The sea in Maspalomas is excellent for swimming and the beach is popular with families. Maspalomas is generally quieter than Playa del Ingles, but with just a 5 minute walk separating them it's easy to get to the nightlife if you want it. Otherwise you can relax in Maspalomas and take advantage of the other nearby facilities, including Holiday World, Aquasur waterpark and an 18-hole golf course.
