Playa Papagayo

The 5 lagoons of Playa Papagayo are definitely worth a visit. These 5 stunning beaches are located on the southern coast of Lanzarote. Especially in the summertime, it can be a bit more crowded on these beaches, but visit in wintertime on a stormy day, and you won’t find anyone here. An excellent opportunity to take the most beautiful photos. It is a dirt road that brings you here, so you need a good car or walk for around 4 kilometers.

The first, largest one is Playa de Mujeres. There is plenty of room to lay down your beach towel and enjoy the clear blue water. From here you can walk to the next beach, Playa del Pozo. It is not very far, but you have to go over some hills. This beach is quieter but still stunning. The next one is Playa de la Cera, a tiny and secluded beach but definitely worth visiting. However, the different lagoons are not that different from each other.

A little further, you find Playa Papagayo, the most famous lagoon. This is also the only beach that has one cafe for drinks. There is also a parking place there, so you can go directly here if you only want to visit Playa Papagayo. The last one of the lagoons is Playa Caleta del Congrio, located a little further from the others, more on the east coast.
