About Playa del Cabrón

Playa del Cabrón is one of Gran Canaria's classic sheltered bay dives: an easy shore entry, a reef line that tucks under the headland and a site that rewards beginners, trainees and photographers. The value here is the shelter, the light and the density of life rather than depth or exposure, so the site feels compact and efficient rather than intimidating.
