Playa Quemada Swimming Forecast

Playa Quemada scores 74/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces S. A quiet, unspoiled fishing-village bay on Lanzarote's southeast coast has small coves of dark pebbles and volcanic sand, sheltered from trade winds by the Los Ajaches mountains, within a protected natural and bird reserve. Water is calm and clear with no surf break, suited to swimming and snorkelling; entry is over shallow rocks, so water shoes help, easier at low tide. A black-sand beach appears around the headland at low tide. No facilities or lifeguard.
