Beach overall scores
Playa del Pozo (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 del Pozo 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. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"One of the three stunning Playa Flamigo beaches is just a short drive away from Playa Blanca. Make sure you pack plenty of water and snacks, as there are no amenities available. If you're feeling adventurous, you could even hike there, but be sure to do it on a cooler day as the temperatures can be quite high."
Amber de Bruin
"Good spot to visit, and it's easy to get to. You can either take a boat or walk from the carpark at the amenities located in the natural park. If you choose to walk, be sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen, as it's a good 30 minute walk from the end of the Papagayo Promenade. The area is also rich in history, with spring wells close by for anyone interested in learnin..."
