Playa Caleta del Congrio (Las Palmas) is located outside the Maciot 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. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa Caleta del Congrio with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone.

User reviews
"That place is a great spot for some peace and quiet, situated on the quieter side of the peninsula. With its golden fine sand and South East facing orientation, you can expect plenty of sunshine all throughout the day. It's also worth noting that this beach is a nudist beach, although it's voluntary rather than compulsory."
Davey T
"Great beach for a day out - there are no facilities, but it's clean, friendly, and absolutely stunning. The main beach has a sandy shoreline and rocks beneath the surface, but there are also some beautiful secluded bays with sandy access. If you want to get a good spot, it's best to arrive early as it can get quite busy later in the morning."
