This beach is located in Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote. The best feature of ‘Playa del Reducto’ is that it is surrounded by all sorts of services, from restaurants to souvenir shops. It is great if you want to relax without missing the advantages of being near the city.
Thanks to the coral reef of the beach its waters are calm, which makes it a good choice if you are looking for a peaceful swim or if you are going with kids.
Playa Famara in Costa Teguise
Situated at the Nort-West of the island, Famara beach is one of the biggest beaches in Lanzarote, stretching about 6km of length. Aside from being incredibly beautiful, Famara is a wild beach with strong currents, which is why it is one of the hotspots for aquatic sports such as surfing, windsurfing or kite surfing.
Playa Grande in Puerto del Carmen
Playa Grande, Big Beach in the English translation, is also known as Playa Blanca -White Beach. It is situated in Puerto del Carmen, one of the most popular and oldest tourist areas of the island, which can make it a very crowded area at times.
A great range of free services and facilities -such as renting chairs, umbrellas and pedal boats for the greater enjoyment of your visit – are some of the benefits of going to Playa Grande. Numerous villas in Lanzarote are situated around this area too.
Playas del Papagayo in Yaiza
Situated at the south of the island, Papagayo beaches consist of four beaches of outstanding beauty: Mujeres, Papagayo, Pozo and Puerto Muelas. Visitors to any of these paradises will find white sand, transparent water and possibly some naked holidaymakers – nudity is allowed in some areas of these beaches.
Playa Honda in San Bartolomé
This long and quiet beach offers a peaceful option for holidaymakers who want to stand out from the crowd. Due to its constant wind, it is also ideal for windsurf lovers.
With the fact that the climate is considerably warmer than many Mediterranean resorts during the winter months, many winter sun-seekers book Lanzarote villas and take a holiday to enjoy the beaches of this Canary Island.
