The 50 best quiet beaches in Lanzarote

Visited here solely for the purpose of checking out the views which are highly rated. Access road just off the roundabout is several km long and is VERY bumpy at times so you need to be careful with your driving speed. Large car parking area so no problem getting parked (we arrived at approx. 11.00am on a Tuesday). There was a €3 charge for our car entrance fee. From the car park it's a short walk to the view point which does provide excellent views of the coastline plus you can see Fuerteventura in the distance and (presumably) a volcano or two in the opposite direction. For the best views you can walk towards the cliff edges but be aware that there are no safety barriers and the wind can be quite strong as well. The beaches here (which we didn't use) looked very nice with good access to the sea but getting down to them seemed a steepish walk from the car park area. There are a couple of eating place options but strangely I didn't notice any public toilets? Maybe I just missed them but definitely not obvious from around the viewing area and outside the eateries. Overall a nice place to visit for the views with the added bonus of good beaches. When we were leaving it was starting to get busy so obviously a popular area.

I visited this beach because it’s said to be the most popular on the island. The access road is several kilometers long and quite bumpy, so you need to drive carefully. Parking is no problem—there’s a large lot (€3 car entrance fee), and even when we arrived around 13:00 on a Monday, spaces were available. From the parking area, it’s just a short walk to a viewpoint with fabulous views of the coastline, and on clear days you can even see Fuerteventura in the distance. For the best photos you can walk closer to the cliff edges, but be careful—there are no safety barriers and the wind can get strong. The beach itself, however, wasn’t what we expected. The water looked dirty, it was crowded (as you can see in the photos), and getting down from the parking area involved a fairly steep walk. There are a couple of small buffets, but I couldn’t find any public toilets. Overall, I wouldn’t say this is the best beach on the island. The cliff views are beautiful, and the sea is calmer here, but if you want to swim, I’d recommend coming early in the morning before it gets busy. Personally, I prefer Playa de Janubio.

Great place for a big open water swim, managed 1300 metres at this beach which is 600m long. This is the first of three beaches at this location, you can only access it by foot by walking across a mountain path behind hotel sandos. There are no life guards, go in a strong pair of walking shoes and use a tow float when swimming. Keep away from rocks as people fish from them. Water is very clean and sandy beach easy to get in and out.

Beautiful small beach with shallow waters. Parking available on site free of charge and you'll have to go down some stairs to reach the beach but nothing to worry about. Two restaurants available there as well together with a small shop where you can get drinks.

Stunning natural beach with surrounding cliffs! It takes a bit going down and up by man made steps but it's totally worth it. If you're in Lanzarote, this is a must see area. Entrance is 3e only so not a big deal. There's a restaurant if you want to eat or drink at the top of the cliff, but it is expensive. Considering there's no mains power or water, everything is supplied through the generator so no wonder it's expensive.

✅️Pros: •Gorgeous golden sand and crystal-clear water •Protected cove with relatively calm swimming •Excellent spot for snorkeling and enjoying marine life •Stunning natural scenery, perfect for photos ⚠️Cons: •Access road is unpaved; drive carefully ~3-5 kilometers •National Park entrance fee: €3 per vehicle (I think the evening hours are free..) •Very limited shade; bring umbrella, water, and snacks (There is a small restaurant btw.) •Can get crowded during peak hours •Not ideal for small children or people with mobility issues, as you have to descend a long staircase to reach the beach. (50-60 meters long stair) 😉Tips: •Visit during sunset for breathtaking views •Bring sun protection, water, and snacks •Wear comfortable shoes for walking on rocky paths to the beach

20min drive on the bumpy potholed gravel road to get to the mediocre beach...just go somewhere else, there are more beaches on the Lanzarote and Fuertaventura that dont wreck your car while getting to them. There is no shower or toilet on the beach and no shade, only two bars and a ice cream shop overlooking the beach...we came in the afternoon so we did not have to pay anything to get in to the beach.

One of the best places on the island for great moments with music, sunset, and food.

A beautiful, long beach with clean sands. Swimming is very enjoyable, even though the water is chilly. There is showers almost everywhere, and when you climb back on the main road you have everything you'll ever need: bars, restaurants, shops etc. Overall a great experience.

This is a beautiful beach! The water is crystal clear, warm, and calm with no waves. It’s so clean that you can see fish swimming right by the shore. The sand is incredibly soft, and renting two sunbeds with an umbrella costs €10.50 (cash only). I highly recommend getting the umbrella, as the wind can be strong and might blow sand onto you

A completely average beach. Sunbeds were a bit expensive at €10.5. There’s no shade, so definitely rent one and bring your own drinks, as there’s nothing nearby. Showers are available here for free.

Gorgeous beach! Sun bed hire is 10.49 euros for X2 and 7.00 euros for 1 and the sunbeds on the main strip towards the wall where the toilets are are nicer because your blocked from wind a little bit

Wide beach with clear water and softy sandy bottom.

Great place for swimming, sunbathing

One of the best beaches I have visited. Stunning views of the Chinijo archipelago. It's clothing optional. An easy walk of 1 hour from the town and ferry port.

One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to! You cannot swim or bath, but the sand in fantastic and the view is even better. You can enjoy the sun and the sound of the sea for hours! But dont miss the last ship from Graciosa 😉

Most beautiful and cleanest beach I've ever seen! Little paradise. Very chill to just lay down in the sun on the soft sand and listen to the waves crash on the beach. Bliss!

Fantastic beach with plenty of space on soft sand. It took about an hour to walk from the ferry port along the dusty track. There are no facilities or shops other than at the port. We took a packed lunch with us to the island together with plenty of drinks and sun screen. The far end of the beach is clothing optional. If you can't face the long walk there is a taxi service to the car park.

Amazing beach. I went there on a regular bike and it was quite tough to get to. I recommend renting an electric bike. The beach itself is beautiful, with sand dunes and turquoise water. However, you need to know that you can't swim there because it's too dangerous. This is a wild beach and it should stay like this 🩵

One of the most beautiful beaches I saw in my life. No restaurant, no bar, take food and drinks.

The best beach on the island. Fantastic landscape. The sand is thin and the dunes with some vegetation adds to the place. Can be reached hiking, by bike or by a tour/taxi. This is a nudist friendly beach. It is very long and you can walk also towards both sides of the beach and take amazing pictures. Also, from the parking lot you can make a right and walk to Montaña Bermeja.

Lovely little sandy beach. A great spot for snorkelling and swimming. We went on the weekend, arriving late morning. There was still plenty of space and it never got super busy. It is also empty at sunset and is a lovely spot to chill. A good selection of bars/restaurants on the promenade, plus a handy little supermarket.

Cozy beautiful beach with clear water and sandy bottom. Sand is white (artificial), very pleasant compared to the black one on the whole island. 😀 Perfect for swimming. Vibe like at Calais in Cala d‘or in Mallorca. One point less since it’s small and full of kids.

A really lovely little, manmade sandy beach. Protected by the walls the water is super calm. Whilst the western edge is a bit rocky the eastern part of the beach is 100% sandy with zero issues walking in and our of the water. Lovely soft sand. I stayed at TUI Blue Flamingo Beach which is the hotel right on this beach. It can and does get busy but not too busy. There are a couple shops, restaurants, bars, a cafe and an ice cream parlour overlooking the beach. It is served by a 13km promenade. There are no services on this beach such as toilets, changing rooms or rentable sun loungers. The mini marts have lockers you can rent.

Where do I even begin? We made a terrible mistake by booking our holiday at Merry Hill Store. My husband, daughter, and I were all excited to go, especially after our agent highly recommended it. We arrived late at night and were sent to a room the furthest away from anything, across a road. To make matters worse, the key cards didn’t work. I went back to reception and asked for a room closer to the front of the hotel, away from any open road. They gave me room A37, but the toilet was making noises like a T-Rex, and the shower didn’t work properly. These issues were reported on the first day. The TUI team on site, on the chat, and the hotel staff advised us multiple times that maintenance would fix it, but they never did. They didn’t even go to our room at any point. On the morning of day 5, they offered to move rooms, but it was day 5 of a 7-day stay! I was given a key for another unsafe and isolated room, just as bad as the first. The ceiling had been replaced multiple times and looked like it had been lifted and shifted out of Baghdad. There were cracked tiles everywhere that people could get hurt, and multiple chunks of concrete steps were missing from areas, leaving raised metal drains that could cut open people’s feet. The entire hotel was dirty. From the eatery to the stairs leading to the rooms, there was rubbish and hair everywhere. It was clear that the hotel needed money spent on it rather than TUI sending that money elsewhere. The food was also a major issue. There was fish in the cheesey pasta, undercooked food, and basic hygiene was missing from the dirty plates. Hair was even found in the food as it was placed on the surface. It was just disgraceful. On another day, a child was sick in the food area, and the family was not seen for a few days after. I requested a downgrade of our food option, as evidenced by the photo I have (it’s £934). Multiple placards around the hotel advertised the costs of upgrading. The place is a health and safety hazard. We’ve spent over £1000 eating out of the hotel because of its poor quality and dangerous conditions. Why can’t you downgrade if you can upgrade? It’s the same process in reverse! After speaking to other people, I discovered that the entire hotel is in the same state, and the staff are fully aware of it. The TUI rep, Dylan, offered to sort my late check-out, but it was only until 2 pm because they had others coming into our room. I asked how he could possibly put people in the room knowing its condition, but he said that was his problem to sort out if they complained. He’s sent me a link to refund me the 20 euros to the wrong mobile number, which seems like it’s been done on purpose, I’ve asked the TUI team on the app a number of times to correct this and they still haven’t. An hour until we leave, and the receptionist recommended using the ‘spa’ shower, advising us to book it quickly as they get booked up. We went down to use them, and my 9-year-old daughter and I went to the ladies’ room. Next thing, there was a crash, and the shower door came off, hitting my daughter. She slipped and fell onto the raised basin, where there was a rusty latch or screw that had broken off. She has severe bruising and is screaming. I ran to the receptionist, who said she had told the hotel and TUI staff that they were not safe repeatedly, but her advice had been ignored. This clearly indicates that despite being told that there’s clearly no care from either TUI or hotel management. The TUI manager and the deputy hotel manager came down to speak to us. I asked the hotel manager to fetch a doctor, and he got the doctor to check Scarlett’s ribs to make sure they weren’t broken. This hotel is dangerously unsafe. I’m horrified that there’s no accountability or ownership of the issues we raised. Multiple laws are being broken, and it ended with my child sustaining a serious injury. I have photos of every point I’ve made above, including the injury she sustained.

Beautiful beach. Crystal clear waters. Small fish swimming around you and near to no rocks on the left hand side of the beach. One of the best beaches in Lanzarote.

We really enjoyed this beach - there were shops near and the beach was nice also! Perfect with kids but even without!

Very nice beach with calm water. Only thing is there's no sun loungers or umbrellas for rent. We spend there several hours on one day as it was cloudy but other days, Playa Dorada was our favourite.

Extremely crowded place. And because of this, water is dirty and muddy with sea weed and trash. There are so many better beaches in the island, I wouldn’t recommend this one

Beautiful beach. Can be quite crowded and loud tho. Water is very shallow (it’s quite a walk to the deeper water). Recommend coming in the morning cause water moves with the tide (it’s less in the afternoon)

Really enjoyed this hidden gem of Lanzarote. Plenty of free parking if you're visiting via car. Clear shallow water so ideal for snorkelling and paddling with also plenty of room to go for a swim in the deeper sections. Great for families.

One of the most beautiful beach :) The water is totally clean 🏖️🌊 recommend for children too.

This was definitely the nicest beach we visited. Loved the windbreakers giving you personal space too. Water is lovely and clear and shallow for a good distance. Not too busy and plenty of parking.

Absolutely stunning. The colours of the sand and water are incredible. Because od limited parking space it’s not so crowded

This beach is like a series of small lagoons. Parking is very close to the beach, 30 seconds walk, the beach has the semi circle walled vine growing buildings which are perfect to set up a beach camp with. The water here is very warm as the tide goes out. Good snorkelling around the rocks

A dream beach for a long walk, for surfing, for admiring beautiful mountains in the colors of the sun, for stopping and enjoying the moment, the beauty of the world, nature and life... which is so fragile. Huge waves create an amazing setting. Definitely a place to return.

Surfers and fisherman could be happy in this small village, still some streets without pavement. Also some restaurants where to have something. If you are a lover of good views, this is also a place you will enjoy, the sea and the mountains make a remarkable picture.

Great beach with a relaxed atmosphere, and plenty of restaurants in the village. The beach is large and windy, and not really suitable for swimmers. Spectacular views of La Graciosa and the mountains.

Playa de Famara, located on the northwest coast of Lanzarote, is one of the island’s most iconic and breathtaking beaches. Stretching over 6 kilometers, it is renowned for its golden sands, wild natural beauty, and the dramatic backdrop of the Risco de Famara cliffs. Why Visit Playa de Famara? 1.

Playa de Famara is a must-visit for nature lovers, surfers, and anyone looking to experience Lanzarote’s raw and rugged beauty. Its unspoiled landscapes and serene vibe make it a true gem of the Canary Islands.

Great for surfing or just relaxing, as long as you find a space to hide from wind. If you are looking for nice, sandy beach, no rocks, just sun and chill, need to find a different place, as this is more natural, surfer oriented.

It's the best beach for beginners and intermediate surfers in Lanzarote. Always check weather forecast before going and don't dare the currents. Lifeguards have only one station to cover more than 3km wild beach, please be careful 🙏🌊

An absolute gem of lanzarote. Surfing is popular here. The restaurant we ate at served unbelievable food. The views from the beach are stunning. Will be back.

Beautiful beach, pet friendly. Only few people and surfers. Marked as danger. We just got our feet wet.

Beautiful, wide, sandy beach. Arrive early to nab a corralito, -the high tide and big waves might cover most of the sand. Spectacular cliffs to the lh side, which offer good chances of seeing paragliders jumping off the beach. Be cautious, in big waves there are some strong undercurrents, not for little ones or weak swimmers. We loved it here. Can you spot the paraglider in our photo..? 😎

a beautiful soft sand beach, great for surfing, with stunning views of La Graciosa. there's a parking lot nearby, but it gets crowded. the nearby town of Órzola has a supermarket for any essentials.

beatiful beach, but its forbidden to swim. nonifnrqstructure and bad road. you can go above the rocks on the left to get to another beach. he careful here - dont be here too lonv and check tides, becuase you can get stuck when there is tide! there is almost no people. no shade you can hide in on sunny days. one of the best if not the best beach in lanzarote.

CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: There is a rusty and neglected "Swimming Prohibited - Dangerous Beach" sign posted as you turn onto the dirt road leading to the beach. I strongly suggest you heed the warning. Just today a swimmer tragically drowned here just 20 meters out. The beautiful beach is framed by tall cliffs on one side and black rocks on the other. Check the tide before coming. Waves can get big and there are strong undercurrents that can easily drag you out to sea. At high tide, the swell is strong enough to sweep right up to the rocky slope, leaving nothing dry.

Ww drove 30 minutes from costa Teguise because this beach seems highly recommended but its not worth it!! Taxi cost €50 and dropped us a 30 minute walk from the beach. By the time we got there we found most of the beach covered in water and the conditions were far too dangerous even locals were leaving. The area also speak minimal English which is fine but something to be aware of as a tourist. We had to leave immediately, just go to whatever ur local beach is as they all seem similar on the island

Probably the most beutiful beach in Lanzarote. Breahtaking views, you can take really great photos there. Finest sand. Not the best place for sunbathing, because of the wind.

While staying close by we absolutely loved playa Chica. First of all on our second day we went down to the restaurant on the pier and sat there for hours enjoying a sangria and jumping off the pier with the kids, the water is crystal clear and not even cold. Two of the other days we went snorkeling on the beach next to it, a small little cube again with crystal clear water and plenty of fish to see swimming around you, my two children and wife absolutely loved this and was one of our holiday highlights. I'd advise to bring a snorkel and if possible go during the week as the pier can become pretty crowded on the weekends especially Sunday with locals, which is expected. If In the area I'd make sure this is on your to do list or maybe get a taxi as taxis are inexpensive.

Great beach for snorkelling. You can either bring your own stuff or you can hire a mask for €5 from the booth on the beach. Saw lots and lots of fish and the water is quite calm. Highly recommended.

Lovely little beach, couple of coffee shops there too. We went snorkeling it was €5 to hire a snorkeling set for the day and there are boxes in the dive centre to keep your belongings in safely if you wish to do so. The water is lovely and great place to swim with fish. You also have your water sports there like jet ski, para salaing and so on.

A superb beach that is great for everyone. It has toilets nearby, cafes at either end at reasonable prices and is easy to access. It's great for scuba diving as it slopes gently away to make it easy for novice divers discover scuba on the beach side and boat access on the other side by steps. There is a jet ski and parascending to one side if you fancy a bit of something different to do whilst visiting.

Lovely little free public sandy beach, great location, easily approchable. Great for snorkeling, as well as there are rocks in the water. It also has a free public toilet nearby and showers. There is parking nearby as well, but it does tend to fill up quite quickly. The area is popular for divers as well.

Nice beach, we used Safari Diving tho and went snorkeling around the rocks - amazing variety of fish just off the shore.

You can see so many fishes snorkelling🐟! Limited parking space so we parked at a mall near by. 3.30€ for 3 hours parking..

Lovely horseshoe-shaped little beach for paddling or swimming, with the perfect blend of sand and rocks. Well worth a visit if you are in Costa Teguise.

It's a beautiful little beach in a cove – you've got toilets and it's pretty accessible. There are lots of fish to see and space to set up for the day if you want. Met some great people here too. We've been back multiple times already to enjoy the sun, sea, and sand.

El Jablillo beach is located in Costa Teguise, in the east of Lanzarote. It has beautiful and crystal-clear water through which one can observe fishes swimming around. It is perfect for the whole family, and I highly recommend visiting this beach if you are nearby!

The pictures I took don’t do it justice. Best beach in the area by far. Mixed crowd, from younger to older to couples to families. We absolutely loved it. Make sure to explore this gem.

Lovely little beach. Take some bread and a snorkel loads of fish to see.

Great little gem of a beach, perfect for snorkeling/scuba diving, there is hundreds of fish here. Clear blue waters. Few sunbeds and umbrellas, toilets near by and not far away to get some refreshments.

It’s a beautiful beach with volcanic rock formations that create a natural environment suitable for sun-bathing. Clean water, white sand. You may sea fish and other sea creatures on the rocks. The only downside is there is no public toilet apart from in the restaurant nearby. Unless I missed something however that’s unlikely. So one star less.

Stunning, long, pristine sandy beach. Fairly sheltered from the strongest winds by a rocky facade on the left, more open on the right. Quiet when we arrived (early June) with mainly nudists along the entire stretch. No facilities on the beach, but a walk back to the car park finds a busy bar for refreshments.

Beautiful and spacious beach with clean, clear water and great waves. Despite its size, it’s usually not crowded, though you may come acrosssome visitors who sunbathe nude. Perfect place to relax, watch the waves, and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere.

Not to be confused with Playa Memos next bay along.Like I did. Just keep to the right of the camping compound and park on the side away from the entrance. This place is just perfect. Almost 80% naturist. Plenty of space. Lovely soft sand, gently sloping beach into the sea. Not too many rocks in places. It’s popular with some small boats but I think they came here for the same reason we did. It’s a great place to explore walking over the headland with interesting coves all the way round to Papagayo.(Which was packed with textiles today) we spent a lovely day in the sun cooling off in the refreshing sea. We are going back tomorrow hope it’s still the same mix of people. Remember to bring your own food and drink there are no facilities here but that’s what you expect. You could always pop your clothes on and go to Papagayo where they do have a very busy restaurant and a large car park. We prefer our sandwiches and a bottle of frozen water in a shiny old crisp bag. If you are a naturist you will love this place. If not please go to Papagayo. Returned for another visit. Saturday this time and if anything the naturist % was higher. One point I discovered is that at low tide it can be slightly more difficult to get into the sea because of the rocks but as the tide rises it gets easier. Also there is a slightly better sandy patch 2/3 of the way down the beach in front of the post with the life belt on it.

The guides will tell you “there are no gay beaches on Lanzarote” but this beach has a mix of gay and straight, naturist and clothed. It’s rocky at both ends and sandy in the middle. Road in is gravelled and a bit rough in places but it’s not difficult, we had a VW Polo hire car and it managed it. Definitely worth the effort

This is an ideal destination for a catamaran trip. The water is incredibly crystal clear—don't hesitate to jump in!

My favorite beach of Playa blanca. Beautiful sand and not overcrowded, since its a bit far. Totally worthy walk a bit to get there

4 because of the bad road. But if you can put up with that, it's brilliant and would definitely be a 5. It's pretty much completely naturist, which is great IMO. It's a lovely beach. It's fairly easy to access to from the "Parking Playa del Papagayo".

Huge open beach, unfortunately we visited it during La calima and as it’s so open there was nowhere to hide from the incoming sand of the Sahara.

A really quiet stretch of beach that is a delight. Easy to access and plenty of space to relax and unwind. We stayed at the Riu Paraiso and just walked out of the gates , over the road and were there. You'll eventually find a bar or cafe or somewhere to drink and eat, as well as a few shops to look around and chill. The view at night accross the bay is so nice, well worth a walk.

Wide beach that’s quite windy but very quiet if you like that. Two beds and a parasol is €10,50 with cash only but you get that for the whole day until 5pm. The water is beautiful but a bit rocky and not completely clear with some seaweed and etc but that can’t be helped. Probably some nicer beaches on the island but it was nice to just lie in the sun on a quiet beach.

Two beds and parasol 10.5 Euros, little bit windy when we were here end of June. You can only stay until 5PM which i find quite short if you go on afternoon swimm. Also you can place your own towel anywhere and not pay, stay as long as you like

This is one of my favourite beaches in Lanzarote. You can hire 2 sunbeds and a parasol for only €10.50 all day. The water is shallow and great for swimming. There is plenty of free parking and places to eat nearby, as well as free public toilets by the entrance to the beach. I hope to return again next year.

Clean beach,beach chairs to hire 2 plus umbrella for 8.50 euros all day,wasn't busy when I took the family,clear water woth plenty of fish

Beautiful long clean sandy beach and never seemed to be overly busy. Absolutely stunning views. Sun loungers and parasols are also on most of the beach and can be rented for the day. Free toilets and showers are also available and are kept very clean. Can be a little windy here at times.

I hate to leave a review on what is specifically a beach, and a really nice beach at that. However the whole beach front area and restaurants are very tired and over "british-fied" if that makes sense. Think like a run down blackpool, where each restaurant could do with a lick of paint. Quite a few vacant buildings as well. It's sad and I'm sure 10-15 years ago this would have been a much nicer area to walk around. Also, big big problem for me, the lack of public toilets! Walked for ages without seeing one!

Beautiful beach with golden sand and clear waters. Great for swimming, sunbathing, and especially windsurfing when the breeze picks up. Plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby, so it’s easy to spend the whole day here. Relaxed atmosphere and well-kept – highly recommend!

Playa de las Cucharas is a beautiful and sandy beach in Costa Teguise. It has beautiful white sand and the water is crystal clear, and ideal for all the family. It's dotted with breakwaters of volcanic rocks which allows spectacular photos to be taken on the beach!

Beautiful beach, lots of Little Rock pools with little creatures to find. Close to shops and bars. Very easy to spend the day away here on the soft sand.

Lovely beach, clean with nice water. Overall a pretty safe place. Would swim here again.

Beautiful beach. Very calm and crystal clear waters.

Great beach! Nice size and life guards are about to monitor everyone’s safety. Didn’t need to pay for a bed or umbrella as was able to put towels on the sand and we coped just fine!

Amazing playa. We had a great time there. Always clean.

Lovely beach, supervised by lifeguards, backed onto by any number of bars & restaurants. Also has well-appointed public toilets. Go here for sun/swim/eats & drinks

The water is shallow for a long time and there are stones in it. It looks great, the sand is nice and clear but you cannot swim in the water properly.

Well maintained beach, good for spending a time with friends. A lot of rocks in the ocean, you cannot swim because water is shallow - it’s more for quick refreshment

Beautiful views. The beach is clean too.

This beach is very beautiful! The sand is nice and clean and there are no rocks, the water is also good and clear, you can see people doing different sports inside the water, you can also see some marine life on the rocks such as crabs. There are also many good restaurants opposite this beach, it is recommended to visit it

Beautiful sandy beach, quiet and peaceful For the first time I was suprised theres less than 10 people in such a big beach. We didn't stay much longer as the wind keep on blowing the sand into our mat. Maybe bringing a personal beach bench is a better option. There's showers and road accessible for wheelchair. Beach is surrounded by buildings. Closed to city. No dogs area.

Very nice sandy beach at short distance from the port by walking or using a taxi (jeep). However full of people and lots of boats including the noisy ferries with hundreds of people on it hopping around the island. Not for me.....

Very nice beach on La Graciosa island. Sandy and clean. Views to Montaña Amarilla (The Yellow volcano). Crystal-clear waters. A must-visit !

The tide affects a lot the size of the beach. Rather shallow water, can be good with kids.

Great day on Playa Francesa in combination with boat tour! Enjoyed the day ☺️

Beautiful beach on the stunning island of La Graciosa. Clothing optional.

Thus is one of the best beaches on the island. Sandy and clean. The pictures say everything. Nudist friendly. Views to Montaña Amarilla. There are three parts of the beach equally beautiful although the first one is very rocky. The other two as you approach Montaña Amarilla have sand also when you go in the sea. Crystal waters and refreshing temperatures. We spent an hour there. When it is sunny the colours are fantastic. The beach also goes by the name Franceses.

The beach is amazing but the tours that go there are very touristic. You will have to go by ferry first before you can take a boat towards this beach. We only had a little while there. We regret not taking the ferry ourselves and rent a boat. But hey if you know everything up front.....

Nice experience + snorkeling We paid 3 Euro at the gate, few km from the beaches. The road was bumpy, felt like I was in Dakar race. There's several beaches nearby but we decided to stay at this beach. The waves are really small so its perfect for swimming and snorkeling. My friend did the snorkeling and he saw many interesting fishes. There's small cafe on the hill, not sure if they have toilets. Bring lots of water and sunscreen. Some good books or friends.

amazing and quiet place with amazing views and sandy beach. The road here is bit adrenalin, but OK :)

Wide beach and stunning waves. Just next to the quiet Playa de los Papagayos, this soft sand beach offer an amazing waves show. Worth the visit!

You have 2 beaches almost next to each other (Papagayo and this one). Here it is quieter, more space. These are beaches where you can escape and surrender to nature and live every moment here.

Great sandy beach just a short walk from Papagayo. A lot of space and a lot of waves.

In my opinion the nicest beach in the area the sea is crystal clear and the sand is smooth and warm. If you go above to one of the vantage points you can see a myriad of blues and greens in the water like in a travel brochure

There are several beaches to choose from here. All reached by a bumpy dirt track inside a national park. You have to pay about 3 euros to enter but well worth it. The beaches nearest the car parks are the busiest and nudity is common on all of them. There is also a really cool bar with lovely staff overlooking one of the beaches.

A relatively quiet beach with stunning views. There is a car park down the long dust track from the edge of the town. You can't swim in the sea as it is too rough, but the beach itself more than makes up for it.

Beautiful beach! But you should come in the morning… at 13:00 (September ) the sandy part was gone due to high tide.

To those who seek solace and inspiration, I implore you: venture forth to Playa de Orzola. Whether you traverse its shores or witness its splendor from the sky with a paragliding tandem flight, let its beauty awaken your spirit and ignite your sense of wonder. For in this hidden gem, nature's poetry sings, and dreams take flight on the wings of possibility. May your journey be as magical as mine, and may Playa de Orzola Lanzarte forever hold a special place in your heart, as it does in mine. 🌟🌊✨

Lovely quiet beach. Small dirt track to get there. Ample parking. Good little stone wind breakers. Lots of volcanic rock pools. Care required. A lot winder than the South, so rougher tides. Sand around the rocks has a little water vortex so it can easily wash out under you and you can sink in. Pretty much quicksand. Wouldnt recommend swimming in the sea if you are not a confident swimmer but you can certainly dip your feet in or have a nice walk along the beach.

Best beach. When big waves full of surfs but also good with small kids. Biger kids can enjoy waves.

We really liked this remote beach. Not many people are there. However it is little windy and there are waves. Also heard that there could be some underwater dangerous currents so be aware.

Small and beautifully beach near the rocks. Not crowded at all. But lots of waves so maybe not best place to swim

**Beautiful views and striking black sand.** The waves are strong, and the shore is quite rocky, making it less ideal for swimming. Families might enjoy exploring the rock pools, but the current can be noticeable due to the wave conditions.

Volcanic beach with black stones and rocks in the sea. It is not sand but it is beautiful nonetheless and the stones make for clear water. There is a quite a strong current though and waves so getting into the water is not exactly easy. We had a great time though.

✅️Pros: •Stunning black volcanic sand and dramatic scenery •Quiet, few tourists •Nearby Salinas de Janubio is perfect for photos ⚠️Cons: •Not suitable for children to swim!!! •Even strong swimmers should be very cautious of strong currents •Very limited facilities (no restaurants, shade, or showers) •Rocky/lava sections can be uncomfortable barefoot 😉Tips: •Bring water, sunscreen, and basic first aid supplies •Ideal spot for sunset photography •Wear comfortable shoes for walking on rocky areas

Playa del Janubio is a stunning black sand beach located on the island of Lanzarote, part of Spain’s Canary Islands. This beach is famous for its dramatic volcanic landscape and proximity to the Salinas de Janubio, traditional salt pans where salt has been harvested for centuries. Here are a few highlights: Features: 1. Black Sand and Volcanic Beauty The beach is composed of black volcanic sand, a result of Lanzarote’s volcanic origins, creating a striking contrast with the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. 2. Wild and Untamed Vibes Playa del Janubio is not typically ideal for swimming due to strong currents and waves, but it is a perfect spot for photography, walking, or simply soaking in the raw beauty of nature. 3. Proximity to Salinas de Janubio The nearby salt pans are one of Lanzarote’s most iconic features, producing natural sea salt and offering a beautiful mosaic of colors, especially during sunset. 4. Peaceful Atmosphere It is less crowded than other beaches on the island, making it ideal for those seeking tranquility.

Stunning rocky beach 🏖️

Lovely area. Didn't see many birds bearing in mind its a nature conservation site. But still. Lovely vlocanic black sand beach with rocky areas and fairly strong tides lapping at the rocks. A nice walk . Some may want to know its a clothing optional beach too. Didn't bother me at all but some may be a bit put out by it.

Nice black sandy beach with pebbles. Salinas on the other side of the road. Views are good for sunset.

Going into the natural park costs 3 euros per car. The way is quite challenging so I do not recommend to go with a low car but a higher one. The beach is beautiful but nothing so impressive, if you ask me. There are far more special beaches to see on the island. Quite busy beach so if you need some disconnection might not be the best option.

Beautiful beach, the water is clear, clean and, when we went, a very pleasant temperature. It was busy but there is plenty of space. There is no shade here so if you plan on staying for a while, take a robust parasol. It was quite busy in the parking area, with not much room to maneuver so be careful. The dirt track starts straight off the roundabout and yesterday the was a pot hole right where the road ended that was difficult to see so I would suggest dropping your speed exiting the roundabout. However the rest of the dirt track was flat and in good order. Be ready with your card to pay €3 entrance fee, although when we left at 6pm cars seemed to be entering freely. It is a great place to see the sunset so we are going back this evening.

Beautiful beach, I walked here from Playa Blanca and it was so worth it. The beach is full of locals, is great for swimming and is so relaxing. I didn't see any facilities here, so make sure you take plenty of food and water with you.

Staying in Sandos Papagayos hotel and took around 10 minutes to walk here. Need some good shoes due to the terrain but simple to get to. Lovely views and a nice beach. No facilities are here, so bring your own drinks and snacks and hopefully you have a good bladder to hold it in😂

Gorgeous beach, very large. We arrived at 10 am and there were like 3 other people at that time. it he afternoon still pretty much empty (easter holidays). Very windy when we visited with lots of waves. Naturalists friendly. It took us about 8 min on the bumpy dirt road from the normal road to get here, driving very slowly

Lovely beach a bit crowded, waves are bit rough but not all the time so I recommend going there

Fantastic beach with soft sand and easy access to the water. Wonderful views and great place for sunset viewing

Windy and wild beach, amazing vegetation, thin white sand, blue waters. However, people leave their trash behind and it is quite unpleasant. There should be some cleaning service and check on tourists. Inside beautiful round structures, against wind, you can find lots of people's hair and various types of trash.

Queit, peaceful and not much people

Had a lovely swim in the water today. Really enjoyed the waves and moved a bit up the coast to the lagoon where we were able to relax in the waist deep warm water

Amazing clean white beach, been there in a winter morning, it was a bit windy but there are some stone buildt wind shields that keep you warm if sunnya

Very nice white sandy beach with a mix of lava stone, for sun bath only and to watch the strong blue waves hitting the shore.

Beautiful beach, white sand. Getting into the water can be tough on the feet. Great for a Snorkel.

One of the best beach of the Lanzarote with amazing white sand

A stunning sandy beach with breathtaking views and crystal-clear water. The serenity of the location adds to its charm. While the restaurants are on the pricier side, it's understandable given the secluded nature of the area and the presence of just two gastronomic spots.

Really great place to dive or snorkel!! Fantastic flora and fauna underwater. Hidden caves and unique animals I've seen there. Was a great experience! On the beach no options for shade, so if you plan for a whole day there, definitely take a sunbrella or a pop up beach tent with you. Take a watershoes with you if your feet is sensible, as if there is low tide, it's stony there. Otherwise it's sandy and amazing. One restaurant is at the top of the hill side, next to the beach. Always busy and que there, so if you hate to wait, take food and drink with you. If you go buy car, you just have yo pay €3 for the parking there per day. We loved it!! We can just recommend it!!.

Beach is nice but small and even in March full of people. Two nearby restaurants are quite expensive, because there is no other competition here. It is worth to visit Playa Mujeres, which is large and even more beautiful.

Gorgeous beach with crystalline waters and fish, great for snorkelling. But way too many people, definitely go first thing in the morning. We stayed 30 min and left as it was packed by 11am

Amazing place, crystal clear water and full of sea life to observe with a proper snorkel. Take food and water with you. Sometimes you need to pay entrance or parking.

Beautiful view. Not good to visit when there is 19 degrees and windy 🌬

Beautiful beach and a bumpy ride to get there.

We followed directions to the abandoned hotel on Google maps. The road is very bumpy so we had to leave our rental car and walk. We then discovered some cliffs with some pools at the bottom, near the sea. However it wasn’t safe to go anywhere near the pools due to the waves. We think it was high tide because i can’t imagine how anyone can go down to the pools and not get swept away. Overall was quite interesting to see the choppy sea and massive waves but wasn’t safe. One of the pictures is of the pools when we discovered them and the next is the waves which appeared just 10 seconds after the first pictures, quite scary really!

The worst decision of our trip. The place is hidden, and it’s almost impossible to get close by car without damaging it. After parking, you have to cross dangerous, wet volcanic rock. My girlfriend slipped and ended up covered in cuts from the sharp rocks. The tide can completely cover the path, making it truly dangerous. Other than that, nothing special: the “pool,” if you can even call it that, lives up to its name — it’s little more than a puddle, which is why the locals gave it that name "charcones". The pictures are heavily Photoshopped.

It’s a beautiful place, but please watch out for the waves. I was there with low tide, but the ocean is still dangerous because of the waves. So, make sure if you are gonna swim in side of the pools, let watch someone else the waves and never swim there alone!

Well it is a walk and a trek down but it is a fantastic tidal pool with lovely warm crystal clear water. Do not come if you are not able to clamber over boulders

It was a real struggle to find these pools because it’s not accurately marked on Google or clearly sign-posted from the road. When you turn off the main road and drive down the dirt road to the Water management plant on the right, here you must leave your car (unless you have a Land Rover that can handle the rocky path!) and walk left on the rocky road along the coast. We followed the road for several KMs, stopping every now and then to look over the cliff to check for pools. After about 30 mins we found some stunning pools but they were almost impossible to reach by climbing down. We finally found one that we could access by climbing down the rocks but it’s not easy and not very safe. The pools themselves are gorgeous and a pleasure to swim in but it takes a whole lot of effort to get there so I wouldn’t recommend going unless you’re up for a real adventure!

Great looking natural pools by the sea. 4x4 recommend if you want to get there by car, otherwise it's better to park further north and walk for 30 minutes.

Beautiful spot but really quite busy when we visited which was a little unexpected. Lots of sea urchins so beware. The abandoned hotel was really cool as well. Great if you're into urbex. Access is fine, the first bit of track is the worst but no need at all for 4WD,. Risk of punctures if anything. We opted to walk in over the desert just for the experience. Full on Canarian sun but very strong breeze so you don't feel yourself burning. Sunscreen recommended.

50 mins to go up (we timed it).Totally worth it. Water is super clear and refreshing after the hike. Don’t be lazy and go!💪🔥

One of the best hikes in Lanzarote heading to one of its best beaches. I would recommend this hike to everyone with a good fit of any age. Kids can also go with their parents. Wearing good shoes is important on the way down because the path is slippery due to the presence of little rounded stones along the whole descent. For sure coming up is easier and you can manage the one way path in less than one hour if you want to stop to take some wonderful pics. The beach down is named Playa del Risco. It Is Amazing and it is possible to swim there even during the windy days. Almost desert all the times, everyone will enjoy this fantastic natural spot. The parking at the top is good. It is advisable not to leave any valuables in the car but I did not experience any issues like all the cars which were parked there. The path is well indicated but on the way back do not go further to the right because the path is intersecting with another one heading toward the Famara valley which is anyway another good hiking opportunity. I posted a pic showing the intersection with two walkers on the right path. Hope this helps.

About an hour to get down to the beach and 45 minutes of climbing to ascend afterwards. Don’t trust the other reviews that say it takes 30 minutes, unless you are an incredibly shredded Spanish man. Take your time coming down as some parts can be a little sketchy but it’s definitely still very doable. I personally was scared at the start but it’s completely fine. It was faster for us to come up! Beach itself was lovely, definitely the best in Lanzarote by far. We came back here again

Beautiful secluded beach. Well worth the hike. In summer take a hat and lots of water and sunscreen. 45 minute hike down. Longer back up due to the slope. There are several zocos on the beach where you can set up camp and get a break from the wind. Good hiking shoes are essential as the slope down has lots of loose sharp rocks. Hiking stick or pole would be good also.

To be honest this was the best white beach on the entire island, for me personally! It takes a hike to get down here from the Camino de los Gracioseros but it couldn’t be more worth it!!!! It’s a 500m beach and there were less than 10 people in total!!! Cristal clean, cleanest water. Fine sand, little waves. 100% wilderness and the beautify of the mountain in the background. I have no words!!! Just wowwwwww!!!!!

Luckily, the inaccessibility of this beach has kept it quite unspoilt. I found the cliff descent faster, but also less comfortable than the climb back, as one can slide down on the piles of pebbles. A hiking stick or a donkey would be useful. Worth the effort, but please don’t tell everyone how nice it is. Take food and much water! In places the current would often be too strong for swimming.

It is unreal how beautiful this beach is!! The path down is a bit slippery, make sure to have sport shoes and a jacket, it is pretty windy. It takes from 45m-1hour depending how fast you go. My advice is to go early morning just to have a full day in this paradise with wild vibes,crystal clear water, the sandy hills- a chance to feel alone on a lost island😍😍

Absolutely stunning, black volcanic beach, surrounded by a spectacular landscape. Small car park opposite so easy to visit. Would definitely recommend.

Beach was great the sand is my favorite part its soft and the color is amazing , waves are bit rough here atleast when we visited but recommend visiting even if you want to soak your feet in the water

Amazing black sand beach, with loads of olivine to be found in the sand and the rocks ! Don't take any with you though, it's illegal and contributes to destroying the environment. Also I would discourage any swimming, the rocks are sharp and the waves large.

Mind blowing landscape with the black rock, black sand and red mountain in the background the lagoon is beautiful and certainly worth the visit, small Carpark and was busy.

It is a beautiful place. Black sandy beach. This beach's distinctive feature, also lending its name, is the striking Montaña Bermeja. When facing away from the shore, this reddish-hued mountain stands prominently, complemented by a water basin between the beach and the street, offering excellent photo opportunities. You will not regret. Have fun.

Beautiful volcanic sand beach with Lago Verde in the back, surrounded with spectacular rugged landscape that you drive through on the way to the beach!Beware of the strong waves, and it gets windy!

Really gorgeous beach, and quite quiet too. Images are 35mm film Kodak gold 200.

This it's is the biggest "playa" from this part of the island! You have here a lot of sund and a lot of beautiful views to ocean!

Nice beach - not much space to swim though

No shower,no tiolets lots of rocks when low tide.Good for snorkling but that's about it.Went there more than once only cos it was the closest beach.

A nice little beach not really suitable for kids or swimming though as the waves do get dangerous. But nice for a stroll and there is a few bars and restaurants close by.

Dark sands but lovely and peaceful, compared to others with the added bonus of not being windy so you can enjoy it more. Bring your snorkeling gear as there's loads of fish in the shallow water.

I spend one week on the Playa Bastian beach 🏝 in December 2019. It’s calm, definitely not crowded. Mostly English and German seniors and families with children. The access to the sea has quite lot of stones but there is also some sand. Under water life is interesting, so snorkelling is fun. There is toilet and showers outside. Strongly recommended but weather is definitely more warm and sunny in Puerto del Carmen. Lot of good bars around and prices are definitely cheaper than in bigger cities. Not far around Spar shop. Recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Probably my favourite beach in the area. Very quiet. We spent several days here. You can rent two sun-beds and umbrella for 12 Euros a day.

The walks along the coast are just breathtaking

One of the best beaches anywhere

Bumpy dirt road to get there but it's worth it. Black sand beach that's fairly secluded

Dirt road to get there, but worth the trip

Fantastic place. But lots of jelly fish

Amazing place waves unreal

Ominous beach....

Exploring La Graciosa on a e-bike is a fun thing to do. There are quite some bike shops, but don't come too late. Vast beaches, wide views, a small village is what you get. Swimming will not always be possible, and biking in the southern part of the island is not allowed.

Second part of our day trip What a wonderful place Very basic, 2 super markets, post office and police station. Approx 5 restaurants Ferry there for Orzola a 24 min trip. Looks like there was plenty of sailings. Our trip included lunch which was on one of the moored ferry boats. We had approx 2hrs on the island, lunch was in that time. We also visited the church for a little history lesson. Having walked round the town, I found accommodation that could be rented, unsure of the cost. Maybe a couple of days would be great, chilled time Ferry back was ok, a little choppy but didn't scare anyone with amazing views of the rocks Is it worth the trip, definitely See pics

Graciosa is an island of unique beauty and landscape. It definitely worths a day or two even if you want to explore everything in slow rhythm. We did one day trip to the island and we managed to visit the Playa de las Conchas, the arc and also some other beaches. The access to the island is possible through two different companies and the ticket is 28 eur for both ways. Do not miss the island. Small tip for those who rent bike: if they say to you do not go to the arc with bike rental, do not hear. The area is majestic.

This island is very worth visiting by bike. It repays all the effort for cycling. Remember to bring food and beverages since there is nothing except in the port town

Lovely island near Lanzarote. It's easy to reach by boat/ferry but the sea is always wavy ( it could be a problem for someone). Little island, sandy, nice and clear waters (you can have sunbathing and swimming). It's also romantic for a couple. There are few restaurants and bars. Nice to view the little church and the ancient system to gain and store rainwater.

I went walkabouts beautiful island, went to mass in your beautiful Chapel are coming back in April for my number 3 daughters 21st birthday 💚🇨🇮

A very interesting island. You can go there by ferry from Orzola, return ticket costs 28 eur, a little bit expensive for a distance of a few kilometers. But it’s a unique experience. There is a village with white houses and with streets made of beach sand, a little further wild beaches and untouched nature.

The beach is very nice and sea is cold but refreshing sunbeds are €10.50 for 2 all day as of June 2025

First time in Matagorda and all in all we enjoyed the stay. The area is clean and tidy, relaxing in the evening with a fair choice of shops, pubs and restaurants in the centre. A taxi into Puerto del Carmen is around €5 if you fancy some more night life. Will give the resort a 4.5 👍👍

Gorgeous clean long sandy beach and never too busy. You can also rent sun loungers and parasols on most of the beach. Free toilets and showers are also available and the whole place is kept very clean too. Can be a little windy here at times.

Take a look at the pictures - taken by an iPhone - this beach is awesome <3 and has beautiful sunrises <3

Beautiful long beach and very clean but on windy days go to one of the smaller beaches farther round in PDC

A lovely beach with plenty of bars and restaurants. We took the 03 bus from Costa teguis got off at Matagorda walked from Matagorda into Puerto del Carmen about 3 miles along the beach. Had a couple of pit stops for refreshments and caught the 03 bus back for a pleasant day out . Stopped at Spoon's bar and food and drinks very reasonable

This place has made our holiday Very very friendly staff so polite so helpfull and every dish that has come out is fabulous We could not tell you what meal is the best, we have had excellent food every time we have been here I will say you eat,you laugh, you enjoy,and you leave with a big smile.we will be coming back ,and we still have 4 nights left Andrea and steve

Drove to this viewpoint in a rental car and let's just say I was glad it wasn't my own car! The access road is a tad on the ropey side and is more designed for a 4 x 4. Reaching the parking area (assuming there is only the one that we went to), you then need to make a steep climb up a loose rock path to get the best views and I'd recommend wearing walking shoes/boots if you don't want to be sliding/slipping. On a clear day you can get some spectacular pictures though.

Outstanding views, not for the faint of heart! If you are scared of heights, I would avoid going right up to the barrier! I didn't try the food inside, but it looked good! The cafe area inside was gorgeous but not a huge amount to choose from food wise! The drive was easy and there were plenty of parking.

Well out of the way and requires car hire or an organised trip to get here. The views were breathtaking, more so due to height of the cliff on which Mirador del Rio sits. Free parking and 8 Euros per adult to get it was reasonable. The restaurant is lovely and sits perched in the cliff edge behind a huge glass window. Food was good and reasonably priced. Definitely one to see during your time in Lanzarote

The scenic viewpoint offers an impressive panorama of the island and the surrounding waters. From its elevated position, visitors can appreciate the breathtaking views that stretch far into the distance. A lovely cafe is available, providing a convenient spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. While the experience is memorable, the price 8.50 euro to get in . Refreshments is slightly higher than expected. Overall, it is a worthwhile destination for those seeking stunning vistas.

One of the best views I've ever experienced. The steep slope and dramatic contrast of colors between the islands and the ocean are incredible! A must visit if you rent a car!

Absolutely amazing views from this spot. It was by far our favorite CACT/César Manrique sights of the whole island. From up here you have the best views of Famara cliffs and La Graciosa island, in a place that’s perfectly merged with the surroundings. The café here is quite cozy and was not even as half crowded as the other sights we visited in the same day. 100% recommended!

€8.50 each is a bit steep before you even get through the door and pay for food and drinks. Building is really nice, but for €8.50 per person you'd think they'd clean the windows a bit more. It was very busy and windy when we went, so they had the roof view point shut, which was disappointing as there were no signs to tell you this. Just a long queue of people to the roof coming down. The other fire point was open which was great. An awesome place to see. The food was pretty good as well, all be it a little basic for a ham / cheese baguette sandwich. There's a bit of a free for all fight for the tables with the best view, and then when you do get a nice view, any gormless person who comes in immediately walks across the whole cafe to stand Infront of your table and take pictures out the window. Honestly, some people. The singular man waiting tables was really kind and helpful, definitely needed an extra member of staff to help with how busy it was. I wanted to come back and buy some things from the gift shop, but I wouldn't want to pay €8.50 just to get to the shop!! If you're here JUST for the view, there's tons of locations near here for free and you'll get the same view!

There no beach here as shown Maps Rock ledges that are covered at high tide. Numerous Memoriams at cliff where people have slipped on volcanic stones and fell.

Rocky and stone beach with very little sand. Car parking close by and quite well sheltered but would be disappointing for a family with young kids. Some cafes and shops near by and the promenade that starts here goes the whole way to the light house sone 10km away. Also one determined resident has stayed put when the hotels were being built-

This is our local beach as we’re staying at the Sandos Papagayo. We’ve stayed here before and didn’t use the beach as it was rocky and not very inviting. It must have been cleared because it’s now a very pleasant beach and good for families. It’s great to wander down to for a swim and is well used.

Not a bad little beach but very rocky and lots of pebbles. Also a very fishy smell in some places.

Pet friendly beach 👍

Very small beach and rocky but was great for snorkelling. Spotted some starfish and octopus!

Stunning scenery, although not a golden or white Sandy beach, it's lovely and peaceful. Beautiful place

Stunning and quiet (early June). Good to swim and explore the rock pools. More nudists than the beaches either side and no facilities...but it's nice to go without and get back to nature occasionally.

The beach itself is beautiful, with clear water that’s great for swimming. However, the strong wind often blows sand everywhere, which makes it less comfortable to relax on the shore

Quite nice beach. Nice sand and beautiful water. Just few people in May Parking lot beside (300m) Some people naked on the beach.

Great beach but only accessible by boat or walking from carpark at the amenities within natural park or a good 30 minute walk from end of Papagayo Promenade. If walking be sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen. Interesting history and spring wells close by for anyone interested in the history of the area.

A short walk downhill from the main carpark brings you to this beautiful beach that has only a handful of people on it. Yes, it's true, some were naked, but did not flaunt it and no-one seemed bothered. If you want to try out getting your kit off for the first time, then this beach is perfect if you are a bit self conscious. I'm in my mid fifties and had never done so before. It was very liberating, and because there were so few people on this stretch of beach, made it much easier not to be too body conscious and after two visits, it was great!

This is a very beautiful beach at Papagayo. Although it’s not my favorite there, it is a very long stretch of sand where you can relax and enjoy the sea. There are 2 parkings in the back of the beach where you can easily park. Nice !

Fabulous beach! Quiet, plenty of space for everyone, people can stay at distance. Sea is suitable for swimming even on a very windy day. Sunbathing in total peace in serenity. So far my favorite beach in Lanzarote. People who come here are also the quieter type of tourist.

4 stars as the road is hard and long. Great for naturists, especially at the eastern end (left as looking out to sea). Sheltered calm sea when the wind is from the north.

Very nice and quiet nude beach hidden between clips - you need to walk from the main beach 50 m north walking on the reef

Beautiful beach 🏖

Beautiful

My 2nd best beach experience ever! The road taking you there is a bit creepy and you have to pay 3€ as entry ticket, but it’ll worth every cent! We arrived with a baby and she also enjoyed the soft sand. (No natural shadow!)

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful beach for me 😍 I love it! Absolute freedom, beautiful water, tranquility. (Original) La più bella spiaggia per me 😍l adoro! Libertà assoluta , acqua bellissima, tranquillità.

(Translated by Google) A truly exceptional beach. A short 10-minute walk from the previous beach will allow us to discover this beach, quite isolated with few people, sheltered from the waves and wind, the nudists are mostly on the left and right of the beach and the textile ones in the center. As there are rocks, you can go snorkeling. However, don't forget your umbrella, there are no shades on the beach. (Original) Une plage juste exceptionnelle. Une petite marche de 10 minutes à partir de la plage précédente, nous permettra de découvrir cette plage, assez isolé avec peu de monde,, à l’abri des vagues et du vent, les nudistes sont plutôt à gauche et à droite de la plage et textile au centre. Comme il y a des rochers, vous pourrez faire du snorkling. Par contre n’oubliez pas votre parasol, il n’y a pas d’ombres sur la plage.

A pleasant little beach. Made more exciting by the ferries coming and going creating quite a surf. The nearby shops and cafes are all very popular.

Not much of a 'playa' at all. Almost impossible to access the water as the beach is made up of sharp rocks. The man-made, walled, sandy areas with deckchairs on the west side of the beach (still no sea access) are owned by the hotel behind and not accessible to the public. The only restaurant / bar doesn't open in the day. Stay on the promenade and keep walking to Playa Flamingo if you want a lovely beach with soft sand, a couple of open bars and restaurants and direct sea access.

S'alright. Though it was midnight and I was just passing through. Access to sea, and a bar I think, but not a lot more

Nice mostly rock beach, not many places to get into the s as without walking over slippery rocks.

Beautiful, perfect for a chill out, evening walks or fishing.

Set beneath the striking red volcanic cone, Playa de Montaña Roja is one of Tenerife’s most unique and scenic beaches. The vast stretch of golden sand and the dramatic backdrop of the mountain create a truly spectacular setting. It’s perfect for a peaceful walk, swimming, or simply relaxing while taking in the natural beauty of the landscape. The nearby dunes and coastal views make it a photographer’s dream and a must-visit for anyone seeking a quiet escape with unforgettable scenery.

🥰

Drove by as we were in the area, very pleased we did. The place had a huge free car park so was easy to locate. Also a lovely coffee shop with toilets close by. The area is stunning, the green lake, black volcanic beach, with the beautiful blue sea makes for some seriously great photos. Definitely recommend a visit.

amazing views, the lake is awesome and the contrast with the black sand too. but you can’t swim there, or at least, is not recommended.

Blue water and crashing ocean waves, a black beach and a still green lake with a partially remaining volcano in the background - all in the sunlight and blue sky. The beauty of this place is captivating. Only a few minutes from the car park and in the other direction you have the village of El Golfo where you will definitely eat well right next to the beach.

Is it worth visiting? Make your own mind up A 3 minute walk from the main car park to get there with hoards of tourists taking selfies and dont forget the instagrammers that need 200 photos along with the tik tokers. Recommendation Up to you Unless your enjoying the beach what's the point. #garystribe #localguide #localguides #letsguide #lanzarote #tour #holiday #playadelosciclos

Amazing color contrast and a great natural viewpoint 👌

It’s located near El Golfe, Lanzarote Canary Island. It’s beautiful place for a short break. On one side there is ocean, black beach in the middle and then a green lake. The view from top was spectacular. One can walk on the beach but swimming is not allowed due to volcanic minerals in water. Worth visiting…

The big minus is only that you cannot access the attraction, you actually view it from nearby cliff.

I had an unforgettable experience at Timanfaya National Park—it truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The bus tour through the volcanic landscapes was both thrilling and a little bit scary, making it all the more exciting. Driving through the craggy lava fields, it felt like stepping into another world—black volcanic rock stretching as far as the eye can see, smoke gently rising from the earth, and the contrast of the bright blue sky above. As the day shifted and shadows grew, the landscape took on a mysterious, almost otherworldly beauty. After the tour, we planned to try the restaurant famous for cooking food using volcanic heat. Unfortunately, it was closed when we arrived. However, the staff were incredibly kind and went out of their way to help us. They checked the kitchen and graciously prepared two plates of food just for us. I am especially grateful to the gentleman who made this wonderful experience possible. Everywhere you look in Timanfaya National Park, the scenery is breathtaking—the interplay of lava, sky, and sunlight makes you feel like you’ve been transported to another planet. The combination of thrilling tours, incredible natural beauty, and warm, helpful people makes visiting Timanfaya an experience you will never forget. If you have the chance, you absolutely should go—you’ll be amazed.

Timanfaya National Park Perfect place for all the family. Take the bus around the volcano and the larger volcanic fields. GeasersI recently visited Timanfaya National Park 🌋 and it was an amazing experience for everyone! Taking a bus tour around the volcano and vast volcanic fields gave me a real appreciation for the unique landscape. I was fascinated by the raw power of nature, which is on display everywhere in the park. It's a fantastic place for the whole family, with something to amaze all ages. I would highly recommend visiting this beautiful place. #TimanfayaNationalPark #VolcanoAdventure #FamilyTrip

We visited this national park as part of a tour. From what I understand, you can’t freely drive around the park in a private car—you need special approval, which is why most vehicles we saw on the tracks were tour buses. However, the main museum and restaurant can be reached by private car. The park itself is incredible, with spectacular views, and I highly recommend going with a tour guide who can share insights about the magma levels, volcanoes, and historic eruptions

Great experience, well organized, it was not dificult to buy the tickets in the entrance, just same time as if we had already tickets as there is a queue of cars for all in the entrance (at least in the day we were there). Tip: during the bus road sit in the opposite side of the driver, you will have the best view of the vulcanos.

Went on a Jet2 trip. Picked up by coach collected others enroute and guide on the bus provided a wealth of information about the park. Provided with access to a limited area where you could walk and take pictures. Three course meal provided in the restaurant as the sun setting.

I had a superb time visiting Timanfaya National Park – it’s truly a unique and unforgettable experience! The landscape feels like stepping onto another planet, with its dramatic volcanic scenery. The bus tour through the park was fantastic, offering amazing views and fascinating insights into the area’s history and geology. One of the highlights was enjoying food cooked using the natural heat from the volcano – such a special and memorable touch! The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable, which made the visit even better. This is definitely a must-visit if you’re in Lanzarote. The combination of breathtaking views, incredible natural history, and such a one-of-a-kind experience makes it well worth it.

Absolutely beautiful place 2nd trip will not be our last. Thoroughly enjoyed the bus tour & everything. So lovely it is all being preserved.

I’ve stayed at Seaside Los Jameos several times, and that alone shows how much I enjoy this hotel. It offers a combination of comfort, beautiful surroundings, and services that keep me coming back. Honestly – while the hotel deserves five stars, my repeated visits have also given me the chance to notice a few minor shortcomings that might go unnoticed on a first stay. Let’s start with the positives – and there are many. The food is excellent, the overall atmosphere is very pleasant, the beachfront location is ideal, and the gardens… simply stunning. Every return to this place makes me fall in love all over again. And maybe it’s precisely because I love this hotel that I feel encouraged to be a little more critical – with the intention of offering honest feedback. As of summer 2025, the hotel is undergoing renovations, so some of the points I mention may soon be outdated. I’m really looking forward to coming back and seeing the improvements. Minor downsides: The sauna is only accessible from age 15, which feels like an unnecessary restriction. It’s a minor issue, but one that families might appreciate being reconsidered. All-inclusive guests don’t receive wristbands. Carrying the card around in swimwear isn’t very convenient – a simple wristband would be much more practical. Afternoon snacks are quite limited – I’d appreciate the addition of fresh fruit or light vegetable salads to the selection. Service at the beach bars can be slow, with long queues and extended waiting times. There’s no self-service option for the afternoon snacks, which could help avoid the long wait at the bar. Outdoor table tennis is not ideal – only concrete tables are available, which don’t provide a proper bounce for the ball. In addition, the area is exposed to wind, which often disrupts play. A partially sheltered space with standard indoor tables would make the game far more enjoyable. That said, none of these issues significantly spoil the overall experience. If I could, I’d give the hotel 4.5 stars – for now, I’m giving it four. But I’m hopeful that after the renovations, I’ll gladly raise that to five.

Its a decent hotel. Its not a 5 star hotel. Its not 5 star service. I liked the location. I liked the buffet style set up with chefs manning different stations. Dinner was always great. Breakfast only ok. Omelette the best breakfast option. It lacks atmosphere/buzz.

We went here in 2023 and it was by far the best hotel we have been to, ever! at the time I had a couple of niggles but they were totally petty things compared to the overall holiday experience I've got to say the hotel and food was beautiful the service, excellent and the location is perfect, and I'm would return in a heartbeat. In lanzarote it's a lovely haven.

Terrible experience with your hotel!!! TUI just informed us that your hotel delayed opening, less than 36 hours before our arrival!!! I do not believe that you did not know about delays with opening one week ago, reassuring guests that you will open and welcome guests! Lack of commitment, service, and honesty from your side leads to stress and disappointment 36 hours before the holiday! Never again will I consider booking your hotel!

Just back from a wonderful ten days at Los Jameos Playa, so here's my honest review. Let's do the bad stuff first, although it really isn't that bad. There's a fair bit of building works going on but it's being done with consideration to guests, so unless you really look for it then its easily missed. The odd workman here and there and the odd knock of the hammer, but that's really about all. Probably the worst thing was the kitchen fan extraction system which was missing its baffles and sounded like a jet taking off at times. There are a couple of areas of the hotel still to open at the time of writing, including a children's area, additional bar and shops, but again, nothing that had any impact on our holiday in any way, shape or form. The pool bar is excellent, although we did encounter some queuing for service on several occasions. The drinks menu is large and detailed so if you get stuck behind someone ordering a couple of cocktails then be prepared to wait as everything is made to order. Appreciate that preserves the quality, but it comes at a price of time. A couple of suggestions are to put the hot drinks machine on the counter and let people help themselves, and to install a self-service carbonated drinks dispenser. That way people drinking non-alcoholic drinks won't be delayed. The array of food was astonishing and the quality excellent all round. We preferred the quieter piano bar in the evening for a few drinks and a game of cards. It was good to see the ladies making the effort to dress for the evening; however, gentlemen need to put a bit more effort in. Bermuda shorts, trainers and shirt buttons undone down to navel level is not the done thing. We even had one gentleman (And I'll use the phrase loosely) who wore his hat whilst seated. Etiquette lessons from William Hanson are required I think 😉. I jest of course, but it would be good to see men making a bit more of an effort. Last but absolutely not least, a mention for the staff. It's hard to pick out some names but thank you Carla and Nicole in the pool bar, and Yolande in the restaurant. I'd also like to express thank you for the service from the head waiter in the piano,but forgive me as I never took a note of his name. It was also wonderful to meet the hotel General Manager who was a frequent face around and thank you for taking ten minutes out of your busy day for a chat. I've always maintained that the best hotel managers are the ones who mix with customers and don't hide in a back office. So, will we be back ? Absolutely, just about to book up again for next year.

Located on the seafront at Matagorda this restaurant has been here for years. Great staff fantastic food and a view that cannot be beaten. One of my favourite restaurants when I'm here.

We've been to this hotel 4 times now and its always like a home from home, friendly staff and the food has always been amazing, we have tried other places but always come back here.

Absolutely loved this hotel. The apartment room we had was clean, plenty of space and separate rooms for the adults and the kids, the sofa beds were very sturdy and comfortable. Complex is right on the beach, amazing. All inclusive food was delicious, good variety for adults and children, always vegetable options, cold meats, salad selection as well as freshly cooked meats, pastas etc. Quite a few pools, main pool was always busy but didn’t feel overcrowded. Reception always friendly and helpful and TUI rep present at certain times to help with any queries. The hotel was amazing and staff always friendly and helped us out when we had a late flight departure allowing us to still use facilities up until we were due to leave. Our children are 7 years old and enjoyed the kids club and the pool entertainment. Would definitely recommend this hotel to families and single adults. My only complaint is the hotel rule no ‘reserving’ sun beds around the pool by placing towels on them when clearly not in use wasn’t enforced. This happened every day without fail, but luckily we always managed to find a sun bed in the afternoon once some people left. There is also a spa, we were given a free voucher for the sauna and hot tub upon arrival. Gym was decent but a little small. I would definitely stay in this hotel again if we visit Lanzarote again.

We had a great holiday here. The hotel itself was very clean and well maintained. There were areas which could do with an update but it was a pleasant stay and the rooms were great. Location is great, right next to Playa Flamingo which is a brilliant sandy beach which is enclosed so there are very small waves and no current. Ideal for younger kids as families. Food was as expected - th pizza was the best bit as it was made fresh and was actually pretty good. The salads were good and there was a great selection. Pools were great, entertainment for kids was amazing. The kids entertainers were all incredible and always bought energy to each event. Overall we had a great stay and will come back again. We had our reservations beforehand but think it was one of the best holidays we have had with our son. I will say we went out of peak season so the hotel was less than half full which might have changed our experience compared to others :)

We've stayed here 2 years in a row for winter sun. This hotel represents excellent value for what it offers - the location, right on Flamingo beach, cannot be beaten. With small kids, it is very easy to pop up to the room to use the bathroom etc. The apartments are basic but have everything one would need to prepare a light breakfast or lunch (with a shop within a stones throw distance selling fresh bread and pastries in the morning from 9am). Air con worked perfectly. Lovely balconies or terraces looking out on to the sea and Fuerteventura with palm trees adding to the chill factor for those with young kids who take an in-room siesta during the day. There are ample pools, something for every age group (including a quieter pool for those traveling without children). Night entertainment was perfect level for our 2.5 year old (on first visit) and 3.5 year old (on second visit). Kids club, tho we only used it once, was excellent with highly trained staff. Baby room was excellent when our child was under 3. Lovely strip of restaurants on the doorstep and a short walk to town or to another strip of restaurants beyond the Hipotel. Cannot comment on food as we went self catering on both occasions. For the price we paid, we cannot fault it. Only cons are, this is a very family oriented hotel, I'm not sure how couples without kids would find the experience. Cleaning ran very late, sometimes until early afternoon (3pm), this didn't suit us as we always brought our toddler home for the heat of the day and, having been gone all morning, there was ample time for the room to be cleaned. That being said, it's a busy resort so they're doing the best they can.

This is a great place to stay. We had a 1 bed apartment with lots of space including a private garden complete with sunbeds. A nice jacuzzi for a few extra quid. Worth the money after so much driving. Food is fantastic. Loads going on every day. Memorable holiday.

If you're looking for a baby/child friendly place, this is amazing! We had our first family holiday with our little boy (who is 1) and it was perfect for us! The crèche was incredible, ran by qualified staff which gave me and my husband a couple of hours to ourself. There were multiple pools for babies and always a sunbed we could use. The staff overall were so friendly and making my baby smile a lot. Overall, would highly recommend!

My 5 stars go mainly to the spa. I had an amazingly relaxing massage with an expert, Gabriella from Argentina. She intuitively combined exactly the treatments that felt great and released my tense spots (hello jaw muscles!). I booked my session in the spa center itself instead of by the pool: it’s so much quieter and more peaceful there - and I can highly recommend it to all stressed-out parents: a wonderful little escape at a fair price. It was simply perfect💫. I also want to give a shout-out to the team: from room service to the restaurant staff, the entertainment crew, and the kids’ club — despite having so much work, every single staff member was incredibly friendly and helpful. I’ve rarely met such a lovely team!

Cheap and cheerful resort with lovely staff. We have had an amazing holiday. The staff have been great from the restaurant to the entertainment. The resort could do with a wee bit of TLC but otherwise it is great. Highlights: *Restaurant food choices were amazing and fresh *Activity options and different pools for all ages *Staff made the holiday and were not pushy about taking part in activities *Resort location is great, beach on your doorstep with a few restaurants and shops and then a short walk to Playa Blanca. (Some of the safety barriers and gates need attention)

A surprisingly good beach. It’s huge, the water is very clear, there was almost no wind and now waves, great for swimming. the sand is very soft. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. 2 sun beds and one umbrella cost 10,50 eur for the day. We visited at the end of april and the chairs got taken quickly, almost all chairs were taken by 11 am. There are public showers and wc.

Lovely area, Beautiful beach, spotlessly clean. Lovely walks along the sea front, plenty of shops and restaurants nearby

chaise lounges are good, the cost is 10,5 eir for two +umbrella and 7 eir for one +umbrella. The entrance to the water is quite steep. 7-10 meters and you are under water with your head, you need to watch children carefully when there are waves

Lovely beach with sun loungers, 2 for €10.50 all day. Clear water with plenty of fish to see. Toilet facilities close to loungers and plenty of shops/bars/restaurants

Beautiful, clean and long beach, great for people of all ages.

Beautifully clean beach, lovely sand, €10.5 for 2 sun beds, water was absolutely freezing (End March) but crystal clear 👌

Gorgeous clean beach, crystal clear water and warm (October). €10.50 for 2 beds and umbrella or 7€ for 1 bed and umbrella. Close to restaurants and bars for a quick bite and a drink for lunch.

Playa Grande in Puerto del Carmen is a beautiful and expansive beach that my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed during our visit in November 2024. The golden sands stretch for over a kilometer, providing ample space for sunbathing and leisurely walks along the shore. The calm, clear waters are perfect for swimming, making it an ideal spot for families and couples alike. One of the most delightful aspects of Playa Grande is the opportunity to feed the fish that come close to the shore. Tourists have accustomed the fish to being fed, so bringing along some bread can lead to a charming experience as the fish gather around you in the shallow waters. It's a simple yet magical interaction with nature that adds a unique touch to the beach visit. The beach is well-equipped with amenities such as sunbeds, umbrellas, showers, and nearby restaurants and cafes along the Avenida de las Playas. This makes it convenient to spend the entire day there without needing to venture far for food or refreshments. The promenade is lively and offers a variety of dining options to suit different tastes. While Playa Grande can get quite busy, especially during peak tourist seasons, its size ensures that it doesn't feel overcrowded. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, allowing visitors to unwind and enjoy the scenic beauty of the surroundings. Overall, Playa Grande offers a delightful beach experience with its beautiful sands, inviting waters, and the added charm of feeding the fish. It's a place we would happily return to on future trips to Lanzarote

Beautiful beach, clean and not so much crowded as we would expect in July. Nearby restaurants and a playground is a real bonus

Great sandy beach, lots of sun loungers and umbrella's. Public toilets were nearby too which were OK.

I loved this beach. It is quite large and great for taking a long walk and swimming. The water is very clear and calm.

Perfect. Big, wide, nice sand and not very much people the times I've been here👌

Great nice views and good atmosphere

Love this beach, very big and clean with lots of fun activities if you like that sort of thing.

Fantastic place and end to the day. One of the beaches that have not been infected by mass tourism, where every moment is pure pleasure. White velvet sand and only waves and the setting sun. We left our hearts here and found one too... Lots of memories from Fuerteventura as we were also looking for such beaches there.

Almost impossible to get into water over the slippery rocks and the sea is quite rough too. But nice for a beach hang with private stone circles. Very few people.

Golden sands. Clear blue skies. Blue sea. What more could you ask for? Parking on the other side of the road to the beach. Bit of a rocky walk down to the sand. Just be careful, if you fall it’s lava rock and will hurt. No facilities at all. Just peace and quiet.

Most unusual beach. White sand contrasting the black lava rocks. I assume that the sand has arrived in various storms, etc? However, the beach does show a lot of the small plastics at the tide lines!

Amazing evening. On our way to Orzola, we spotted beautiful pieces of nature.

Love these little beaches it is a little bit if a compromise with parking and rocks but it's away from the masses and the little volcano rock wind breakers are great

In my opinion one of the prettiest beaches in Lanzarote. Cristal clear waters and not as busy as other places. The parking spot is not very big so make sure you arrive early during high season

From Caleta de Sebo to Pedro Barba following the hiking path of the coast you will find this hidden gem with golden sand and beautiful formations. It can also be reached by bike but you will need to leave the bike on the main road and hike to the beach. Worth a stop before continuing to Pedro Barba. From there you can either walk the path along the sea crossing the rocks or go up the hill and find the path, both leading to Pedro Barba. Choose the former if you have vertigo.

Beautiful and chill. The sandy beach and mild waves makes it attractive to enter the sea. I was here in the summer and it got quite busy for the relatively small beach; fortunately I was early and found a nice corner to have some privacy.

Amazingly cosy beach just over half an hour walk away from Caleta de Sebo. It's a small beach made by the sediment of a barranco (gully) that joins the sea in amazing colours. Love it.

An easy 40 minute walk from the Caleta del Sebo. We did see a bunch of jeep shuttles trudge by if hiking is not your thing

Totally secluded beach and out of the wind.

Fabulous Rent a bike.

Brutal

Nice beach stretch far along the coastline. Some areas have rocks that go out in to the surf. Nice place to sit and relax but not much shade or shelter from the wind

A great spot for plane spotting if you're into that activity. The airstrip is right next to the beach and you can almost touch the plane.

Great walk to watch the planes coming in & out. Lovely views.

Nice beach with views on arrivals and departures of the planes from nearby airport

Quiet, long walk along the sea front, plenty of places to enjoy a cafe con leche. Lovely swimming beaches.

Nice quiet resort close to peurto Rico Lanzarote.

Stayed in a hotel at matagorda called beritz playa_spar lovely location not as lively than Puerto del Carmen but got some great hotels for you to enjoy your vacation most offer all inclusive or half board the beaches are beautiful and the sea is blue sooo lovely to swim in

Lovely cove, sandy beach with rocky area as well. A few meters in the ocean, there is spingwater coming up through the sand. There is a shower. A few free street parking spots.

Really lovely cove, not super busy but plenty nearby!

Love this small beach , we stay within 20seconds of this small beach and love it

Small beautiful beach...sheltered from winds, we stayed here mostly during ourselves holiday!

Our favourite bit of beach at PDC, a little bit rocky but the waves are great and lots of bars nearby....

Bit of a steep walk down to this little area can get quite busy as well. Shops near by for refreshments and a lots of restaurants to so won't go hungry.

Nice beach!

Beautiful part of the island. Rough sea and wild landscapes.

We totally loved this place! One of the best places to watch the sea and waves. Not many tourists are around... 😉

Quiet, restful, just sat watching waves

Nice way to get out and about and listen to the roaring sea bring your own lunch as there are no shops or restaurants

Wild

Incredible place in the middle of nowhere ,old fishing village, hardly a sinner in sight

Isolated, wild with spectacular waves. Great bike ride.

Amazing beach. The trek here was a bit bumpy and rocky, but easy. Dont recommend it wearing ordinary shoes.

If u want a good hike that isnt too hard and have a reward at the end its very well worth it, the black sand beach and the cliffside while you are travelling is worth it!

An truly amazing beach and the short hike from El Golfo is the best part of it. Unfortunately, it's not safe to go swimming here. You are within the national park and there are no facilities just nature.

It's the best black beach in Lanzarote without any doubt. It's quiet, windy (but not too much) and it has black soft sand. Cons: 1. It takes around 40 minutes hike from a villa next to El Golfo. 2. You can't bath here because the waves are very strong and the sand is so soft that you subside a bit even when you walk.

Wild, black beach beauty!

Beautiful place , good restaurant by a lovely view of lava rock coast.

Amazing view

Lovely beach, but very small. Since it is quite far, it is not so crowded. No shade, although quite protected area, it is windy.

Secluded and sheltered cove. Great rock formations at the base of the volcano which towers above the end of the cove.

Playa della Cocina is one of the most interesting spots in La Graciosa . It is reachable by walking on the sandy path from the port along the coast or by renting a jeep. I do not recommend to use a bike to come here because the path is so sandy that it Is impossible to ride a bike. The walking from the port takes about 30 minutes and it allows a nice stop at Playa Francesa. The ocean water was calm and shallow with a wonderful colour helped by the nice reflection of the volcano Montaña Amarilla. From the top of the beach I would recommend to continue the excursion around the volcano up to the summit with a spectacular view of La Graciosa and the island of Montaña Clara which is the part of the hiking I appreciated the most. While these are amazing spots on the Canary islands I have not given 5 stars because I found this beach and the entire island very touristic with lots of people visiting this place during a daily trip to La Graciosa. This was quite a surprise for me thinking that La Graciosa could be more authentic. So it is for sure worth a visit but I would not stay there longer and I would not choose to stay more days at La Graciosa. I think one or two days are more than enough. So unfortuntelly this is now more a place for tourists than for travellers.

Fantastic Beach. Avoid when crowded. Visit during the off peek period.

No beach there at high tide. Avoid unless you just want to go for the cycle and the view (which is amazing)

Actually is just a nice view…no beach here.

Amazing!

No sand beach compared to others pictures on this location. Great spot if you just want to chill but not if you want to swim

Not a sandy beach during low tide. There were only rocks. Accessible by car. It was not that easy to walk from the parking lot to the "beach". The water is inaccessible during strong winds.

Wrong photos in Google Maps

Beautiful place to spend the afternoon. Parking available. You will probably not find dry sand to lay down. Think about bringing an isolated blanket or something.

Great place

Best spot for a van night

Wild place

Playa Lima With its clear waters, soft sandy shores, it's the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun.

Easy parking area with toilets. Walk or cycle between beach and airport. Several good cafes towards playa honda

Close to the action

Quiet and relatively unspoilt beach, one of my favourites.

Pretty.. clean.. open and empty.. Lovely

Beautiful

Beautiful beach

This is NOT A BEACH. There are just rocks and some shabby cabins. Don't try to reach by car!

Amazing walk along coast line

Cigarette buts everywhere

(Translated by Google) Nice walk to get here, where there is a fisherman's house. No beaches, just ocean and rocks (Original) Bella passeggiata per arrivare fino a qua, dove si trova una casa di pescatori. Niente spiaggie, solo oceano e rocce
