Isla de Lobos
Islote de Lobos
An uninhabited volcanic islet opposite Corralejo, with a coastal loop trail, a lighthouse, a crater and the clear waters of the La Concha lagoon bay.
Isla de Lobos covers about 4.7 square km and is a natural park. It is named after the monk seals that once lived here. A ferry takes about 15 minutes to reach the island. The loop trail is about 8 to 9 km (2.5 to 3 hours) and passes the Martiño Lighthouse. You can climb to the La Caldera crater for views over the Corralejo dunes and Lanzarote, then go swimming and snorkeling in La Concha bay.
To visit, apply for a free permit in advance on the official website, and buy your ferry ticket. The island has just one small restaurant, with almost no shade, so bring plenty of water and sun protection.
Opening hours
Ferry approx. 10:00–16:00 (permit required)
