Playa Chica, sheltered by volcanic rock formations in lively Puerto del Carmen, stretches just 90 meters of fine golden sand along Lanzarote's southeast coast. Its compact size is precisely what makes it special: a protected haven where Atlantic waves calm down, offering crystal-clear waters perfect for families and swimmers seeking tranquility. The striking contrast between black volcanic stones and deep blue sea creates an authentically Canarian visual scene.

Also known as Pila de la Barrilla, this urban beach provides all essentials for a relaxed day: freshwater showers, public restrooms, lifeguard service, and sunbed rental. On windy days—common in Lanzarote—its privileged orientation acts as a natural shield, while its sandy bottom and nearby rocks invite snorkeling exploration. Coastal marine life surprises even in shallow depths, making it a favorite spot for underwater discovery.

Right along the seafront promenade, several beach bars and local shops offer cold drinks and beach essentials within steps of your towel. Its welcoming character, coupled with Blue Flag certification, establishes it as a beloved classic of Lanzarote's coastline where comfort and nature coexist effortlessly.
