If you are on holidays in Lanzarote, visiting La Graciosa is a must. No matter your children’s age, there are plenty of family plans on the island. In this guide you’ll find all you need when visiting La Graciosa with your children. Adventures for everyone in the family!
What to do in La Graciosa with kids
Explore Caleta del Sebo
The capital of La Graciosa is the perfect place to be with your kids, especially babies and children under 5. In Caleta de Sebo, you can walk across its sandy streets, visit Museo Chinijo (learn about the islets of this archipelago), the port and spend a lovely beach day on the beach with calm waters.
The best part? All the restaurants and shops are in this area, even a playground for children.
Sunbathing in La Francesa Beach
If you want to explore this paradisiacal island a bit and you’re fully equipped, you should go to the beach called La Francesa. This unspoilt beach is 35 minutes away from Caleta de Sebo on foot. It is, for sure, one of the best beaches in La Graciosa.
Turquoise waters, white sand, spectacular views over the cliffs of Famara in Lanzarote… It’s paradise! Remember: as there are no shops or facilities out of Caleta de Sebo, you must bring food, water, sunscreen, caps, umbrellas, towels… everything you may need!
Enjoy a boat trip with water activities
If you’d like to visit the two spots mentioned before, you should go on an organised excursion. This tour is perfect for a 1-day visit, as it includes a tour around Caleta del Sebo, a catamaran ride along the southern coast, a visit to Playa La Francesa, water activities like kayaking and snorkelling, food and drinks.
Besides, another advantage is that children have a discount and under 3 year-olds go for free. Enjoy a different family day on your holidays!
Discover other beaches such as La Concha or La Cocina
For a 1-day visit with your children, the itinerary described before is perfect for you. However, if you’re staying longer on the island, you could visit other beaches like La Concha in the north or La Cocina in the south. Bear in mind that these places are more than an hour away from Caleta de Sebo on foot.
Another option is to hire bikes in Caleta del Sebo. However, we must admit that visiting La Graciosa by bike with your children may not be the best plan, as there are many areas with lots of sand and you all may need to walk alongside your bike for a while.
Jeep Safari in family
A different way to discover the beautiful spots of La Graciosa is by doing a jeep safari in a 4×4 vehicle with all the family. A local driver will take you to either north or south and will make stops in the most important places.
