Neptuno de Melenara is a statue of Neptune (Poseidon) located on Melenara beach on the island of Gran Canaria. The statue was made by sculptor Luis Arencibia in 2001. Neptuno de Melenara is made of bronze and stands about four metres high. The placement of the statue in the shallow waters at the beach make it look as if Neptune is emerging from the ocean, with his trident in his one hand, and beckoning the ocean to follow along with his other.
