Piscina natural Coloseo
Piscina natural Coloseo sits at Charco del Palo, on the north-eastern coast of Lanzarote, in the municipality of Haría. The official Canary Islands tourism portal describes this stretch of coast as a group of natural pools spread across three small coves, rocky underfoot and with very little sand, with calm water and open to the wind. It is a naturist area, it has parking and there is no lifeguard service.
Piscina natural Coloseo lies on the shore of Charco del Palo, a small settlement on the north-eastern coast of Lanzarote that belongs to the municipality of Haría. The setting is volcanic rock, and the official Canary Islands tourism portal describes the natural pools along this stretch as spread across three small coves, rocky underfoot and with very little sand.
The same source notes that two of the pools fill and empty with the tide, while a third one allows swimming out towards the open sea. The water is described as calm and the area is exposed to the wind. This is a naturist spot, also listed as LGTBI friendly, with parking available and no lifeguard service.

Playa de Puntalarga
Playa de Puntalarga is a small bay on the coastline of Fuencaliente de La Palma, about a hundred metres long and twenty metres wide, with a mix of sand and callao pebbles. Small rocky outcrops shelter it from the sea and the swell stays moderate. A natural rock pool lies right beside the beach, and the whole corner is ringed by fishermen's huts, with fishermen often at work there.
