Playa del Papagayo, White sand beach in Lanzarote, Spain.
The beach extends 120 meters along the southeastern coast of Lanzarote, featuring white sand and clear waters bordered by volcanic rock formations.
The formation of Playa del Papagayo dates back millions of years when volcanic activity shaped the coastline of Lanzarote and created its distinctive geological features.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices near the beach, maintaining connections to the maritime heritage of the Canary Islands through generations.
Visitors can access the beach by car through unpaved roads, with parking facilities available near the entrance for a small daily fee.
The beach allows visitors to observe natural tide pools during low tide, revealing small marine ecosystems among the volcanic rocks.
