Playa del Paso Beach

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.

El Golfo – Lago Verde

El Golfo – Charco de los Clicos o Charco verde, Lanzarote

Continuing trip from direction Los Hervideros you drive until you come to a fork in the road, right goes to El Golfo, left to the free car park at Playa de Los Clicos. From here one explore the bizarre eroded lava rock formations by foot. Perhaps not quite as special as its reputation, but worth seeing is the green lagoon Charco de los Clicos. The small lake owes its distinctive green color to a type of algae that has settled due to the high salinity of the lake. Sit on the beach at Playa de los Clicos and take a dip into the cool water.

Drive back to the aforementioned fork and take the road to El Golfo. Park just outside the village. To the left of the car park a path leads you to a viewpoint above Charco de Los Clicos. Whether you’re hungry, need a glass of good Canarian white wine, or your children want to let off steam, take a trip to the beautiful fishing village El Golfo.

El Golfo really comes into its own in the evening when the sun goes down, and the last rays glistening on the water. Take a seat in one of the small, cozy oceanfront restaurants and tantalize your taste buds. To ensure a seat, it’s better to visit El Golfo during the week rather than at weekends

The metioned road to the left of the fork is unfortunately closed due to landslides at the sea front.

24/7 but prevent walks to the lake when it’s dark
