Playa de Veneguera is a naturist beach located in the Veneguera valley in south-west Gran Canaria.
A protected 370-metre-long beach, half stone and half volcanic red sand sheltered by rocky outcrops at each end. Veneguera beach isn't all that attractive but it is Gran Canaria's biggest pristine beach and the water is calm and clear.
It's best to visit in late spring when the valley is at its greenest and full of flowers. The west end of the beach is where the textiles go which is near the parking area.

- Directions Travelling the 3.5 km track (suitable for all any cars as it is in good condition) from Veneguera village to the beach takes you through an idyllic rural valley full of banana, mango and papaya plantations before flattening out into a wide, flat-bottomed barranco with the beach at its mouth. To reach Veneguera beach, first drive inland from Puerto de Mogán until you pass Pueblo de Mogán. Then take the left fork and you are on the spectacular GC 200 road that winds all the way to Agaete in the north-west. Veneguera village is about 10 km past the fork. You can get as far as the village on a Line 38 bus from Puerto de Mogán but be prepared for a long walk down the valley.
