Maspalomas Dunes
Maspalomas Dunes—Spanish: Dunas de Maspalomas—are a dune field and beach landscape on Gran Canaria, Spain, known for its desert-like stretches of sand. The area’s dunes form a distinctive coastal system where wind-driven sand meets the Atlantic, creating shifting shapes that you won’t find in an ordinary shoreline. Today the dunes are widely recognized as a tourist attraction, with visitors drawn to the contrast between the Atlantic surf and inland sand ridges. Part of the wider conservation status associated with Dunas de Maspalomas, the dunes also link to nearby wetland habitats, including the seasonal water area often called the Charca de Maspalomas, which supports birds as the desert edge meets water.
