This is a small cove beach located between the cliffs of the adjoing beaches that can be accessed by walking along rock plateaus at the sea front or via a relatively steep climb from the footpaths. This and the next inlet Caleton de cobre are very pretty and good for snorkeling. They are almost exclusively nude. Although everyone passes it on their way to the next beach, it is definitely worth a visit, especially for its Virgin beach with no amenities.

This place is far from ideal. average at best and the bar is nothing special. The desert is the only redeeming feature, but even that is nothing to write home about. If you're desperate, it may suffice, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Early in the morning, before the crowds arrive, this beach is a peaceful oasis. However, as the day goes on, it can be difficult to find a shady spot, as visitors tend to occupy the area. It's a much quieter beach than other spots in Papagayo, but it is still in one of the most popular tourist areas of Lanzarote.
