El Golfo Lanzarote, Black sand beach in El Golfo, Spain

The volcanic beach features a green lagoon called Charco de los Clicos, surrounded by black cliffs and dark sand formations along the coast.

The fishing village of El Golfo developed as a significant salt trading port during the 19th century, with remnants of salt production still visible today.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods, supplying fresh catches directly to the waterfront restaurants that line the village streets.

Visitors can access the beach viewing point through a designated parking area at the entrance of the village, with clear pathways leading to observation platforms.

The lagoon's distinct green color results from specific algae species Ruppia-Maritima that thrives in the mineral-rich volcanic environment.
