Playa de la Canteria Beach near Orzola, Lanzarote

Located to the west of Orzola, the locations where you can catch the ferry to La Graciosa, the 300 meter long Playa La Canteria beach is the northernmost beach of Lanzarote. It can be reached by a roughly 1 kilometer long well navigable path.

To the north-east of this beach there is a 500 Meters high mountain massif which makes this beach relatively shaded early in the afternoon. Because of this if you want to enjoy the sun do make sure you visit it earlier in the day.

Usually the sea at this beach is quite a bit wild, that´s why it is not really recommended for families with smaller children.

Some little lava stone castles are scuttered on the Playa La Cantería beach to provide a good protection from the wind.

This is a rather secluded, brown sand, sandy beach well suited for romantic walks, nature lovers, and especially enjoyed by surfers as well as bodyboarders.

The only infrastructure on this beach are rubbish bins so make sure you have everything you need with you.

As it happens just as you enter Orzola you will find a well-stocked supermarket, where you can stop to shop for food and drinks, before your visit to this beach.
