The best beaches of La Graciosa
Playa de La Francesa
Considered one of the best beaches for its waters and jable is located in the south of La Graciosa, the beach has incredible views and is divided into two areas separated by a small rocky dike, the beach has a wonderful white sand and turquoise transparent waters with little waves that has nothing to envy to the beaches of the Caribbean being an exceptional place to travel with your friends or family and enjoy a wonderful beach.

You can also reach this wonderful beach by kayak from Caleta de Sebo or by walking for a couple of minutes and the beach is not serviced so it is essential to bring water, sunscreen and some food if you plan to spend the day.

Playa de La Cocina
The beach of La Cocina, also known as the Yellow Mountain, can only be reached by walking for 10-15 minutes from the beach of La Francesa, as neither bicycles nor taxis can access this wonderful beach and the first thing you can see as soon as you arrive at this beach is the wonderful view of an ancient volcano.
The beach has fine golden sand that merges with clean and crystalline waters and is ideal for activities such as snorkelling or diving, which is an unforgettable experience as you can observe the colourful fish that swim fearlessly between volcanic rocks while you let yourself be carried away by the current and the wonderful marine life that can be seen.

Playa de Las Conchas
Now moving to the north of the island we can discover the beach of Las Conchas, probably the most spectacular of all La Graciosa, a wonderful beach that has golden sand almost reddish, turquoise waters and despite being somewhat complicated to access its wonderful view of the Montaña Clara and the Roque del Oeste make this beach worth a visit.

Playa del Ámbar

The beach has wonderful views and is an ideal place for those who love photography or want to disconnect from the world.
