Playa de La Garita Beach in Arrieta, Lanzarote

On the outskirts of Arrieta, in the north-east of Lanzarote lies the Playa La Garita, a light-brown sand beach, about 800 meters long, mainly frequented by locals.
This beach is managed by the municipality of Haria. It is also easy to reach for people with disabilities, it offers public shower, toilets, daily emptied trash bins and children’s play ground equipment. On windy days you can also see some windsurfers here.

At the southern end of the beach, where there are larger areas with smaller and larger stones, people who are particularly interested and looking for quiet space find a place to listen to the relaxing sea noise.
In the neighborhood, at the south end of the beach, is also a football field located, which sometimes is used by local youths.

Directly above the lively part of Playa de la Garita beach towards the village you find the typical spanish beach bar Chiringuito and another restaurant.
In both restaurants you can enjoy your meal with a beautiful view of the sea. A small fitness course invites you to burn the calories of the delicious food.

The bus route from Arrecife to arrieta stops in about 400 meters.

Important

The sea is usually very quiet, the entrance into the water flat and otherwise there is hardly any danger and therefore this beach is not guarded. For emergencies there is a first aid station directly next door.

Caleta de Famara, Lanzarote

Caleta de Famara is the surfing spot on Lanzarote, where you can learn how to surf, or improve your surfing skills. Coming from the direction of Teguise, take the LZ-402 to Famara and you will pass the natural white sand beach and take a look at the surf and the waves at Playa de Famara. Following the course of the road, you drive into the small village and, directly on the left, you will find several surf schools, which are unmistakably decorated with various surfboards and neoprene suits as well as different logos. There are plenty of parking spaces around. Apart from that Caleta de Famara is a small and quiet fishermen’s village with few tourism. But one of the best restaurants on Lanzarote is located there: The “Restaurante El Risco.”

Important

The flow of the ocean is strong in Famara. Be careful when you go into the sea with or without a surfboard and do not go behind the point where the last waves break. Thus, at Famara Beach is always the red flag hoisted up.

Playa del Paso Beach, El Golfo, Lanzarote

To the natural, about 120 meters long, secluded, dark, sandy beach Playa del Paso you have two different possibilities.
Once from El Golfo, by walking about 1.5 kilometers over rugged lava rocks along the coast, starting from the parking lot at the north end of the village, in direction to the North, or via an approx. 2.2 KM long, easier to walk footpath through a spectacular scenery with possibilitiy for great landscape photos.

To the parking lot on the road from Yaiza in the direction of El Golfo turn right 1.5 km before El Golfo. To find this parking easier you can use this coordinates of the car park: 28 ° 59’24.55 “N 13 ° 49’0.82” W

The sea at Playa del Paso beach, at the southern end of the Timanfaya, is mostly very wild, why we strongly recommend that you only to stay in very low water and don’t really go to swim at this beach.

Surely you wouldn’t expect sun beds, umbrellas, restaurants, showers, toilets or even a 1st Aid station.

Under any circumstances, do not leave any packaging waste at this jewel of nature, but if someone is going on the way to such treasures of nature, he allways pays attention to this subject, without beeing extra reminded.

The Playa del Paso beach is the perfect place for romantics which enjoy to relax and unwind. The sight of this beach is a real coronation after a short hike to get there.

Playa de Janubio Beach near Yaiza, Lanzarote

On the way from Yaiza towards Playa Blanca, after approx. 6 km drive, you reach the 800 meters long, black natural beach Playa de Janubio, directly adjacent to the Salinas de Janubio.
The distance from Playa Blanca to Playa de Janubio is about 8 km.

From the old road of Playa Blanca heading to Yaiza, there is one car park and access on one side of this beach and after having passed the salt pans of Janubio towards Los Hervideros, a 2nd access and parking on the north side can be found.

Because of usually quite high waves and strong currents, however, this beach most days of the year is mainly only recommended for very good swimmers. It is rather an ideal place for sunbathing, relaxing, then for bathing with smaller children.
At the Playa de Janubio beach there are of course no sunbeds and umbrellas to rent, no public toilets or even showers, no restaurant or supermarket and also no first aid station.
There are allways, even in the high season enough parking spaces.
It is a great place to visit the nearby salt marshes nearby, aswell while you are here.

Climbing along the coast in the direction to Playa Blanca, you will pass small natural tubs, which have been created by wind and weather over the millennia.
It can easy happen, that you get frightened by fleeing hand-sized crabs, who are equally frightened as visitors are quite rare.

At Playa de Janubio Beach, strollers who like to look for the green olives, which can be found here in larger quantities and where one knows handmade jewelery, can be met.
The jewelery offered on the markets on lanzarote, decorated with olivine, are mostly imported from Asian countries.

Professional photographers like to use the harsh scenery at Playa de Janubio for their fashion photography.
At Playa de Janubio Beach, you can definitely experience a particularly memorable day with a romantic sunset, similar to the famous El Golfo sunsets, which is located further north on the coast.

Important

Natural Beach!
At the Playa de Janubio beach are no sunbeds and umbrellas to rent, no public toilets or even showers, no restaurant or supermarket and also no first aid station. Just beautiful nature.

La Graciosa – The Graceful, Lanzarote

Caleta del Sebo La GraciosaLa Graciosa is usually only viewed from Mirador del Rio and not planned as an excursion. However if you’re planning a longer stay on Lanzarote, you should visit the “little sister”.

From the small fishing village of Órzola, two companies – Lineas Romero and Biosfera Express, travel daily to La Graciosa, a 30 minute journey. Make yourself comfortable on the 2 decks. Crossings may be a little rough depending on the weather. Below deck is especially interesting for children. Though the glass bottom of the ship one can observe the sea life.

The ferry births at the port of Caleta del Sebo, one of two inhabited villages on La Graciosa. Tourism is still in its infancy, however Caleta del Sebo has restaurants, a bakery, a guest house and even a small nightclub. The locals sunbathe in the beautiful sandy cove of Caleta de Arriba not far from the pier. Awaiting the arrival of ferries are locals with Jeeps. This a good way to travel and also to find out firsthand about life on the island. A one way trip to the beach – Playa de las Conchas costs € 10 or a little bit less. The beach is also accessible on foot, but on hot days, one should consider whether to walk both ways or take a Jeep.

Playa de las Conchas – the beach of shells has a Caribbean feel – white, warm sand and turquoise clear blue water. Spread your towel, make yourself comfortable and enjoy your picnic. Souvenirs of this heavenly place are easy to come by. Take a walk and you’ll find plenty of interesting shells. Long-distance swimming is not recommended at Playa de las Conchas, due to the strong currents. However there’s no problem with surfing with the huge waves.

The walk back to Caleta de Sebo takes about one and a half hours and passing jeeps tend to swirl the sand on the road, so you’re likely to return a little dusty.

Recommend is the last ferry at 6pm during the summer months. When the last tourists leave the island, the hustle and bustle goes with them. The ferry journey back to Órzola is something to sit back and enjoy, as the sun goes down and you gaze at the changing colours on the horizon. For those who decide to stay over night on La Graciosa, a dream experiences awaits – utter peace and tranquility, evening walks along the beach in the setting light of the orangy sun.

Back in the port of Órzola as you disembark and make you’re back to civilisation, provision for the 700 inhabitants of La Graciosa are loaded, giving a feeling that they live a world far apart from hectic western society.

 

Important

Don’t forget your swimsuit, comfortable shoes, a towel and sun protection. It can be very sunny and hot on La Graciosa.

Barranco del Quiquere cliffs

On the footpath between Puerto del Carmen and Puerto Calero, after about 1.5 km, this section called Barranco del Quiquere cliff is about 800 m long and offers secluded bays, sunbathing areas and hidden caves.
With a view of the neighboring Fuerteventura nature lovers, who like to swim or snorkel, can spend a wonderful time.
The Barranco del Quiquere area is also particularly popular with naturists.

Like mostly on the south-east coast, the Barranco del Quiquere usually has only a few waves.
From the top of the cliffs, a staircase and to the north and south other, more risky climbing passages are leading down to the water, where you can find and choose your quiet and  more or less hidden spot for your stay.

Entering the water partly is not very easy and the wearing of bathing shoes is rather recommended because of the occasional sea urchins. As the access to the sea, by climbing over rocks and gravel, is quite challenging, this bathing area is rather less suitable for handicapped people and for families with children.

To get to the Barranco del Quiquere by car, turn off the road between the villages of Puerto del Carmen and Puerto Calero after about 1.5 km on the unpaved road towards the sea.
At the end of the path,which after a heavy rainfall sometimes till it gets repaired seems quite risky to drive further, you will arrive at a parking lot, from where after a distance of about 200 meters you arrive above the cliffs.

From there, you can then look out  for your very special spot for your stay.

Divers find and like to use the ideal conditions at the Barranco del Quiquere, too.
Otherwise there is not much more at the Barranco del Quiquere. No sunbeds or umbrellas, no toilets, no trash bins and also no first aid station, only crystal clear water, pure nature and often also hardly other visitors awaits you there.

Important

Don’t forget to bring your bathing shoes and your drinks and your food

Playa de Guacimeta Beach in Playa Honda, Lanzarote

Playa de Guacimeta Beach or aswell named Playa de Tiburón is a beach directly at the runway for airplanes at the airport of Lanzarote.

You are separated from the airplane by a big fence and by the bikeway and footway that goes along the coastline from Arrecife to Puerto del Carmen.

The Beach is not very wide and not heavily frequented. But, although the location at the airport is not the typical one for a relaxed day, the beach has its advantages.

It is long, the surge of the waves is small and the drift of the ocean is not strong in the summer season.

The yellow sand moreover is very comfortable. Thus, you can the Playa de Guacimeta Beach is a beautiful beach for great pictures.

Dogs are welcome here as well and the coastline invites you for a walk.

When you turn around you can have an impressive view on landing or starting airplanes.

Important

Don’t be shocked about loud planes. You will take great photos.
