A beach in a small Spanish island has a prominent gain in summer, especially for the combination of clear sand, transparent waters and volcanic framing. The place maintains low tourist pressure and a preserved natural environment, something that can justify the experience of tranquility that many seek.
La Cocina Beach is located in the south of La Graciosa Island, in the Canaries, and is also known as Montaña Amarilla Beach. Pointed by the Spanish newspaper La Razon as one of the most protected Areas in the archipelago, it has more than 100 meters long and light tone sand. The scenario is marked by the Volcanic Cone of Montaña Amarilla, which forms a protected cove of the Atlantic.
Landscape characteristics
The geological environment is decisive. The slopes exhibit ocres, yellow sulfur and metallic reflexes that contrast with turquoise blue and emerald green of the sea. Natural relief protection provides calm waters next to the margin, offering conducive conditions for baths and observation of the marine background on days of good visibility.
Services and conditions on site
Mobile network coverage is limited and there are no beach supports, bars, salvator swimmers or Wi-Fi access. This is an essentially natural space without infrastructure, where the preservation of the environment prevails over convenience. This absence of services contributes to maintaining the low density of visitors throughout the day.
Recommended activities
The cove is sought for snorkelling activities, taking advantage of water transparency and submerged rock formations. In the late afternoon, the sunset behind the north coast of Lanzarote composes an intense chromatic picture on the horizon, with orange and purplish tones, highly valued by those who photograph coastal landscapes.
Access is on foot or by sea. According to the above source, it is not allowed to arrive by automobile; On bike only to French beach, the last 10–15 minutes are on foot. Starting from Caleta de Sebo, the island capital, the pedestrian route is about 6 kilometers, which corresponds, on average, 90 minutes of walking under the sun of La Graciosa. There is a shorter alternative from La French beach, implying approximately 15 minutes walk, guided by the Montaña Amarilla silhouette.

For those who want to gain perspective, there is a possibility of ascending to the summit of Montaña Amarilla where, the climb accumulates more than 130 meters of unevenness in less than one kilometer, and is not suitable for beginners. In contrast, the view reaches the Chinijo archipelago, reinforcing the perception of the island’s geological and coastal context.
La Cocina beach thus remains as a natural interest where experience depends on self-sufficiency and respect for the surrounding space. The choice of route and the preparation for the walk remains decisive factors to enjoy safely. In the background, it is a preserved corner of La Graciosa island whose recent notoriety was underlined by.
