We set off for the Maspalomas Dunes on what turned out to be the hottest day of the trip. Two kids, four kilometres on foot and absolutely no idea what was waiting for us at the end of the trail. Camels, a nudist beach, a three year old who thinks he’s a shark and a mum who can’t swim wading chest deep through the sea. Was it worth it? You already know the answer.

It was bloody amazing and we wouldn’t change a thing.

A pebbly paradise with caves, cliffs, and just the right amount of British beach chaos. After four days camping at Haven Blue Dolphin, we ended our trip exploring North Landing, from soul-soothing sea views to painfully pretty pebble walks, mermaid-worthy caves, and classic “bikini one minute, jacket the next” weather. A perfect family adventure with a salty splash of history.
