You roll off the pavement and the Atlantic opens to your right — wind lifting salt and sand while the promenade stretches ahead. On a low, stable Segway a local guide steers the pace, pointing out the ridged silhouette of the Maspalomas dunes to the south and the broad sweep of Playa del Inglés to the north. The machine hums; the coastline feels like a slow-moving companion.

History
The Maspalomas dunes and nearby salt pans have long been important for navigation and local salt production; the lighthouse (Faro) built in the 19th century became a focal point for later tourism.
Conservation
The dune field is a designated nature reserve — visitors should remain on paths, avoid littering and follow guide instructions to reduce erosion and protect breeding birds.
