Puerto del Carmen
Set beneath a range of steep hills on the south coast of
Lanzarote, Puerto del Carmen is the island's major holiday resort.
Its main feature is a spectacular two-mile (3km) golden beach,
which is backed by a main road, The Strip, where shops, bars and
restaurants of every variety can be found. The Old Town retains
some of its old world charm but for the most part the resort of
Puerto del Carmen is a sprawling holiday complex offering
entertainment for all ages. It is the centre of the Lanzarote's
nightlife and is within easy distance of all the island's key
attractions.
