The Good
- Break from the wind: Lanzarote is famously windy, but this beach is tucked between cliffs that shelter it nicely. You’ll notice a big difference compared to other spots on the island.
- Expansive space: The beach is huge, so even when it’s busy you can spread out and feel like you’ve got your own slice of paradise.
- Clear, calm water: For the Atlantic, the water here is surprisingly calm and crystal clear - more like the Caribbean than what you’d expect from Lanzarote.
The Bad
- Hard to find: Signage isn’t great, and it’s easy to get mixed up with nearby coves if you don’t know exactly where you’re going.
- Steep path: From the parking lot it’s a rocky, steep descent. Totally doable, but you’ll feel it on the way back up.
- No services: No bathrooms, no food, no shade - you need to pack in everything you’ll need for the day.
The Naked Truth
Playa Caleta del Congrio feels like a hidden gem in Lanzarote’s rugged landscape. It takes some effort to get there, but once you’re down on the sand the vibe is relaxed, the cliffs give you shelter from the wind, and the water is beautifully calm and clear. You’ll find a mix of naturists and textile beachgoers, but plenty of people go nude and it feels normal here. Come prepared with supplies - this is one of those raw, no-frills beaches where the lack of amenities is part of the charm.
Insider Tip
Don’t trust the signs - they can be confusing. Use GPS or follow directions carefully, otherwise you’ll waste time at the wrong beach.

Our Visit

Nude Beach Map. Visited 2025
On Lanzarote where fully naturist beaches can be difficult to find, Playa Caleta del Congrio really feels like a gem. We were relieved to see plenty of other naturists here on our visit, which instantly made us feel at ease, and the beach itself is so large that you can always carve out your own slice of paradise. Even though we visited in early June, which is technically the start of summer, it wasn’t crowded at all. We had long stretches of sand almost to ourselves, which added to the feeling of being somewhere secluded and special.

There’s an entry fee to get into the Los Ajaches park (normally €3 per car), but when we visited there was no one manning the booth, so we drove in for free. Just be aware that the signage inside the park isn’t great - the arrows to the beach are poorly marked from the parking area, and it’s easy to end up at the wrong cove if you’re not careful.
Amenities are basically non-existent. Aside from the established parking lot, there’s nothing else - no bathrooms, no food, no shade structures. We packed our own food and drinks, which you’ll definitely want to do. The walk down from the parking lot is steep, and the return climb in the midday heat felt brutal. By the time we made it back up, we were sweaty and glad we had water with us.
The beach itself is guarded by dramatic cliff faces, which not only make the setting beautiful but also block Lanzarote’s famously strong winds. Tucking yourself against the cliffs also gives you some natural shade when the sun gets too intense. The sea is stunningly clear and blue, but it can get rough depending on the day - so swimming is more for confident swimmers.
We spent hours walking naked up and down the shoreline, collecting shells and rocks, and soaking in the wild, untouched vibe. There were people swimming, sleeping, fishing, running.. you name it. The beach is raw and beautiful, and even with its challenges - tricky signage, steep walk, and lack of facilities, Playa Caleta del Congrio is absolutely worth the effort. If you’re looking for a true naturist experience in Lanzarote that feels spacious and unspoiled, this is it. Highly recommended.

Getting There
Playa Caleta del Congrio is inside the protected Los Ajaches Natural Park, part of the Papagayo area. Because it’s a nature reserve, there’s a small entry fee if you’re driving in - €3 per car, €2 for motorbikes - but walking or cycling in is free. In the off season there is noone there to collect the money, so it is free.
By Car: From Playa Blanca, follow the signs toward Papagayo and take the dirt road into the park. You’ll pass through a control booth where you pay the entry fee, then continue on the rough track until you reach the parking area for Caleta del Congrio. From there it’s a steep, rocky walk down to the sand, so wear decent shoes.
By Public Transport: There are no buses into the park itself. The best option is to get to Playa Blanca by bus, then take a taxi through the park entrance to the Caleta del Congrio parking lot. On foot or by bike, you can enter the park free of charge, but it’s a long trek in the sun, so most people opt for a car.
