About

Playa de Janubio (Las Palmas) is located outside the La Hoya settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Lanzarote and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike.

8 Very good

Playa de Janubio is a great place to explore, with its volcanic black sand and rocky areas. The tides are quite strong, making it a perfect spot for a stroll. It should be noted that this is a clothing-optional beach, which may or may not be an issue for some visitors. Despite being a nature conservation site, there weren't many birds around.

Taking a stroll along the beach was enjoyable, though it wasn't the best spot for swimming or soaking up the sun.

A beautiful spot worth spending some time exploring! The salt fields are stunning and the light changes throughout the day, making it a truly magical experience. Plus, it's easily accessible, so it's a great spot for a day trip.
