Playa del Reducto, Sand beach in Arrecife, Spain
Playa del Reducto is a sandy beach on the eastern coast of Lanzarote stretching roughly 700 meters with pale sand and calm waters. It includes showers, changing facilities, lifeguard coverage, and easy access to parking and public transit.
The name comes from an 18th century military fort that defended the coast against pirate raids. This naming reflects Lanzarote's long past as a strategic port and defensive location.
The beach serves as a gathering place for locals and visitors who come to swim and spend time together in the sun. Nearby restaurants offer fresh seafood, turning a morning swim into part of the daily rhythm of coastal life.
The water stays mild year-round and the coastal location means the beach is accessible nearly every day. Arriving early helps you find space and enjoy the quieter hours of the morning.
Natural reef formations create a sheltered swimming area where the water stays exceptionally calm. This feature sets it apart from other beaches along this stretch of the eastern coast.
