The locals beach of Las Palmas. Recent upgrades include lifeguard station (hours vary with seasons) showers and washroom facilities (sketch cleanliness). Tourists warned for a lack of friendliness from locals. Here is the locals escape from tourists. Most frequented by islanders who work in tourism and just don't want to see tourists on their time off. Some restaurants in the area can be very cold towards tourists as customers. It is worth a look only to see how the dichotomy of money flows to public spaces in the city. Here is almost a religious torture of lack of facilities upkeep, water quality, access and cleanliness. Not helped by negative attitudes and general disregard for human decency displayed but some of the beaches regulars. Robbery, or borrowing without returning is frequent. Slight local police presence who don't care unless it a big issue. Beach has all the possibility to be its Las Palmas city tourist cousin Las Canateras (Which is a top ten beach of the world) except it does everything in its power to be third world. Relaxing place for locals who get along with other locals, hippies and their invited guests or paying clients.
