That place is known for its nudist reputation, but it also offers public free entry for all visitors.

This is the perfect spot for those who want to take in the sights of aircrafts taking off and landing! Plus, there's a designated area for furry friends to frolic in the sand. It's an unofficial nudist beach, so you can enjoy the sun and sea without any clothes.

My favourite beach on Lanzarote is easy to access, yet still uncrowded. It's a great spot to relax and unwind, and the brown sand adds to its charm.

8 Very good

One of the best beaches on Lanzarote, it's even more interesting due to its close proximity to the airport. What makes it stand out is the crystal-clear water - you can wade in up to 150+ feet and still only feel sand beneath your feet. Plus, it has public free entry, making it an unbeatable beach experience!

The beach was absolutely fantastic! Even though it was October and the temperature was a balmy 28 Celsius, the beach was practically deserted. What was even more stunning was the brown sand that lined the shore.
