Playa Dorada (Playa Blanca)

Playa Dorada is possibly the most popular beach in Lanzarote’s main resort town of Playa Blanca. The name literally translates to “Golden beach”, and with calm waters, and family-friendly atmosphere it is easy to see why visitors flock here. Sheltered by breakwaters, it offers gentle waves, making it an ideal spot for swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkelling. 

The beach has all the amenities, with sunbeds, umbrellas, showers, and nearby restaurants. Playa Dorada is part of a scenic coastal path that connects it to Playa Blanca’s town centre, Marina Rubicón, and other beaches like Playa Flamingo. The promenade is perfect for an evening stroll, with views of Fuerteventura and Isla de Lobos on the horizon.

With its clear turquoise waters and convenient location, Playa Dorada is a favourite for both tourists and locals looking to enjoy Lanzarote’s warm climate and stunning coastal scenery.
