El Risco beach

An exotic beach in Lanzarote

Enjoying the views of Famara, La Graciosa and the rest of the Chinijo archipelago in the north of Lanzarote is a joy no matter where you contemplate them from. However, enjoying them while you bathe in the calm, crystal clear, invigorating sea is much more satisfying. You will find that and much more in Under the Risco beach, a refuge of peace and tranquility next to the cliffs of Famara, a beach of fine golden sand and a reference point for those looking for peace and tranquility.

Bathing en El Río, opposite La Graciosa

In order to get to this quiet beach you have to take the road down from Yé, near the Mirador del Río or take a boat from Órzola or La Graciosa. The Gracioseros pathway will lead you down in about an hour to the beach and nearby sea mouths which are also well worth seeing. The varying shades of blue of the Atlantic invite you to bathe and to find that sunshine which in the morning hides the cliff. The feelings of serenity and of being in a oasis are assured, from the moment you step on the beach to the moment you step off.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Do not use soap or gel in the showers located at the entrance to the beach.
Try to use ocean-friendly sun creams.
Pets are prohibited at most beaches. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
