Playa Quemada / Playa de la Arena on Lanzarote
On the road from Macher towards Uga, a sign shows the access road to one of the most peaceful places in Lanzarote: Playa Quemada, managed by the municipality of Yaiza.
After about 3 km you reach the village, which ends in the east with the, approximately 300 meters long, “Playa Quemada” beach of the same name.
Because of the calm water the conditions for bathing here are optimal, even if the Playa de la Arena, which is located southwest of Playa Quemada, with dark brown gravel, has better conditions, like the village beach “Playa Quemada”, mainly consisting of black sand and lava rocks.
Cliffs and the mountains in the background offer the visitor in any case a particularly imposing backdrop.
The “Playa de la Arena” beach, you can reach at low tide over the rocks at the sea, and at high tide over a footpath over the Cape.
For families with small children and handicapped people the beaches of Playa Quemada are not particularly suitable.
In Playa Quemada you find ample parking spaces, a small supermarket and several restaurants.
Sunbeds and sunshades, beach showers or a first station is not to be found.
Particularly peace-seeking idealists appreciate the special advantages of this secluded beach.
Beware of the tides and note that you have to take the way over the hills to get back to Playa Quemada when the tide is high and you are at the beach “Playa de la Arena”.
Bring your own food and drinks as there is only nature and peace at the beach of Playa Quemada.
