Playa de Papagayo
Golden-sand cove within the Los Ajaches Natural Monument in southern Lanzarote, with clear, sheltered waters.
Playa de Papagayo is the best known of a group of sheltered coves inside the Los Ajaches Natural Monument, near Playa Blanca. Its golden sand and calm, crystal-clear water make it a highly rated spot for swimming and snorkelling.
Access is via a dirt track with an environmental toll, and there is no development, so the beach keeps its wild character. The view over the Atlantic with Fuerteventura on the horizon is part of its appeal.

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.
