Los Caletones is a stretch of coves on Lanzarote’s northern coast, just before the town of Órzola. Volcanic rock shapes the shore and gives the area a rugged character, with open views that suit a quiet stop or an afternoon outdoors. You can reach the coves by car, and parking is available. Swimming is safest when the tide is in; at low tide, exposed rock can leave little dry sand, and strong winds can make entering the water difficult.
