Lobos Island

Sandwiched between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, Lobos is a protected island that takes you from an uninhabited nature preserve. This spic-and-span volcanic landscape is laden with wonderful beaches, salt marshes, hornitos, rare birds, along with a diverse flora and fauna.

It derives its name from monk seals (sea wolves) that once densely populated this islandIt is frequented majorly for its tranquil, gorgeous beaches away from the chock-a-block of man-made cities where people can sunbathe, go for easy-to-go hikes and surf on waves considered to be the longest in the Canary Islands. These waves are found on the west coast beside the La Caldera volcano and can measure up to 500 metres. 


Amid its turquoise waters sprinkled with dark-coloured rock islets lies one of its most unique offerings, a crescent (half-moon) shaped beach named Playa de la Concha de Lobos. Its curvature is approximately circular and it feels as if you’re swimming in a small lake in the canaries. 


There are not many things one can do here, but one can unwind, relax, swim and spend some quality time in the warm lap of nature
