The natural pools of Agaete popularly known by the name of “Las Salinas” are formed by three natural volcanic pools connected by submarine tunnels. They are protected from the waves especially at low tide and allow to observe some of the marine fauna of the area that enters the pools during the full tide.
It is a quiet place to spend the day, ideal for families with children as it allows the little ones to swim and have fun. They are easily accessible by walking from the Puerto de las Nieves but also have a direct access by the car.

a month agoBecause of the strong storm, there was a red flag and it was prohibited to swim when we were there. But we still did enjoy watching the waves crashing on the rocky coast. A very picturesque scenery. We will definitely come to check out the pools in action.

11 months agoBeautiful!! Bit cloudy but it was amazing. Perfect waves but didn't reach the little swimming areas. Rocky, no sand, so make sure you have suitable footwear, especially going into the water as it is slippy.

2 months agoReally cool plays - natural pools with fresh water from the ocean. Not very easy to park. But there is a bar close to the pools, for food and drinks.

4 months agoFor us the best swim we did in Gran Canaria. Blue and clear water, even in august a bit cold, but what do you expect? It is the Atlantic! A must!

2 months agoBeautiful natural pools, ideal for bathing if you don’t like deep water! There is a restaurant, a bar and the rescue service. The toilets should be kept better, at the end of the day they are rather terrible. Wheelchair access: you can get only up to a certain point with a wheelchair, as the terrain is rather harsh in some points. There is a stair with bar to hold on to walk into the water.
