If you dream of virgin beaches, crystal-clear waters, and volcanic landscapes that seem from another planet, Caletón Blanco is your place. Located in the north of Lanzarote, in the Órzola area, this beach of white sand and volcanic origin offers a spectacular contrast of colors and a feeling of isolation that makes it one of the most special spots on the island.In this guide we tell you how to get to Caletón Blanco, what to do there and why it deserves a place on your must-see list if you're looking for an authentic experience, far from the crowds and in harmony with Lanzarote's wildest nature.
Caletón Blanco is unlike any other beach on the island. Its long stretches of white sand, interspersed with black lava flows and turquoise pools, create a dramatic yet welcoming landscape.
It is a quiet beach, with shallow areas ideal for swimming, even for families with children. In addition, its orientation and location protect it from the wind, making it especially pleasant all year round.
Don't forget your camera: the contrast between the sand, volcanic rock, and sea blue turns every corner into a postcard.
Caletón Blanco is located a few kilometers from the town of Órzola, in the north of Lanzarote. Getting there is very easy if you have a car.

Recommendation: check Google Maps with the exact location as "Playa del Caletón Blanco", as there is no prominent signage.
● Bring everything you need: it is a virgin beach with no services or beach bars. Bring water, food, umbrella, and sunscreen.
● Arrive early: although it is not usually crowded, in high season it can fill up by mid-morning.
● Limited signal: ideal for disconnecting. Let others know beforehand if you’ll be offline.
● Appropriate footwear: some access areas are through volcanic rock — avoid thin flip-flops.
And above all: respect the environment. You are in a protected natural space. Don't leave trash, don't take volcanic stones, and avoid using speakers.
Caletón Blanco changes a lot with the tide. At low tide, calm pools form, perfect for swimming or snorkeling. At high tide, the sea advances and covers much of the sand. It is advisable to check the tide chart of Lanzarote beforehand.
