Playa Quemada is a small cove with dark volcanic sand and volcanic stones located in the municipality of Yaiza, on the eastern coast of Lanzarote. Its name refers to the dark colour of its sand, a result of the volcanic activity that defines the island. Here you'll find a peaceful setting, away from the busier tourist areas.

The surroundings retain the character of a fishing village, with low houses and an authentic atmosphere. The waters are usually calm, making it easy to swim and snorkel. The beach itself is compact, combining volcanic sand with stones and rocks typical of Lanzarote's coastline. It's a place where nature and the volcanic landscape are present without significant tourist development.

Playa Quemada is located in the hamlet of the same name, accessible by road from Yaiza. Don't expect extensive tourist services: it's a spot that keeps its simplicity and connection to the sea.
