Puerto Rico Beach and Marina, Gran Canaria

The Bay of Puerto Rico

This live camera looks out from the hillside over the sheltered bay of Puerto Rico, on the sunny southwest coast of Gran Canaria. In the foreground a dramatic rocky headland separates the busy yacht marina on the left from the harbour and the golden sweep of Playa de Puerto Rico on the right, all framed by the deep blue Atlantic.

What You'll See

Watch sailboats and pleasure cruisers glide in and out of one of the largest marinas in the Canary Islands, sunbathers on the sheltered beach, and the terraced white resorts climbing the surrounding hills. With sunshine almost every day of the year, the light over the water shifts from bright midday blue to warm golden evenings.
