Playa de Muelle de la Pescadería is situated in Arrecife on Lanzarote. Its seabed consists of stones, and the register does not list any other bathing area in the Canary Islands with this characteristic. Measuring approximately 46 metres in length and around 3 metres in width, it is one of the shortest bathing areas on Lanzarote. Motorboats, sailing, kayaking and canoeing are reported in this area.
