Playa Chica
Small sheltered cove in Puerto del Carmen with calm water, very popular for snorkelling and diving.
Playa Chica is a sand-and-rock cove in the heart of Puerto del Carmen. Its sheltered shape keeps the water calm almost all year, making it ideal for families and for beginner snorkellers.
It is also one of the best-known dive sites on Lanzarote, with easy entry into the water and plenty of marine life close to shore.

Playa Blanca (Puerto del Carmen)
Playa Blanca is one of the two main stretches of sand at Puerto del Carmen, in the municipality of Tías, and it should not be mixed up with the town of the same name some twenty kilometres further south, in Yaiza. Fine golden sand, a south facing shore and usually gentle water, because the island itself screens the coast from the north easterly trade wind. Behind it runs Avenida de las Playas, the promenade that links the resort's beaches.

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.
