Puerto de Mogán

South coast of Gran Canaria

A small seaside village in the south of Gran Canaria, made of white houses, canals and little bridges. They call it the “Little Venice”, yet it keeps the calm rhythm of an old fishing port.

Why it’s worth a visit

Today it’s a well-loved destination, yet it has kept its old look and unhurried pace. People come to wander the tidy streets, eat by the harbour and relax on the beach.

  • White houses with flower-filled balconies, among canals and bridges
  • A harbour full of fishing boats, yachts and sea-view restaurants
  • A sheltered beach with calm water, ideal for swimming or sunbathing

Beach and strolls

Playa de Mogán is small but easy-going, with golden sand and clear water, perfect for families and couples. Strolling along the harbour among boats and fishermen leaves a simple, genuine feeling.

How to get there

  • By car along the GC-1, with parking near the harbour
  • By boat, on the sea taxi from Arguineguín or Puerto Rico
  • By bus, on regular lines from the southern towns
