Risco Partido Beach is a small, remote beach located in the municipality of Gáldar, on the northern coast of the island of Gran Canaria, Spain. The beach spans a length of 30 meters and a width of 10 meters, and is characterized by its rocky terrain, with a mixture of cliffs and pebbles.
This secluded beach is notable for its strong waves and windy conditions, which contribute to a captivating underwater landscape that has garnered the interest of divers. However, due to its isolation and the challenging conditions, the beach does not tend to get overly crowded, even during peak season.
Accessing Risco Partido Beach can be somewhat challenging as it requires a short walk on a dirt road and a descent that can be dangerous. The nearest road to the beach is GC-202. Alternatively, the beach can also be reached by boat, with the closest marina being Puerto de las Nieves, situated 12.1 kilometers away.
Despite its natural beauty and scenic views, the beach does not offer many amenities. There are no facilities such as toilets, showers, or trash cans, and there are no restaurants in the vicinity. Sunbeds and umbrellas are not available for rent, and there are no designated areas for sports or children's activities.
For those using public transportation, the Gáldar 103 bus line can be used to reach the vicinity of the beach. However, it is important to note that there is no parking available for those driving. The nearest hospital, Hospital Doctor NegrĂn, is located 45 kilometers away in case of emergencies.
Despite its lack of amenities, the beach's natural charm, spectacular sunsets, and unique underwater scenery make it a popular destination for fishermen, divers, and those looking for a quiet, serene beach experience.
