Matagorda Beach

A place to go with the family: Puerto del Carmen

Matagorda Beach is one of the main beaches of the tourist town of Puerto del Carmen, along with Grande Beach and Los Pocillos. Due to its vast extension (more than 800 meters) and the number of activities that can be carried out, it is a perfect place to spend the whole day with the children. In addition, around the beach you can find a multitude of services such as restaurants, cafes or terraces available on its famous promenade. It is also a good place for windsurfing, as it is a beach open to the sea where the wind usually blows almost every day of the year.

See aircraft arriving

Matagorda Beach is very close to Lanzarote's airport, which allows you to see the planes take off and land just a few meters away. Likewise, when you arrive on the island, Matagorda Beach is the first thing you can usually see from the airplane window.

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.
