About the beach
Tías · Lanzarote
Playa Matagorda is a flat, expansive stretch of the Puerto del Carmen coast near the airport, featuring light sand and a promenade that encourages seaside strolls. Aircraft and the wind shape its character; it is a better spot for walking and coastal sightseeing than for finding a secluded cove. Local amenities are close by, making it easy to alternate between beach time and a stop at a nearby café or restaurant.
