Do the Canary Islands always have high waves?
We are considering to travel to the Canary Islands for the holidays, mainly to visit the seaside. Since we have a one-year-old toddler, we are interested in beaches which tend to have a low wave activity. We can't take a safe and pleasant bath with our child if powerful waves strike the beach all the time.
Googling "canary island waves" or similar queries will find exactly the opposite, targeting surfers or other people looking for nice waves. How can I spot places which typically have low waves? Do such places even exist on the Canary Islands?
Best Answer
I visited Tenerife and Gran Canaria, both in January. In my opinion, the best beach for avoiding the waves is Playa de las Canteras on Gran Canaria because it is protected by a natural reef called La Barra.
