Mirador de El Golfo

Lanzarote

Volcanic nature with views of Charco de los Clicos

In El Golfo, in the south of Lanzarote, lies one of the island’s most singular vantage points, the El Golfo Viewpoint. The volcanic cliffs, the green lagoon and the waves breaking just a few metres away offer a unique experience for the senses. The viewpoint connects with a path that goes down to the beach of El Golfo, where one can enjoy the scenery by the seashore.

A perfect place for photography enthusiasts

At the end of the day, the last rays of sunlight and tranquillity reign over the atmosphere: a perfect moment for portraying the calm of these natural surroundings. The sea, the black sand, the vibrant greens of Charco de los Clicos (due to a high concentration of algae) and the reddish volcanic rocks form an image well worth photographing.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
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.
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'.
Respect and look after the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, binoculars and telescopes, etc.).
Respect the signposting along trails. Leaving the set paths and spaces causes damage to the environment and could also be dangerous for you and anyone with you.
Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.).
