The Dragon’s Tail is a stunning geological formation located in the west coast of Gran Canaria, in the municipality of Agaete. It is an impressive cliff formation that stretches out into the Atlantic Ocean, resembling the tail of a dragon. This natural monument is one of the most unique and emblematic landmarks of the island.
The Dragon’s Tail is the result of volcanic activity that took place millions of years ago. The volcanic rock formations that make up the cliff were shaped by the wind and sea, creating a series of rugged ridges and deep ravines that give the formation its distinct appearance.
To fully appreciate the Dragon’s Tail, visitors can take a scenic hike along the coast, it can be seen from different points of the coast such as Puerto de las Nieves and it is a true spectacle of nature. Although there is no specific place to visit it, some people do it from the Balcón viewpoint in La Aldea de San Nicolás.
Overall, the Dragon’s Tail is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Agaete,
An extremely winding road takes you to the balcon. Fantastic views from the glass walled platform. Unfortunately, the road is closed a few miles further up, so you need to turn around and go back down the mountain
Nice place, highly recommend for a night observation. Just one tip - if u r going to Las Palmas GC 200 u have to come back. Few meters up from the view point the road is close.
Amazing views, and easily accessible. You can see Tenerife and Teide very well. There is also a small food/drink shop on the car park if you need anything quick. The road ahead is closed and there is not much to see(we went to check) so you will have to go back to the main road if you want to get to the coast

2 months agoBreathtaking view and a stunning place. A bit crowded though. Hard to get a spot to click pics. Only a couple of parking spaces available.
