Our beloved shore. The water is both secure and pleasant. The sand is pristine.

Hidden gem. The sand is so fine, you'll feel like you're walking on a cloud. And, unlike Papagayo, it's not overrun with people - so you can relax in peace. Perfect for a quiet day by the sea.

The beaches in this national park can be a bit tricky to get to, and you'll need to pay the 3 euro entrance fee to get in. But if you're looking for a beach, it's worth the effort. The ones closest to the car parks are usually the busiest, and you may even see some nudity. There's a bar with friendly staff nearby, but it may not be worth the effort. All in all, it's an unappealing experience.

The beach on Lanzarote is a true paradise! The water is so warm and inviting, the sand is so soft and comforting, and the sound of the waves is enough to make you forget all your worries. We visited in February and had the whole beach to ourselves for almost an hour and a half. It felt like our own private beach! We absolutely fell in love with this place - you must go and see it for yourself!

This beach is a paradise! The water is so clear that you can see right through it, and the sand is so soft and warm. Climb up to one of the lookouts and you'll be treated to a stunning view of the ocean, with its many shades of blue and green - it looks like something out of a postcard.
