El Ancla, located in the southern part of Costa Teguise, Lanzarote, is a serene and secluded cove-type beach. It is also known as Playa del Rey due to its proximity to a nearby royal property. The beach offers clear and calm waters, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Despite the limited sand, there are areas of flat rocks available for sunbathing. Accessibility to the sea requires caution as it involves navigating over rocks. A paved seafront promenade connects the beach to the center of Costa Teguise, and nearby amenities include shops and restaurants.
The beach's tranquil atmosphere and sheltered bay create a safe environment, protected by two rocky sea walls and underwater rocks at the bay mouth. The proximity to luxury accommodations, like those owned by royalty, adds allure to this lesser-known beach.
For those seeking a peaceful retreat, El Ancla offers a picturesque setting with a mix of natural beauty and nearby urban conveniences.
