Fantastic experience: Beach in the middle of Arrecife. It has complete services such as lifeguard, showers,... The only problem is that although it has fine sand, the access to the water is over stone slabs with a risk of slipping.
Positive experience: It is the beach in the center of Arrecife, bordered by a promenade. It has nearby parking. It is white sand, but at low tide it is full of rocks and stones.
Positive experience: I couldn't go for a swim in the water, but the views were super nice and there was parking nearby.
Fantastic experience: It is the beach in the city center. It is not very comfortable for swimming as there are many stones. But it is easily accessible and everything is very close by.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach right in the center, it doesn't have waves, but it's great for cooling off.

Positive experience: Great beach in Arrecife, well the only beach in Arrecife to be more exact, it is very lovely with high tide, with low tide it's a bit messy with all the rocks but it is a volcanic island so rocks are to be expected everywhere. The beach has a rock fence that won't allow high waves so it's good for the kids. Now about the downside, and that is that there's pipes coming out from the Gran hotel and sometimes the water gets infected, but local authorities usually close the beach when that happens.
Positive experience: Beautiful sandy beach, quiet and peaceful For the first time I was suprised theres less than 10 people in such a big beach. We didn't stay much longer as the wind keep on blowing the sand into our mat. Maybe bringing a personal beach bench is a better option. There's showers and road accessible for wheelchair. Beach is surrounded by buildings. Closed to city. No dogs area.

Positive experience: Very nice beach at high tide. When it goes down, it has many stones. Located in a perfect location with all the ideal conditions. Restrooms and showers, playground, and shops.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach, some palm trees for shade. There is construction going on, otherwise very nice with the promenade. Not a highlight, but it's enough for swimming. It goes in very shallow, but there are also many stones.

Positive experience: A beach of a large commercial town. With construction work ongoing on the promenade it has little to commend it. Food however at a beach side restaurant was very good, and reasonably priced.
Fantastic experience: Nice local beach. Great for relax if you don't fancy spending hours in the bus to other beaches . You can go for a nice walk around the costs or run. The beach itself I'd sandy with an easy access into water. But I would definitely recommend to take water shoes. Lots of shop's and restaurants near by.
Fantastic experience: This beach is very beautiful! The sand is nice and clean and there are no rocks, the water is also good and clear, you can see people doing different sports inside the water, you can also see some marine life on the rocks such as crabs. There are also many good restaurants opposite this beach, it is recommended to visit it
Positive experience: Plaża w porównaniu z plażami Costa de Teguise (miejscowość obok) lub Puerto del Carmen nie jest zbyt atrakcyjna. Nie ma teżżadnego beach baru. Na plus położenie w centrum miasta.
Fantastic experience: Vistas maravillosas y rodeado de buenos restaurantes

Fantastic experience: Nice beach in the center of Arrecife. Very friendly bathroom service and lifeguards.
Positive experience: Playa Reducto, Lanzarote. Spiaggia nel centro di Arrecife, sabbia bianca, mare calmo e cristallino ideale per i più piccoli. Alle spalle numerose attività commerciali : negozi, bar/ristoranti, tabacchi, percorso ciclo pedonale, parco giochi. Contesto rumoroso data la collocazione, orribile la vista del grattacielo. Amata dalla gente del posto, la comodità di avere una spiaggia in città raggiungibile in qualsiasi ora della giornata. Docce. Servizio bagnino. Raggiungibile a piedi o in bici da Puerto del Carmen.
Positive experience: Es la playa de la capital de Lanzarote, llamada Playa del Reducto. Playa con arena artificial. Esta muy limpia pero la orilla del mar parece fango, al no haber oleaje. Es adecuada para los niños. Esta decorada con Palmeras. Tiene duchas. No se ve siempre durante el día un socorrista en ella. Sobre todo en verano, suelen hacer muchos juegos en la arena. Vista desde arriba del Gran Hotel, ya sea de dia o de noche, es muy bonita. Tiene una buena avenida con carril bici. Tiene duchas y zona para persona a con movilidad reducida.
Fantastic experience: Muy buena playa, amplia, muy limpia, buen ambiente, tiene su salvavidas, juegos de playa, buena ubicación, entre otras cosas.

Fantastic experience: Bella spiaggia pulita, mai affollata, molto tranquilla e lunga 800mt circa. Acqua cristallina, ad agosto l'ho trovava calma e limpida. La presenza di scogli permette uno snorkeling interessante. Quando c'è la bassa marea il mare si ritira molto scoprendo gli scogli. C'è una rampa per poter accedere anche in sedia a rotelle. É una spiaggia libera e fornita anche di docce gratuite ma si possono affittare lettini e ombrelloni a prezzi economici. Sulla passeggiata si trovano alcuni negozi di souvenir, qualche bar e ristorante. Ci sono anche tour operator, fermate del bus, affitta bici, scooter o auto. Non c'è una gran movida ma é un punto strategico per spostarsi e visitare l'isola.

Reducto Beach: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Beach in the middle of Arrecife. It has complete services such as lifeguard, showers,... The only problem is that although it has fine sand, the access to the water is over stone slabs with a risk of slipping.
Fantastic experience: City beach of Arrecife
Fantastic experience: Very cozy here at the beach
Positive experience: The beach is large with light sand. There are toilets and showers. However, it's difficult to enter the water due to rocks and a very long line of shallows. I couldn't swim at all in the blazing heat. There is a café nearby and the city center is close. This is a big plus. Perhaps, at high tide, when there is more water, it will be more pleasant to relax here.
Fantastic experience: A lovely beach, although I go rarely, concerts are usually held and it's amazing. Also, during the city’s party, it's where to see the fireworks, I love them.
Positive experience: Very nice beach at high tide. When it goes down, it has many stones. Located in a perfect location with all the ideal conditions. Restrooms and showers, playground, and shops.
Negative experience: What is supposed to be beautiful about this beach does not make sense to me. This place has nothing attractive either. One snack bar after another and in between cheap Asian souvenir shops. I am even more surprised that one can find accommodation here. We have been to this fascinating island for the third time and are captivated by the charm of the small towns. Arrecife definitely does not belong to that.
Fantastic experience: A marvel of nature. The most beautiful marina in the East Atlantic.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach and beautiful views
Positive experience: It is the beach in the center of Arrecife, bordered by a promenade. It has nearby parking. It is white sand, but at low tide it is full of rocks and stones.
Fantastic experience: I love that beach, I recommend it.
Positive experience: I couldn't go for a swim in the water, but the views were super nice and there was parking nearby.
Fantastic experience: It is the beach in the city center. It is not very comfortable for swimming as there are many stones. But it is easily accessible and everything is very close by.
Positive experience: Beach in the center in a pedestrian area. Offers showers and is very clean. The sea is a bit cold, beautiful water. Quite windy.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful well-kept beach, super
Positive experience: Beach in the city, definitely convenient for those staying in Arrecife and who do not have a car. It is equipped with showers and a ramp for disabled people.
Fantastic experience: Kids were happy beach was spacious not too many heads had fun god weather nice food near by
Fantastic experience: For me, it's a great beach because it's right in the city, the water has amazing colors, and the entrance is shallow. Moreover, it's not crowded!
Fantastic experience: Large and quite nice beach. During the period we were at the beach, it was empty. Just a few people.
Positive experience: Pretty quiet beach
Fantastic experience: In my view, a great beach, nice swimming during high tide.
Fantastic experience: Nice clean beach with restrooms
Fantastic experience: A very beautiful beach in Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote. It is perfect with children as the water is calm and shallow for many meters. The posted photos are from Easter 2024 (end of March).
Positive experience: The beach is large and well-maintained, it was also recommended by the hostel worker where I stayed. Nearby the beach, there is a bus stop interchange and a parking area with a promenade. On the downside, construction work is currently taking place on the side of the Gran Hotel and a significant part of the coastline is rocky, as is the case on many beaches of the island.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach right in the center, it doesn't have waves, but it's great for cooling off.
Positive experience: Very beautiful city beach. Currently, there are no public restrooms. There are many services nearby.
Fantastic experience: A nice beach in the city, clean water. The beach is well maintained, with plenty of places for refreshments nearby. Parking is no problem, about 200 meters from the beach - free.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful
Fantastic experience: Fantastic
Fantastic experience: Show
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, some palm trees for shade. There is construction going on, otherwise very nice with the promenade. Not a highlight, but it's enough for swimming. It goes in very shallow, but there are also many stones.
Fantastic experience: Clean small beach
Fantastic experience: Amazing quiet sandy beach
Positive experience: Good beach when they are not doing roadworks. They were improving the pedestrian area when I went. There are lots of empty shop units on the front. It looks like an area under regeneration.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach in the center of Arrecife. Very friendly bathroom service and lifeguards.
Fantastic experience: Super beach in the city
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach right in the city center! Calm and clean sea, soft sand, lots of tranquility despite being just steps away from the center!
Fantastic experience: Nice beach, calm for a weekend. Long and sandy. It's worth taking a walk on the wooden promenade to the end, there's a great spot there to drink whatever you want. I recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place to go in the sea but be careful of the sharp rocks. Water was crystal clear and extremely shallow.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, with services and close to many activities.. but these days there was low tide and there were many rocks instead of the beach..
Positive experience: Somehow the beach didn't look inviting. There are better places if you want to swim.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful sandy beach
Negative experience: There are much better ones on Lanzarote. Currently, there is construction on the promenade. Rocky during low tide.
Fantastic experience: The beach is beautiful, clean, and very wide.
Positive experience: Unfortunately very empty, water is somewhat murky, but quite warm. Beach/sand is very clean.
Positive experience: A bit disappointed. Not what I was expecting.
Positive experience: Not a bad beach, well suited for sunbathing. The shore is very rocky, which can lead to hurting your foot.
Positive experience: The beach is very large, the downside is that it has many rocks.
Fantastic experience: There are works going on now, yes, but to improve the wonderful promenade and to create some stairs that allow for watching the sunsets. It's going to be a pedestrian avenue. The beach is clean and has a blue flag. Very long seaside promenade.
Positive experience: A beach of a large commercial town. With construction work ongoing on the promenade it has little to commend it. Food however at a beach side restaurant was very good, and reasonably priced.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, almost deserted when we arrived at the end of October, so we had one end of the beach totally to ourselves! A minor drawback is the amount of construction work at one end of the beach, which can be quite noisy at times, although we were mostly at the opposite end, so we were far from the worst.
Fantastic experience: Large, nice, sandy beach.
Positive experience: City beach in Arrecife. Can be combined with a city stroll. No highlight... pretty okay.
Positive experience: Nice beach located in the center of Arrecife, not very crowded, beautiful sea, showers are available.
Fantastic experience: I love it when the tide is high, I recommend downloading a tide app to enjoy it, it's perfect with high tide.
Positive experience: White sand beach in Arrecife, crystal clear water although the bottom looks muddy when you step on it, it creates a strange feeling.
Positive experience: Unfortunately, there were no sunbeds or parasols to hire. The paving is being lifted at the moment to make way for pedestrianisation. Very noisy in the mornings from the works. However, the beach is lovely and the sea clean.
Positive experience: Great beach in Arrecife, well the only beach in Arrecife to be more exact, it is very lovely with high tide, with low tide it's a bit messy with all the rocks but it is a volcanic island so rocks are to be expected everywhere. The beach has a rock fence that won't allow high waves so it's good for the kids. Now about the downside, and that is that there's pipes coming out from the Gran hotel and sometimes the water gets infected, but local authorities usually close the beach when that happens.
Negative experience: Beach full of stones, little shade and the city is not very well laid out for tourism. The entire center and this beach are filled with construction works that have been going on for weeks. The sunset is very beautiful but that's about it. I was very disappointed to choose accommodation here.
Positive experience: It's a shame that there is often low tide.
Negative experience: Very beautiful beach but only if you want to sunbathe, to swim you need to be patient and bring plasters because for more than 10 meters there are sharp stones to avoid and they are very dangerous.
Negative experience: A beach where you can't swim, the water is full of rocks and the bottom is mud.
Positive experience: It's not to my taste because of the rocks, but otherwise it's a good beach.
Negative experience: Bad beach for being the capital. It’s good for sunbathing, but to swim it's like a muddy swamp, very slippery. There are many better beaches all over the island.
Positive experience: Great beach, unfortunately not safe for leaving the personal belongings and going to sea.
Positive experience: Nice sand calm water but I didn't enjoy the traffic noise in the background. Beach only a few feet from a busy road
Positive experience: Nice sandy beach, but rock shelves in the water that make it less appealing than it could be.
Fantastic experience: Nice local beach. Great for relax if you don't fancy spending hours in the bus to other beaches . You can go for a nice walk around the costs or run. The beach itself I'd sandy with an easy access into water. But I would definitely recommend to take water shoes. Lots of shop's and restaurants near by.
Negative experience: If you are looking for a beach where there's a lot of space and almost nobody around, this is definitely an option. However, it's really not pretty and it's also rather smelly. Plus, the street is just next to it so you also have the noise of the cars and a tall all-glass hotel adds some ugliness too.
Fantastic experience: This beach is very beautiful! The sand is nice and clean and there are no rocks, the water is also good and clear, you can see people doing different sports inside the water, you can also see some marine life on the rocks such as crabs. There are also many good restaurants opposite this beach, it is recommended to visit it

We didn't stay much longer as the wind keep on blowing the sand into our mat. Maybe bringing a personal beach bench is a better option. There's showers and road accessible for wheelchair. Beach is surrounded by buildings. Closed to city. No dogs area.
Positive experience: Shallow water with stones. Looks nice but not really swimmable
Positive experience: Very good beach with good shallow water and some palm trees. Also has showers and access for disabled people to get onto the beach and good into the sea. Close to restaurants and the city centre.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach in the city
Fantastic experience: Nice urban beach, always quiet. The only thing to take care - watch out to swim at high tide, otherwise you'll meet a lot of underwater rocks
Fantastic experience: A fabulous beach with easy swimming and no boats to worry about. Beds 3€ sunshade 2€ can't complain at that in Costa Teguise that were much dearer. Buy beach shoes for entering the water as it's very stoney after the sand.
Negative experience: Toilets closes on Sunday? They should take then the blue flag
Positive experience: For a beach in the city it's relatively quiet and clean.
