About the beach

Tías · Lanzarote

Playa Grande is the main urban beach in Puerto del Carmen, bordered by the Avenida de las Playas, which is lined with shops, terraces, and restaurants. Its golden sands offer plenty of room for walking, while the available amenities make it easy to stay for a few hours or the entire day. The peaks of Los Ajaches are visible in the background. Choose this spot if you want both the sea and the local town atmosphere in one place, offering a livelier vibe than the secluded coves.
