Lanzarote offers a variety of beaches with white sand and black, quiet and disheveled, and the waters are, as you may expect, is distributed over the entire coast of the island.
More of my articles to be discussed in more detail, the most beautiful beaches in each of the seven municipalities (article 11-17) and are part of a broader portfolio information, I am for the guests.
Where is the best beach then?
As my home-from-home “is in the south of the island, Playa Blanca, in the municipality of Yaiza, I’m a little bit about the place where the beach is best for me and it is doubt, Papagayo. From the searches, which I the internet, I’m not the only one in this opinion when, no matter where you are, I suggest that you should not miss this out.
Punta de Papagayo (his full name), is located on the southern tip of the island of Lanzarote. With a landscape of volcanic ash, crystal clear water and white sand and the end of this stretch of the coast, with many small bays and coves is simply breathtaking. Access is via the first driving in a dirt road (quite messy) and a tax to pay (is that right, they charge a small fee), then in the sandbars on the beach, because no man – one way.
BEFORE you go in the banks, do not forget to get everything what you need, a cafeteria, and only in this area, as you do not want to keep trudging up and down, believe me, I did. The difficulty in agreeing on the beach is worth it. If you decide to walk along the beach to see the other berries, please bear in mind that some visitors to swim naked at this point because it is allowed. You should not use this in the bay of the cafeteria.
If you search this area of the Internet continues, you can resume playback of statements like “sometimes wild” and “waves can be a bit much at once, so your instinct, just say the one eye on the children.
I want the rest of this article to a day Papagayo in the spring of 2005.
On this trip, my wife has decided to remain at the top of the cliff in the cafeteria, as we did not stay long. I have my two sons in the immediate Bay was the kids pestering me to play in the sand and a jump into the water (as children). I did what most parents are on vacation – I shall take their demands for a peaceful life.
My oldest son (of 11 at the time) decided that he was still a little more courage, that the younger, from 6 years and remained in the ankle that “the region with the sea myself. It wandered to a point that each wave broke on the chest and neck when he jumped, as the broken shaft to avoid a drink salt water.
All children and I am sure, now you know what happens …. that they are not!
I have a huge wave behind him on the sea and began to yell at him back a little. He has never understood my gestures to him, then I came to him (the most recent instructions back to the beach and immediately on the spot to stay “). Once, the younger, which he said, and exactly how I heard it myself and moved me. I have up to 5 meters away from him before the 15-meter wave crashed over his head!
What seemed like an eternity at the time I completely lost from view. He again, spluttering, and a good 30 meters from me, giving you an assessment of the energy of the waves. My son has responded to my response to see, before the outbreak of laughter (I think he thought that I am angry at him, as if!). It was covered from head to toe in the sand, drank half a liter or more of salt water and in spite of their courage, he was shocked over and apparently to this day we still have in memory is the wave of Papagayo, but he had learned his lesson, and so life to swallow salt water another day.
It is interesting to emphasize that two of my children are very good swimmers, in the swimming lessons too early. Your “reward” for this is more freedom for a holiday, especially in swimming pools, we can still see. I have not a single moment (you know, I really say that I) do not think it again, but please consider my experience when you look at Papagayo, that “warning” strong waves, which “often rejected by the occasional visitors.
But do not compensate for this, because it is really fantastic and we have once again to attract more visitors to the island.
I will order these items at a nearby an important message for safety – in the sea and pool play is very funny, but aware of the hazards and act responsibly and with flag warnings.
For this purpose, you must:
1. Swim parallel to shore;
2. Deep in your bathing suit (it is often difficult to swim at the beach, the currents can be strong);
3. Never swim immediately after eating;
4. Never swim alone or at night;
5. Be careful with the local conditions (currents, etc.) according to the advice in case of doubts, and do boats and jet ski, when in the vicinity, and please do not swim in the affected areas of their use;
6. Remember that the red flag means dangerous conditions, not into the water “;
7. Remember that the yellow flag means dangerous conditions, caution, and
8. Remember that the green flag indicates that the “safety for swimming.
Oh … And if you’re wondering, it was a green flag at the time of the incident with my son, and it was amended so that the yellow time, we have at the top of the cliff.
Were we unhappy? No, we were lucky!
