San Agustin

Attractions

• Playa de San Agustin: If you’re looking for a relaxing day at the beach without the usual gaggle of tourists, a trip to San Agustin Beach is the way to go! Here you can enjoy the heat a holiday in the South of Gran Canaria is famed for, on a volcanic, golden shore. The calm currents lapping the sand are perfect for young swimmers to paddle through, while the collection of cafés, restaurants, and bars along the coastal walkway are perfect for when you need a break from the sun.


• Sioux City: For a family day out with a difference, you have to visit Sioux City! Located at Barranco del Aguila in Playa del Aguila, between San Agustin and Bahia Feliz, Sioux City Park is an American Wild West Theme Park. Allow yourself to become fully immersed walking through the film set left behind from the 1975 western classic Take a Hard Ride. With plenty of shows including bank robberies, lasso displays, and cancan dancing, there is plenty going on to keep the whole family entertained for the day!
