Playa Matagorda

BeachesOutdoors / Nature

Walking along Playa Matagorda means traversing 840 meters of toasted fine sand with the Atlantic horizon unfolding at every step. Located in the municipality of Tías, this coastal strip stretches as a natural invitation to stroll by the sea, where constant winds shape the waves and refresh the atmosphere even on the warmest days.

The setting combines the tranquility of an extensive beach with the possibility of witnessing a curious spectacle: planes descending toward the nearby airport, an unexpected addition that breaks the rhythmic silence of the surf. This unique feature turns each walk into a blend of nature and island daily life.

Awarded the Blue Flag, the beach offers adequate facilities for those seeking to explore the coast at a relaxed pace, observe the ebb and flow of tides, or simply enjoy the contact of sand underfoot. Its 40-meter width allows choosing your preferred proximity to the water along each section of the route.

Perfect for those who appreciate unhurried seaside walks, Matagorda connects with neighboring beaches forming a coastal corridor ideal for discovering Lanzarote's shoreline at the peaceful rhythm the Atlantic inspires.
