About Playa Flamingo
Playa Flamingo is a sheltered Lanzarote shore dive in Playa Blanca, worked from the public beach inside a calm man-made bay. The route starts shallow and follows a short wall and breakwater edge where schools of fish, rays, angel sharks, morays, and other Atlantic life collect, making it a simple, relaxed site for divers who want easy access, clear water, and a lot happening close to shore.
