Puerto del Carmen is one of the most popular holiday resorts in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, located just 10 minutes from Arrecife Airport on the island’s southeast coast. Originally a small fishing village, it has grown into a lively yet relaxed destination known for its long sandy beaches, clear Atlantic waters, and a wide choice of hotels, apartments, restaurants, bars and local experiences.
The resort stretches along the scenic Avenida de las Playas, offering easy access to beaches such as Playa Grande, Playa Chica and Playa de los Pocillos, as well as boat trips, diving, coastal walks and family-friendly attractions. With year-round sunshine, excellent transport links and a mix of traditional Canarian charm and modern tourism infrastructure, Puerto del Carmen is an ideal base for exploring Lanzarote’s volcanoes, wineries, villages and cultural sites.

The town is spotlessly clean both the roads and beach, which is huge and I would imagine it's quite busy in the summer.
Like any good beach side town it has a promenade to walk along with plenty of bars and restaurants to pop in to including the obligatory Irish bar.
The promenade is flat and perfect for all ages and those requiring assistance.
