To the left of the Montana del Golfo, a path goes off to the right in the left-hand bend. If you go a little further, you will come directly to Playa de los Clicos. You are guaranteed to be alone, because the path from the very well-visited vantage point down to the Playa is closed and the parking lot in the curve is no longer there! The detour is worth it!

Playa de los Clicos, also known as the Green Lagoon of Lanzarote, is a fascinating natural phenomenon on this unique Canary Island. This coastal landscape is located in the west of Lanzarote, near the small fishing village of El Golfo.

What makes Playa de los Clicos so special is the distinctive green lagoon formed by a half-collapsed volcanic crater. The lagoon is filled with algae that colors the water an intense green, creating a fascinating contrast to the black volcanic sand beaches and the blue Atlantic.

The charm of this place lies not only in the unusual color scheme, but also in the quiet and secluded atmosphere. Visitors can take a stroll along the shore and admire the impressive scenery while enjoying the sound of the waves and the fresh sea breeze. Photographers are drawn to the high-contrast subjects and vibrant colors that combine to create a truly unique image.

Near Playa de los Clicos is the charming fishing village of El Golfo, perfect for a relaxed meal at one of the local seafood restaurants. The area is also a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers looking to explore the volcanic landscape and take in the spectacular beauty of Lanzarote. All in all, Playa de los Clicos is a natural jewel that enchants visitors with its unique beauty and tranquility.
