You’ll find this family-friendly playa off the main LZ-1 road, around half-an-hour’s drive from the airport. The jarring contrast between its mellow yellow sands and the black volcanic rock overlaying the shore makes for an envy-making snap. We recommend stopping off here before catching a ferry from nearby Órzola to one of the smaller (and least explored) Canary Islands: La Graciosa.

Papagayo Beaches

Alright, we’re cheating here – Papagayo actually consists of five clean and serene beaches, each a world away from Lanzarote’s resorts. Take your pick and pack the bucket and spade: Mujeres, El Pozo, Caleta del Congrio, Puerto Muelas or El Papagayo, all equally stunning and reachable via a scenic coastal footpath leading out from Los Colorados.
