About Lanzarote

At first glance, the diversity of the beaches of the Lanzarote does not have a prominent distinctive feature. There is no clear predominance of mountain landscapes or crystal sea, on the contrary, everything seems balanced. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the flow of tourists continues to grow from year to year.

Latest reviews on Lanzarote's beaches

Playa Chica Beach
8 Kane van der Kolk

That place is the perfect spot for a dip! The crystal clear water and crashing waves make for an idyllic swimming experience. You can rent a mask and snorkel or even take a diving lesson. There's plenty of fish to see, so it's great for snorkelers. You'll hear the sound of the diving compressor, but that's part of the charm. There are free showers, free parking and good vibes, so it's the perfect spot for a day at the beach.

Playa de las Malvas
10 Cody McPherson

This spot is a fantastic place to visit, but beware of the jellyfish! Additionally, the great news is that it has public free entry, making it a great option for a budget-friendly outing.

Playa de la Concha
8 Iris Lentino

The beach was alright. Nothing particularly special, but it was a decent place to spend the day. The beach was satisfactory. Nothing remarkable, but it was an acceptable spot to spend the day.

La Penita
8 Lyle Wittering

This place is a great place to stay. The apartments are fabulous and the location is peaceful and quiet. The pool is very nice and the staff at reception are friendly and helpful. Additionally, the beach is easily accessible, making it a great choice for a vacation.

Playa de Guasimeta
8 Santiago

This is the perfect spot for those who want to take in the sights of aircrafts taking off and landing! Plus, there's a designated area for furry friends to frolic in the sand. It's an unofficial nudist beach, so you can enjoy the sun and sea without any clothes.

Playa de San Juan
8 Caldwell

We visited a beautiful untamed beach that offered breathtaking views of the towering cliff face above Famara. There were a couple of stone circles that provided shelter from the wind, although there was no wind on the day we went.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 7 beaches in the island, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the island is September - air temperature during this time warms up to 23.7°C and water up to 22.7°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 18.1°C and water to 19.3°C.
