Beaches of Isla Graciosa (islet off Lanzarote’s northern tip)The neighbouring islet La Graciosa is blessed with several long, unspoilt beaches featuring dunes of fine white sand, which are by many considered some of the finest natural beaches of the archipelago. Most of these beaches are very secluded, a few can only be reached by foot, but everybody who makes it there is rewarded with striking beauty, breathtaking views, fine white sand, crystalline waters and divine tranquillity.
The most beautiful of the islet’s best-known beaches is the 500 m (1,640 ft) long Playa de las Conchas on its north-western shore, with spectacular views on the uninhabited smaller islands of Montaña Clara, Roque del Este and Alegranza. It takes about one hour and a half to get there by foot, but car rides can be arranged at the village of Caleta del Sebo, the main settlement. In the surroundings or nearby the village are Caleta de Arriba (50 m – 165 ft), La Laja (100 m – 328 ft) and El Salado, a strip of 1.5 km (about 1 mile) fine golden sand that can only be reached by foot. Further distanced from the village are Playa Francesa and Playa La Cocina to the south and Playa Lambra on the north shore… and there are still more! La Graciosa has everything for all those who seek natural beauty and tranquillity to get away from it all! |
