When we visited the beach in July 2020, it looked stunning from the street. Despite the number of cars parked there, there were not many people around. The water was a beautiful turquoise blue, but shallow and with some rocks. Bath shoes are recommended, but not essential. Unfortunately, when we got into the water, we saw an abundance of plastic waste. It was everywhere on the beach, and some even in the water. It's not a place I would recommend to families with young children, as they could easily find dangerous objects among the plastic. We even noticed micro-plastic and items such as a brush and toothbrushes (yuck!). It's possible that the wind blowing from the water to the beach was the cause of this mess.

This beach near Haria is the perfect spot to take a break and relax. The scenery is gorgeous, with some homes dotting the area. My first visit was a memorable one.

It's definitely worth the journey to stop off at one of these gorgeous coves. They're usually not overly busy, so they offer the perfect opportunity to relax and soak up some sun, as well as take a quick dip in the sea.

Caleta de las Escamas is a great spot for little ones to play. The Atlantic gun keeps the water shallow and the waves are minimal. There are plenty of natural stone walls that make for a great playground. The abundance of small fish makes it a great place to learn snorkeling. I love visiting this beach on Lanzarote.

A great spot for children to splash around, with its shallow waters. However, don't expect to find much else here - it's not exactly the most remarkable place.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Caleta de las Escamas (Lanzarote) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Caleta de las Escamas (Lanzarote) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Caleta de las Escamas for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
