Playa de Mogan, Canary Islands, Spain

Lovely small town easy to get around and plenty of amenities
Definitely deserves its "little venice" name. The town is small and easy to get around. The beach is small but well serviced, and well protected by the jetty. Plenty of beach restaurants and bars for a great range of foods. The shops are mainly independent tourist gift shops (cheap plastic chinese stuff definitely NOT from the island), but some more discerning retailers with local produce and arts (and a few designer fashion shops such as Lacoste, Esprit, DesIgual etc), as well as a number of 'duty free' style outlets. The holiday apartments around the marina are really lovely, covered in borgonvilliae, geraniums etc with a very 'Mediterranean' feel. We were staying at the Radisson Blu Mogan, which is only a short walk from the town via a fully pedestrianised wide walkway. THere's a street market there on Fridays, but again, not really local produce or crafts, mainly cheap imports.

Small beach and does get crowded.
Playa de Mogan actually refers to the public beach area in the resort of Puerto de Mogan, but most of the reviews here are for the town ( which has its own TA listing) and not the beach. So I’ll give you my review of the beach itself and then the town. The beach area , Playa de Mogan, is quite small and hence tends to be crowded, but is well sheltered with good sand and a safe swimming area. It has good facilities with the possibility exception of the portaloo toilets, but then has the advantage of being lined with touristico bars and restaurants which were of a surprisingly high standard and quite reasonable, especially on the drinks front where they compete with each other and a large local beer can be had for 2.5 Euros. I can only stretch to four stars for the beach, but the town itself was a five star stay for us. But you will need to look at the Puerto de Mogan to see why.

Great place to swim and eat out!
This is a wonderful place to enjoy the ocean and eat out at the seafront restaurants. Road access is very easy thanks to the GC-1 motorway with its tunnels and viaducts. In particular, we found the El Pescador restaurant a great place to enjoy a tasty meal. A variety of delicious foods always delivered with friendly smiles by Milo and Ali who made me and my wife feel most welcome!
