Los Charcones of Lanzarote

Unspoilt natural swimming pools in the south of Lanzarote

Nature as a natural architect has no comparison. The natural, unspoilt swimming pools of Los Charcones are to be found in the south of Lanzarote, a five minute drive from Playa Blanca. A series of pools of different sizes, depths, and shapes are a joy to see, quite unlike the unfinished, abandoned hotel that the human hand has left behind.

An area of the most beautiful natural pools in the Canary Islands

In spite of the contrast or precisely because of it, Los Charcones has everything you need to relax, enjoy a book or good company or even time alone to yourself. With pools for relaxing swims and diving areas, there is a constant trickle of unspoilt, natural swimming pools along the almost two kilometres from the Pechiguera lighthouse. Only accessible by a dirt track, the open seas and habitual winds are more than made up for by a natural design that wins you over.

  • 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 water.
  • 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.
  • Try to use ocean-friendly sun creams.
  • 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.
  • Pets are prohibited at many natural pools. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
