About the beach

Tías · Lanzarote

Playa Chica is a small bay in Puerto del Carmen enclosed by lava formations. Its appeal extends underwater: the seabed makes it a popular spot for diving and snorkeling—activities to be undertaken according to your experience level and sea conditions. There is little sand on the shore, so the beach fills up quickly. It is a choice for those who want to observe marine life while staying close to amenities, rather than for long walks along the sand.
