Playa de Charco del Palo Beach, Lanzarote

Approximately 6 km south of Arrieta is the only official naturism – nudist village of the Canary Islands, named Charco del Palo.
At the southern entrance of Mala, an insignificant sign points this only 40 year old village.

In Charco del Palo there is no sand beach, but 3 different, partly with light sand, specially designed and wind protected bathing possibilities.
Near the village, along the coast, between Arrieta and Los Cocoteros, you will find a lot of other places which allow you to bathe and unwind.

In Charco del Palo there are also 2 restaurants, 1 cozy cafe and a small supermarket, where you can buy drinks and snacks before visiting the beach.
Parking near the sea in Charco del Palo is easily possible in many places.

For children and people with reduced mobility, access to the bathing areas, except to the so-called duck pool at the northern end of the village and the tidal pool at the southern end, is rather less suitable.

Important

just pure nature

Playa del Risco Beach near Haria, Lanzarote

Lanzarote’s most remote beach, well known by name, is the 1300 metre long Playa del Risco Beach with its fine light coloured sand.

The beach is accessible, either by boat or by walking down a dramatic footpath, from a parking lot near the village of Ye, altitude 580 meters.

After a 45 minute descent, energetic adventurers are greatly rewarded by an indescribably romantic and solitary setting.

The island of La Graciosa protects this beach from some of the prevailing wind which acts as a cooling effect, as experienced by all the northwest coast of Lanzarote. While swimming at Playa del Risco beach is not recommended, it is a totally natural beach without any developments to detract from the unspoiled scenery, save a few power lines that serve La Graciosa.

To the North, you can still see the remains of the original sea salt distillation ponds.

Important

When visiting Playa del Risco, you should take enough food and drink with you. It’s best you buy before arriving in Ye, perhaps in Arrieta or Haria. Allow twice as long as your descent time to return back up the steep path to your car.

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.
