Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote, Canary Islands
Puerto del Carmen, situated on the sun-drenched southeast coast of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, is a charming and dynamic resort town that perfectly blends natural beauty, modern amenities, and traditional Canarian character. Once a quaint fishing village, it has grown into one of the island’s most beloved holiday destinations, offering something for every type of traveler. The town boasts over six kilometers of beautiful golden beaches, including the popular Playa Grande and the more tranquil Playa Chica, both ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports such as diving, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. Along the bustling Avenida de las Playas, visitors can explore an array of shops, open-air cafés, bars, and international restaurants, all set against the backdrop of the sparkling Atlantic Ocean.
Despite its growth, Puerto del Carmen has retained its authentic charm, especially in the old town and harbor area, where you can enjoy fresh seafood while watching fishing boats come and go. The area is also known for its vibrant nightlife, with a wide variety of pubs, live music venues, and late-night clubs offering entertainment for all tastes. For those looking to explore beyond the beach, Puerto del Carmen is an excellent base for discovering Lanzarote’s unique volcanic landscapes, including the nearby Timanfaya National Park, as well as local vineyards, art galleries, and cultural sites. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, Puerto del Carmen delivers an unforgettable experience in a stunning island setting.
