If you're planning a getaway from Lanzarote, La Graciosa is that little paradise you shouldn't leave out of your itinerary. This lesser-known Canary Island is a wild, car-free haven where peace, unspoiled beaches, and volcanic landscapes offer you a unique, authentic, and almost secret experience. Here we’ll tell you what to see in La Graciosa, how to get there, and what to do so you can make the most of your visit.
Although it’s small in size, La Graciosa is packed with places that will leave you speechless. These are the must-sees:
Possibly the island’s most famous beach. With its golden sand, turquoise waters, and views of the island of Montaña Clara, it’s perfect for disconnecting and feeling far from everything. That said, swimming can be dangerous due to currents, so it’s better to enjoy it from the shore.
A landscape icon of La Graciosa. This volcanic formation can be circled on foot to admire its colors and the small cove at its feet: Playa de la Cocina, ideal for a peaceful swim.
Just 2 km from the port, it’s one of the most accessible and also one of the most beautiful. Sheltered, with calm waters and fine sand, it's ideal for hours in the sun or snorkeling.
The other inhabited area of the island (along with Caleta de Sebo), though much smaller and with almost no services. A stroll among its white houses by the sea is like traveling back in time.
La Graciosa is perfect for those seeking desert landscapes, lava fields, and unmarked routes. You can explore on foot, by bike, or in a 4×4 (only with an authorized guide).
In addition to its beaches and landscapes, La Graciosa offers activities for all tastes:
Getting to La Graciosa is easy and quick, and there are several options, all through Órzola in northern Lanzarote.
Once you arrive at Caleta de Sebo port, you’ll be in the heart of the island. From there, you can start your adventure on foot, by bike, or by hiring an off-road taxi.
Daily ferries depart from Órzola (Lanzarote) directly to Caleta de Sebo, La Graciosa’s main settlement. You can reach Órzola by car, taxi, or bus from anywhere in Lanzarote.
