Top Things to do in Lanzarote
What to do and see in Lanzarote, Canary Islands: The Best Beaches
Ahhh, Lanzarote: The Canary Island paradise where you can ride a camel into the sunset and then dine inside a candlelit cave. The rock formations of Los Hervideros will take your breath away, as will the views from the Mirador del Rio lookout point. Legend has it that locals would hide from pirates in the underground caverns of Cueva de los Verdes, which are now open to curious visitors. Above ground the Jardin de Cactus will teach you all about the spiny desert plants.

so expect strong winds but such beauty along the sandy beach that seems to stretch forever. The sand is natural and lovely to walk on. Plenty of surfers about and you may be lucky enough like us to see great displays from kite surfers.

This is not the hotel or the beach immediately by the hotel this is a protected area ( national park) along the coast from the hotels. But it is quite a walk or a longer drive via quite an open rough track through the rocky desert. This costs 3 euros to enter. There are excursions via boat from Playa Blanca. We saw a few catamarans and yachts in the area and a kayaking group. The beautiful, unspoilt beaches are reached by walking down the cliff pathways. There are two small restaurants at the top of the cliffs, otherwise no other facilities so take water/ picnic. Ideal for couples, family groups.

Large beach kept spotlessly clean. Easy access into the sea. Sunbeds at 12 euros for 2 and a brolly good value. Have a chat to maurice the beach guy friendly and entertaining takes pride in his work and makes sure everyone is comfortable. Few touts up and down but all jovial and not pushy

Lovely beach and wonderful for families, couples or singles. Sunbeds & parasols for hire if you want them. Man made lagoon which is safe for children to paddle and swimmers to really swim Lots of fish in the lagoon, which you can feed with bread - they are completely unafraid and come right up to you.. Great for snorkelling and lots of people learning to scuba dive here. Lifeguard on site and toilets and showers too.

This has got to be some of the most spectacular scenery I’ve seen while in Lanzarote. Turquoise blue waters, half circles of natural lava rock to provide shelter from the wind. The rugged mountains behind & the ocean in front, simply beautiful. Medicine for the soul.

Two man-made water breaks provide for a very calm and sheltered bay which make this beach very suitable for children. So suitable in fact that the resort directly behind the beach is the TUI Family Life Resort. As you can guess the beach is packed with families and children. If you are ok with this then you will have a great time. There are a good range of restaurants and cafes directly behind the beach on the Paseo Maritima which caters for everyones refreshment requirements. The promenade (Paseo Maritima) that backs onto the beach is very uneven and is in dire need of resurfacing. We saw a number of families with buggies having difficulty in manoevering across said surface.
