13 Best Things To Do in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria

While the name Puerto Rico might at first make you think of the Caribbean Sea and distant places, you must know that the Spanish resort with the same name has equally beautiful beaches and an exotic feel, perfect for a holiday in the sun.

What to do in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria - the best attractions and places to visit 

1. puerto rico beach, 2. go on a boat tour or a dolphin-watching tour, 3. shop at mogan mall, 4. palmitos park, 5. angry birds activity park, 6. coastal walk to amadores beach, 7. shopping center puerto rico, 8. gran canaria guided buggy tour, 9. spend a day at anfi del mar, 10. spend a day at playa de amadores, 11. explore the maspalomas dunes, 12. anfi tauro golf, 13. take the ferry to puerto de mogan.

Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria is a popular resort on the island of Gran Canaria, due to the year-round warm climate, which makes it the perfect destination for sunny winter breaks in Europe .

Since it is located in the southwest part of the island, Puerto Rico is a great place to stay in Gran Canaria if you want to explore the coast (it's easy to go to either Maspalomas , Playa del Ingles or Puerto de Mogan), as well as the interior of the island, where you can go on hiking trips or simply drive and enjoy the beauty of the mountain roads. 

Puerto Rico is a lively resort with many activities and options to spend your time, so you definitely won't be bored if you decide to base yourself here.

Playa de Puerto Rico is a beautiful beach with lots of bars and restaurants along the front, so it's quick and easy to grab a bite to eat or a coffee.

You'll find also sunbeds, umbrellas and lifeguards on site. 

With fine golden sand and tranquil waters, the beach in Puerto Rico is a perfect beach for families with kids and it's one of our favorite beaches in Gran Canaria to spend a day lounging in the sun.

If you're traveling by car, there are paid parking places close to the beach (the price is quite reasonable) but especially during peak season and over the weekend it gets busy, especially after 11 am, so make sure to arrive early if you want to park close to the beach.

There are lots of boat tours you can choose from and it's one of the best things to do while on holiday in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria. You can go on a short 2-3 hours your to try and see dolphins or you can join a more lengthy tour on a luxury catamaran that also includes food and drinks. 

• Dolphin watching cruises
• Luxury catamaran cruises
• Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the activity starts

This is one of the newer attractions in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria, it's modern, and has many brands of clothing and shoes, as well as jewelry. This is an open mall concept, which also has lots of bars and restaurants, so it's a great place to unwind after a "hard" day at the beach. 

Although Palmitos Park is not located in Puerto Rico, in only 30 to 50 minutes you can get there (depending on which mode of transportation you will choose) and you can spend an entire day watching lots of animals, birds, shows, as well as beautiful plants like orchids. 

Palmitos Park is a good place to visit especially for families with kids, as the little ones will enjoy for sure all the park's attractions.

This is a great place to visit in Puerto Rico if you're traveling with your family and you have small children, as they will have the best time at this park. The karting and the splash area are the top favorites for most kids, but there are several other attractions to explore. 

The Angry Birds park is easily accessible by bus. The ticket gives you all-day access to the park, which means that you can come and go as you please throughout the day. The food and drinks inside the park can be pricey, so you can go out for lunch and then come back for a few more hours of fun.

Since Puerto Rico is situated right in middle between Amadores and Anfi del Mar, why not dedicate a day to each of these other resorts to see how you like them?

Getting to Amadores beach is easy even if you decide to walk there, as there's a beautifully paved coastal path that links the two places. It's a lovely stroll that should take less than 1 hour, depending on where you start. You'll be rewarded with beautiful views of the ocean along the way and once you get to Amadores you can spend the day at the beach or you can wander around, bar hopping and sampling cocktails and beers.

Open plan shopping center, with lots of bars and restaurants, that get quite lively in the evenings especially. You will also find lots of shops to buy anything from clothing to souvenirs, and it's a family-friendly place as well, with several all-you-can-eat buffet-style Chinese restaurants, pubs, pizza restaurants and more.

Discover Gran Canaria from a different perspective on a buggy drive along some of the island's adventurous roads. Marvel at the impressive natural landscapes of Fataga. Enjoy panoramic views of the Ayagaures Valley and its surrounding mountains in a  90-kilometer buggy drive through the southern half of Gran Canaria.

• Includes pickup from various resorts and towns in the south
• Drinks included
• Free cancellation up to 24 hours before activity starts

As we previously mentioned, Anfi del Mar is located very close to Puerto Rico and it's quick and easy to drive there, or, if you don't have a car rental, you can just take a cheap taxi or hop on the bus.

Anfi del Mar is a really beautiful and relaxing place, and the beach there is gorgeous, so it's a great place to spend an entire day there, enjoying the water, the views and all the facilities. So if you're looking to change it up a bit without traveling too far from Puerto Rico, Anfi del Mar is probably your best choice for a lovely beach day in the south of Gran Canaria.

Playa de Amadores is one of the most popular beaches in the south of Gran Canaria and although it is an artificial beach, it is an attraction for tourists and residents alike, who come here to enjoy the beautiful golden sand and turquoise water.

You can easily walk to Playa de Amadores on the coastal promenade as we mentioned before, or you can also come by bus or drive here as there is a huge car park right next to the beach (and it's free).

The Maspalomas dunes should definitely be on your list of things to see, especially if it's your first time holidaying in Gran Canaria. 

The dunes deserve at least a half-day trip so that you can have time for a walk, as well as for spending time on the beach. The dunes are also great at sunset when the view from Faro de Maspalomas is really incredible on clear days.

Golfing is one of the top reasons why many people visit the Canary Islands , so if you fall into that category, you'll be glad to know there's a good golf course very close to Puerto Rico.

You can even stay in one of the villas located on the grounds of the golf course, which will be really convenient if this is the main purpose of your holiday in Gran Canaria. But the unique thing about this golf course is the fantastic view it offers, which is really unbeatable and you'll definitely want to come back. 

If you want to visit Puerto Mogan , our recommendation is to hop on the regular ferry operated by Lineas Salmon which does several daily trips between Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogan.

It's a quick and beautiful boat trip and it's much quicker than taking the bus.

Puerto Mogan is one of the prettiest places to visit on the island, also known as the Venice of Gran Canaria, so it's worth a visit if you want to explore new towns.

Shopping in Puerto Rico Gran Canaria

In the last few years the shopping experience in Puerto Rico have changed, a lot.

Two brand new shopping centers opened during 2019: The Market Puerto Rico and Mogan Mall . Mogan Mall is the biggest shopping area in the South of Gran Canaria and is a must visit when you are on holidays in Puerto Rico or the nearest resort.

Things to do in Gran Canaria

There are excursions and things to do outside the resort that we think that are worth mentioning, the main ones are markets, waterparks and shopping.

There is not a market in Puerto Rico, except the farmers market that takes place by the Puerto Rico Shopping Center every two Sundays.

You can also hire a car in Puerto Rico and get to see the island, make your own way to Aqualand or just use it to discover different resorts in Gran Canaria such as Playa del Ingles, Meloneras or Puerto de Mogan. You can see a lot of the island in just one day, if you plan it well.

Can you think of somethings to do that you would like to add to the list? Let us know in the comments 😀

In front of Mogan Malle is The Market Puerto Rico, but they don't have that many stores.

6. Nightlife Puerto Rico Gran Canaria

Another of the main reasons why many travelers choose Gran Canaria and Puerto Rico It is because of the nightlife in this area of ​​the island.

Puerto Rico’s southern coast is the island’s best-kept secret

Take it from a guayama native: the caribbean coast is worth exploring from end to end.

The scenery starts to change when you leave the tall hotels and tapón (traffic jam) of San Juan behind.

Head south on Route 52, and you will start seeing the lush green mountains of Cordillera Central. As you approach the southern coast, the dense vegetation transforms into clusters of cactuses and shrubs, painting an arid landscape against the distant view of the Caribbean Sea.

Ranging east to west from the town of Yabucoa to Cabo Rojo, the southern coast of Puerto Rico is rich in culture, food, beaches and nature. But beyond all the tangible attractions, locals say the spirit of hospitality makes the place unique. “Our greatest asset is the people, who make people feel at home,” says Milexys Rosado Romero, the owner of Hacienda Tres Casitas , a farm stay in Cabo Rojo.

I learned this growing up in Guayama, where neighbors traded mangoes for papayas. My parents were always inviting people for coffee, or my dad might arrive home with a bagful of fresh seafood he got from a friend he ran into at the beach.

Unfortunately, no reliable public transport options exist, so renting a car is the best bet to reach the smaller towns and unspoiled beaches. Highway 52 traverses the island from north to south, taking you from San Juan to Guayama in around 90 minutes, depending on traffic, and to Ponce in two hours or less. Highway 2 takes you west to Cabo Rojo and up the western coast, and Route 3 takes you along the eastern coast with scenic ocean views of Patillas and Maunabo.

If traveling during the fall, you may catch surfers in Guardarraya Beach in Patillas. It’s hard to get lost as you can easily find lesser-known beaches via Google Maps, with good cell coverage throughout the region.

Many of the lodgings offered on the southern coast, from the luxury Copamarina Beach Resort to the kid-friendly Combate Beach Resort , have been owned by local families for generations. Farm stays, small inns known as paradors and vacation rentals dominate the accommodations, making for a relaxed scene.

I recommend visiting from Wednesdays to Sundays for a livelier scene and more dining options; earlier in the week is perfect for having the beaches all to yourself.

Low-key beaches in Cabo Rojo

Even the Caribbean Sea beaches on the southern coast of Puerto Rico are in chill mode, more relaxed than their choppy Atlantic Ocean counterparts in the north.

With small waves and shallow waters, Combate Beach, on the southwest corner, is ideal for families. Make it a day-long affair with a passion fruit mojito at Annie’s Place with picturesque sunset views.

For a more rustic beach experience, go to Playa Sucia, one of Puerto Rico’s southernmost beaches. While there, hike the trails leading to El Faro de Cabo Rojo and Puente de Piedra for 360-degree views of a colorful mix of Caribbean blues, sandy-colored rocky enclaves and green mangroves along the coast. Walk a mile and a half north of Playa Sucia, and you will encounter the Salinas de Cabo Rojo, with colorful yellow-shouldered blackbirds flying over the pink salt flats.

Boquerón is a neighborhood known for its stands of local fish, oysters and clams. You can also take a dip at its small sandy strip. The neighborhood is vibrant, with music blaring throughout the many kiosks and beachside restaurants, most specializing in seafood. You don’t have to go far inland to find roasted pork at Camino Los Charros. Rosado also recommends La Catumba Lechonera among the many restaurants that specialize in pork.

Restaurants on the rise in Guayama

“Guayama esta pegao” — in style, according to what I’ve heard from many friends across the island.

A coastal city on the southeastern side, it is known for having a charming plaza (town square) with homes and buildings dating from the 1800s. One of these historical homes houses Gallo Pinto , a restaurant by chef Ángel David Moreno Zayas that has become a destination with dishes like grilled oysters, bone marrow with beef tartare, and fried red snapper.

“I’ve worked in many kitchens in San Juan and the mainland United States, but I wanted to open my restaurant in Guayama,” says Moreno Zayas of his hometown. “It started as a casual place because we were recovering from the pandemic, but now we’ve incorporated more fine-dining elements, and the reception has been spectacular.”

After a feast at Gallo Pinto, one must save room for ice cream at one of Guayama’s classic spots, Rex Cream. Owned by Chinese-Cuban immigrants, the Louke Chang family, it’s a mandatory stop. A scoop of salty-sweet corn ice cream with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon is perfect for a walk along the plaza.

At Pozuelo, a fishermen’s neighborhood beyond the city center, go to El Arcoiris for one of my childhood favorites, the octopus salad with a side of tostones. Or bite into a crispy alcapurria — a fritter made of banana and root vegetables — at El Fogón de Susa as you stroll along the beach.

You can find one of the most impressive wine lists in the south at Prime Market , where local couple Laury Cordero Sabater and Antonio Palau transformed an old home along Route 3 into an ample outdoor patio with a menu specializing in steaks.

Art and culture in Ponce

It’s hard to find Puerto Ricans prouder of their hometown than Ponceños. I’m not disputing their pride, because the city has so much to offer, especially in terms of arts and culture.

“Start with a walking tour of the city center of Ponce to learn about the history of Ponce and gain an orientation of the city,” says Melina Aguilar Colón, the founder of Isla Caribe tours. “One of the sights not to be missed is the Parque de Bombas de Ponce,” she said. Initially built in 1882 for the Exhibition Trade Fair, the Ponce firehouse is a symbol of the city; the distinct red-and-black-striped facade was an inspiration for the Ponce flag.

After walking through the city center, go for cocktails along Paseo de la Salsa Cheo Feliciano, named after the pioneering salsa singer José Feliciano. At El Marlin 107, William Collazo, a big name in Puerto Rico’s cocktail community, mixes drinks with tropical infusions like coconut water, guava and mangoes. On the weekends, expect live music along the street where you can test your salsa skills. For dinner, head to Chef’s Creations, where you catch chef Jorge Rivera cooking over a wood-fired grill in his restaurant’s patio.

Although the city has suffered structural damage during Hurricane Maria in 2017, followed by an earthquake in 2020, Ponce has focused on reconstruction and updates to many of its cultural institutions. The Teatro La Perla, a cultural hub for performance art, is set to reopen in 2025 with plays and musical performances. The Art Museum of Ponce , home of the iconic “Flaming June” by Sir Frederic Leighton (which is currently on loan to the Royal Academy of Arts in London), recently reopened its doors after extensive repairs.

Ponce is also considered the birthplace of plena music, one of the traditional sounds of Puerto Rico. Deeply infused with African beats, plena tells the story of the Puerto Rican people from the early 1900s. You can learn more about plena and other Puerto Rican music like bomba and danza at the Museo de la Música Puertorriqueña, a small museum in the city center.

El Bosque dry forest and bioluminescent bays

According to Aguilar Colón, “everybody knows about El Yunque rainforest, but nobody talks about El Bosque Seco de Guánica, the dry forest on the island’s southwest coast.” I agree.

One of the things that makes Puerto Rico unique is the contrast of ecosystems in a relatively small island. Walking along the trails, you will notice the different varieties of cactuses, Guayacán trees and mangroves as you get closer to the shoreline. Birdwatchers will rejoice with the sights of sparrow hawks, hummingbirds and brown pelicans. The dry forest is one of the island’s hottest places, so ensure you bring plenty of water and sun protection.

Next to Guánica, in the neighboring town of Lajas, there’s another natural phenomenon. La Parguera is home to one of the three bioluminescent bays of Puerto Rico. Because of overpopulation, it’s not as bright as in Vieques, but it’s still worth a trip if you’re in the area.

The local dock offers boat rides, and you can also find kayak tours taking you deeper into the bay for better views. Beyond the bay, the Parguera is known for its bustling scene on the weekends with plenty of bars, restaurants and bands.
