BEACHES

Lanzarote's beaches invite the visitor to enjoy the sea that laps the island's shores, particularly since the average annual water temperature is around 19.5º C.

The sea surrounding Lanzarote, generally calm and welcoming, can be enjoyed from the numerous beaches that are scattered along the coastline. Apart from the well-known pleasures of sun and sand, the water also offers fantastic opportunities for the enjoyment of water sports and boat trips, due to the excellent weather conditions present all year round, the long hours of sunshine and the warm average temperature of the sea water.
