Description
The Charca de Maspalomas is a ideal location to watch aquatic birds. This brackish lagoon full of tamarisks and reeds is in southeast Gran Canaria within the Maspalomas Dunes nature reserve at the southern tip of Gran Canaria. It’s just 200 metres from the iconic Maspalomas lighthouse. A walkway along the western edge of the lagoon is the best spot for photography and binoculars. You will be able to observe the birds from the observation deck which has seats and a notice board. You will see as many as 24 species of migratory and resident birds. Héron cendré and Aigrette garzette are resident, while Bécasseau sanderling search the mud bottom of this quiet wetland. Goéland leucophée fly overhead and Foulque macroule and Gallinule poule-d'eau are common. The area gets occasional visits from Balbuzard pêcheur and Faucon de Barbarie.

Accès
Maspalomas is served by the Faro de Maspalomas bus station which is located near the lighthouse at the end of Avenida Cristobal Colon. Bus services can directly reach this area via the local holiday resorts, Las Palmas and the airport. It is a short walk to La Charca following local maps and signposts. A taxi rank is next to reserve and street parking for cars can be found nearby. The footpath alongside the reserve gives easy access. Walks along the dunes are cordoned off to stop access to reserve, but birds can still be observed.
