Playa de los Pocillos, White sand beach in Puerto del Carmen, Spain
Playa de los Pocillos is a wide beach of light sand stretching over a kilometre along the coast in Tías, on Lanzarote. The shore slopes gently into the water, and at low tide shallow pools remain in the sand.
The beach emerged as part of the transformation from a small fishing village into a major tourist center on Lanzarote. This growth brought infrastructure and development to a previously quiet coastal area.
The beach serves as a social gathering place where locals and visitors spend their days by the water. It forms the recreational core of the area, drawing people who want to enjoy the coast together.
The beach has changing facilities, showers, and restrooms plus sun beds available for rent along the shore. A wide range of restaurants and cafes nearby make it easy to spend the full day here.
The beach lies on Lanzarote Island in the province of Las Palmas, in the Canary Islands, about 1,600 km southwest of Madrid. It sits in the municipality of Tías, on the island's southeastern coast.
