation. It's a tough hike but easy to follow: Uphill at first and then down into the steep barranco. The drop-offs are spectacular and vertigo isn't an option.
