Beach
Playa de Maspalomas (zona gay, kiosko 7)
in Maspalomas (Gran Canaria), Spain
The gay stretch sits around kiosks 5-7; kiosk 7 is the classic meeting point, with a bar-and-party beach vibe.
Where it is
The gay beach section lies roughly halfway between Playa del Inglés and the lighthouse, around beach kiosk number 7, about 800 m from the faro.
What it is
The wide, nudist-friendly stretch is seen as the epicentre of Maspalomas's gay beach life, with sunloungers to rent and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It is reached on foot along the shore or through the dunes from Playa del Inglés or from the faro.
History
The area around kiosk 7 has established itself over decades as the most popular beach gathering point for gay visitors to Gran Canaria. After a redesign, the section now has a beach bar and toilets.
