User reviews
"Great and close to our hotel. You can rent out sun loungers and umbrellas for 4 euros each. The water is a stunning blue and it's safe to swim; there's even a rocky island if you're feeling adventurous, although it's a bit slippery. There's a waterworks area as well as lifeguards. To top it off, the Playa Dorada restaurant/café is right above it."

"I absolutely love the beach in Lanzarote. It's not as peaceful as Playa Flamingo, but it still has all the same amenities like restaurants, bars, and public toilets. The water is crystal clear, making it a great swimming spot. Plus, it's the only beach in Playa Blanca that offers chairs for rent if that's something you're interested in."
