About Paseo de la Barrilla shore

A rocky stretch below the old-town promenade near Bar Playa in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote. Unlike the resort beaches it isn't raked, which may be why the glass survives.

Sea glass at Paseo de la Barrilla shore

Loads of glass, with plenty of lilac and aqua, a few multicoloured pieces and some grey.

Visiting Paseo de la Barrilla shore

Getting there
Walk along the promenade wall and take the steps down to the rocks at low tide.
Safety
Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and follow the collecting rules above.
