Playa Grande
What the experts agree on
Playa Grande is Lanzarote's busiest urban beach with 1200m of shallow golden sand—perfect for families but crowded with sunbeds. Expect a lively atmosphere and solid amenities rather than tranquility.
“Puerto del Carmen's main beach is a busy strip of yellow sand that's as close as you can get to an urban beach on Lanzarote outside Arrecife.”
– Fodor's
"Playa Grande is crowded and neatly striped with sunbeds and parasols, but, beneath all this, it remains a spectacular 1200m-long beach excellent for families, with shallow waters and good amenities." Full review
