Naturschwimmbäder Los Charcones

Los Charcones

Natural Pools of Los Charcones in the south of Lanzarote are one of those beautiful secret corners to discover that the island has for all its visitors.

Natural pools of crystal clear water where you can dive and refresh yourself from the sun in Lanzarote. These natural pools are formed thanks to the passage of lava from the last eruptions of the island. Being in a volcanic environment you will be stepping on lava soil at all times, besides leaving a nice picture to take some incredible pictures of your holiday in Lanzarote.

Natural swimming pools are popular in the Canary Islands thanks to their island nature and the sea that bathes the whole territory. That is why you can find hundreds of natural pools not only in Lanzarote but in all the Canary Islands.

Why are they so popular? The natural pools renew their water as the hours go by thanks to the influence of the tides. The waves bring with them the movement of the sea, so the water is constantly changing; besides cooling you down with the change of water temperature.  On the other hand, it is worth noting that there are pools for all tastes and colours, whether you are looking for a deep pool where you can dive or if you prefer to enter a shallow pool rather than read a good book - this is your place! 
 

How to get there?

Los Charcones are located not far from Playa Blanca on the island of Lanzarote.  This hidden place of the world is located on the southwest coast of the island, about two kilometers from the lighthouse of Pechiguera in Playa Blanca. To get there, you will have to walk from the lighthouse during these two - three kilometers. We recommend that you wear suitable footwear for the walk. We don't want you to arrive with your feet broken and not be able to enjoy this wonderful spot!

You can also get there by car, at a not very high speed, if you follow the path towards the old hotel there.

If you want to enjoy a different day away from the tourist areas and the mandatory activities in Lanzarote, this is undoubtedly the best idea: sun, sea and tranquility in one place.
