Discover the Hidden Lighthouse Reef in Gran Canaria

 

Located close to the dunes of Maspalomas and named after the nearby lighthouse, the Lighthouse Reef is a hidden gem that not many dive companies know about. Only a 10-minute sail from the harbor, this 400-meter-long reef is an untouched area that boasts a lot of marine life and sponges. 

 

The reef starts near the lighthouse and extends to the reef of Pasito Blanco. The area around the reef is a big sandy area where you can spot angel sharks, eagle rays, and stingrays. The reef itself has some overhangs that are booming with a large variety of life. In one corner of the reef, there is a big shoal of grunts (roncadores), which often attracts barracudas.

 

One of the highlights of the Lighthouse Reef is a big overhang where turtles can occasionally be spotted. In fact, one lucky day, a large shark was also sighted here. Therefore, it is highly recommended to join us and our boat ATLANTIS to explore this amazing reef.
