We would like to advise you that before beginning your tranquil beach route, that this area does not have the best swimming conditions. Strong currents on this southwest coast of Lanzarote have great forces. Here there is always present a red flag indicating that you should be aware of the dangers when visiting or using the beach. Not surprisingly, this magnificent stretch of just over 800 meters of black sand is a short distance from Los Hervideros, with its fragile space there can be seen swaying submarines looking for a way out. Soaking your feet in the seas shore is the best alternative to a safe bathe.
Even though the sea is rough, ironically due to the intriguing colour of the black sand it portrays a sense of quietness and wellbeing. The sand fancifully collects the remains of the seaweed that is washed up by the tide. With little use, Janubio is a peaceful haven of relaxation and contemplation. Its relaxation is due to the lack of noise and that of only the prevailing winds and comtemplation because of the proximity of the majestic Salinas de Janubio. Its green lake and its dense black sandy beach result in an eye catching explosion of colours that is worth seeing. Because of its location, when visiting Jaunbio you have the optional southern on route stops of visiting either the Timanfaya volcano, El Golfo and Charco de los Clicos and the powerful landscape of in and around Salinas de Janubio itself.
What to do before and after:
The perfect complements when passing through the black sand of Janubio would be to visit its neighboring villages of Salinas, Los Hervideros and Charco de los Clicos. Why not visit the Timanfaya National Park, eat fresh fish in El Golfo, and if not take a trip through the privileged landscaped route of La Geria and try some wine tasting.
