Location: Municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana.

Las Burras Beach is an urban beach located in one of the most important tourist centres of the island, standing out for its serene waters thanks to the breakwater that protects it. For this reason, it is a favourite beach for families looking for peace and quiet and safe waters for children.

It is 300 metres long and 110 metres wide. It has fine, dark-coloured sand, perfect for playing with the children and forming sandcastles. You will always find a place to relax, sunbathe lying on the sand or on the comfortable deckchairs on the beach. On certain occasions, the beach can be affected by winds. To make sure it will be a calm day, we suggest you check the weather forecast.

Playa de Las Burras receives the most visitors during the summer, so you should take your precautions if you want to find a good place to spend the day.
