About Shark Point Las Palmas
Shark Point Las Palmas is a boat-dived volcanic reef off Playa Blanca in Lanzarote. It has a low reef wall, sandy patches in front of the reef, and a drift-friendly layout that makes it easy to follow the reef line as the fish move through the area. Angel sharks are a highlight on the sand, while the wall can hold barracuda, bream, groupers, moray eels, and plenty of smaller reef life.

Local Intel For Shark Point Las Palmas
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Primary use case. The reef sits in the 18 m band and supports a low wall, ledges, and drift options when the tide and current line up. It is best treated as a guided boat dive rather than an independent shore session.
Freediving
Not the primary format here. The site is set up as a guided boat reef dive, so freediving is not the normal operating mode.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site. The interesting structure is underwater, and the site is planned as a boat reef dive.
