Beaches of Puerto del Carmen (south coast)
Lanzarote’s major holiday resort on the south coast, Puerto del Carmen, is blessed with three fabulous sandy beaches. The most famous – by many considered as some of the island’s most beautiful – are the yellow sand beaches Playa Grande (confusingly also known as Playa Blanca like the southern tourist resort) and Playa de los Pocillos, both over one kilometre (0.6 mile) long. At the eastern end of the town is Playa de Matagorda, with fewer attractions and less frequented, as the noise from the nearby airport keeps off the crowds, but otherwise also very attractive.
Puerto del Carmen’s beaches are man-built, therefore easily accessible, family-friendly and generally safe for swimming. They offer a wide range of water sports and leisure facilities, good water quality and all the necessary infrastructures for an enjoyable, fun-filled day on the beach!
All along the beaches runs the six kilometre long Avenida de las Playas, a sea promenade, lined with hundreds of restaurants, bars and cafés, ice cream parlours, amusement arcades and shops to round off your beach day with more fun-things to do when the sun goes down! After midnight, nightlife continues in nightclubs and discos that can be found in various shopping centres in the area.
