Bahia Feliz

Gran Canaria

Bahia Feliz is a small resort by Gran Canaria's standards and retains much of its old-fashioned ambience. Though its name means 'Happy Bay', the beach at Bahia Feliz shelves steeply into the water, with tidal conditions that make it unsuitable for children. It is invariably sunny, but there is often a stiff breeze on the beaches making it an excellent location for windsurfing. There are more than a dozen commercial centers in nearby Playa del Ingles, which provide a large range of gift shops, boutiques and fairly cheap electronic goods. Bahia Feliz has a pretty town square decked out with a good selection of restaurants and pavement cafes.
