If you are staying in the south of the island you will need a car to go to another beaches, for example if you are staying in Maspalomas you need to go and check Amadores Beach in Puerto Rico or the fantastic Puerto de Mogán or if you are staying in Puerto Rico you need to check the sand dunes in Maspalomas and if the weather is not that good you can get your car and go past Gran Canaria Airport and go for a day of shopping in the areas of Las Palmas or Telde.
