Set beneath a range of steep hills on the south coast of
Lanzarote, Puerto del Carmen is the island's major 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 is a sprawling holiday
complex offering entertainment for all ages. Puerto del Carmen is
the centre of the Lanzarote's nightlife and, being centrally
located, is within easy distance of all the islands key
attractions.
