The beach in Puerto De Mogan - Gran Canaria is very child friendly. The water is quiet and there is not deep right away. The area of sand is not so big, so it will fill up quickly. It is also many different activities on the water for both children and adults. Just behind the beach is a lovely promenade with restaurants and shops.

Although Puerto De Mogan - Gran Canaria, is not very big, there's still plenty of restaurants, and almost all have views over the harbor.
In a port like this, you naturally eat fish, and several places have a dish where you get several different fish, so it's just to get started with your fingers.
You find also some places where you can get local Tappas, and then there are specialties from Germany, because some of the restaurants run by Germans.
On market day (Friday), Mogan changes character. The village is filled with people and stands from you enter the village to you reach the back of the peer. If you have not been to the market in Mogan, you have not been to Gran Canaria. It is a good idea to book 1-2 days in advance if you want to travel to Mogan by ferry as you might experience that tickets are sold out.
If you want to enjoy the idyll of this small jewel, you should stay away on Fridays. On every other day, the village is beautiful and small channels run under the houses, and you are able to sit at the harbour and enjoy a cold drink – freshly poured from one of the many bars and restaurants. If you get too comfortable and miss the last ferry (approximately 17.00), you are able to travel home by taxi or bus.
The ferries depart from Puerto De Mogan several times daily, to Puerto Rico, Anfi beach and Arguineguin. There are 2 different companies operating on these routes, the blue ferries are "Linia Bluebird" and the green is "Linia Salmon"
Both companies have boats with glass bottom, and at certain points along the way, you stop and feed the fish, which you can observe through the thick glass panes. It seems as if the fish know that there is food in store, as soon as the boats are stationary, the water surface completely alive.
There are departures from Puerto De Mogan several times a day and the trip to Puerto Rico takes about 30 minutes. If one of the "long" trip to Arguineguin, it is about 1 hour.
If you want to see the southcoast of Gran Canaria and the beach from a slightly different page, this is a good option and you decide when you will return again, you just remember to sail with the same company both ways, and you must return the same day.
There are several different boat trips that depart from Puerto de Mogan – with sailing or motorized boats – but not as many as from Puerto Rico as this harbour is smaller and fewer tourists stay here. There are several different boats and you are able to book a private boat trip at an affordable price. This allows you to decide what you want to do during the hours that you have paid for. A good idea is to walk around on the harbour and listen to the different sales reps - then deduct a little and choose the boat trip that is most suitable for you and your family.
