1. Janubio Beach

Playa de Janubio is one of the most emblematic black beaches in Lanzarote, located in the municipality of Yaiza.
With more than 800 meters in length, this beach offers an impressive spectacle at sunset, when the sun’s rays reflect on its black sand.
However, due to its strong waves and wind, it is not suitable for swimming.
This virgin beach is also a Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA), which makes it a perfect place for nature lovers.
Take advantage of your visit to explore the nearby Salinas de Janubio and Los Hervideros, where you can admire stunning volcanic landscapes and rock formations.

2. Los Clicos Beach

Located in the picturesque fishing village of El Golfo, Playa de Los Clicos is another of Lanzarote’s black sand gems.
It is especially famous for the Charco de Los Clicos, an emerald green lagoon that contrasts spectacularly with the dark sand of the beach.
This unique color is due to the abundance of sulfur in the lagoon.
Although swimming is not recommended due to the strong currents, Los Clicos beach is an ideal place to enjoy the natural beauty and capture stunning photographs of this volcanic landscape.

3. Montaña Bermeja Beach

Playa de Montaña Bermeja offers a distinctive landscape, with its black sand contrasting with the deep blue of the ocean and the deep red of the mountain that gives it its name.
Located in front of the Montaña Bermeja volcano, this beach is less visited, making it a tranquil retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle.
Although bathing is not safe here due to the strong currents, walking along its sandy area of about 500 meters is an experience in itself.
In addition, it is located near Los Hervideros, a perfect place to continue your exploration of the volcanic coast of Lanzarote.

4. Burnt Beach

In the quiet village of Playa Quemada, in the south of Lanzarote, there is a beach that seems to have stopped in time. Cala Quemada, part of the Los Ajaches Natural Monument, is known for its tranquil atmosphere and relatively calm waters, thanks to the natural protection offered by the Los Ajaches massif.
Here, you can enjoy a sunny day in a serene setting, surrounded by the natural beauty of Lanzarote and the charm of an authentic seafaring atmosphere.
In addition, near Playa Quemada, you will find other lesser-known beaches, ideal for exploring.

5. El Paso Beach

Located on the coast of the stunning Timanfaya National Park, Playa de El Paso is a hidden gem that can only be accessed on foot from the town of El Golfo.
This 180-meter-long beach stands out for its black sand and the white foam of the sea that hits it, creating a spectacular contrast.
Although swimming is not recommended due to the strong waves and currents, El Paso beach is a perfect place to enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in Lanzarote, surrounded by a unique volcanic landscape.
