How do I get to La Graciosa?
The regular access is by boat between Órzola on Lanzarote and Caleta de Sebo on La Graciosa. The official protection regulations expressly name these two ports as the main access points.
Timetables, crossing times and prices vary by operator and season. For reliable travel planning, current fares and departures must be checked directly with the licensed ferry company concerned. The available sources contain no verified price level for 2026.
For 2025, Líneas Romero quoted the following standard prices: adults without Canarian residence 15 euros single. Children under twelve paid 8 euros or 15 euros. For Canarian residents, the fares were 3.75 euros or 7 euros for adults and 2 euros or 3.75 euros for children.
Ferry prices should be checked again before booking, as the operator updates its fares. The crossing is therefore the main fixed cost of a day trip. Bicycle, taxi, restaurant and accommodation prices vary by provider and season.
What sights are there on La Graciosa?
Caleta de Sebo is the main settlement and port of the island. It is the starting point for regular access to the natural park. The village is also the island's only supply point.
The natural park plan identifies Playa del Salado and Playa de San Juan as the two expressly designated camping zones. Both beaches lie away from the main settlement and require enough time for the journey there and back.
The Faro de Alegranza is on the uninhabited island of Alegranza in the Chinijo Archipelago. Access to Alegranza is subject to a separate restriction.
The protected area includes other islets and rocks besides La Graciosa. Access to these areas is subject to the natural park's protection rules in each case. The official sources do not confirm any uniform entrance fees or visitor centre opening times for La Graciosa itself.
What rules apply in the natural park?
Camping is generally prohibited, except in the areas designated in the natural park plan at Playa del Salado and Playa de San Juan.
Only authorised motor vehicles and bicycles may use the designated paths. Walking off the paths is discouraged or restricted because of erosion and sensitive vegetation.
Fires, littering, noisy activities and the use of soap on beaches are prohibited or expressly to be avoided. Shellfish, limpets, sea snails, octopus and other marine animals must not be collected.
Professional tourist activities in the natural park require authorisation from the competent environmental authority. According to official application information, no public fee is charged for applying for and issuing this authorisation.
What applies in the marine reserve?
Around La Graciosa and the islets north of Lanzarote there is a Reserva marina de interés pesquero, a marine reserve of fishing interest.
Fishing and the removal of living species are prohibited there. Access is generally permitted only for expressly authorised scientific purposes. Simply passing through the strictly protected zone is allowed under careful, slow navigation.
Anchoring, drifting, unnecessary noise and light sources are prohibited there, except in emergencies. Outside the strictest protection zone, marine fishing is generally prohibited, apart from the exceptions laid down by law.
Recreational fishing from a boat requires authorisation and is subject to annual procedures and conditions. Scuba diving in the marine reserve outside the strictest zone requires express authorisation. Divers must not carry equipment for fishing or for removing marine animals.
What should visitors bear in mind practically?
There are no springs on the island. The only supply point is Caleta de Sebo. Visitors should take enough water and food with them before setting off to more remote beaches.
Heat, long distances and unpaved terrain require sturdy footwear, sun protection and realistic time planning. There is no regular beach lifeguard service there. Some beaches can be dangerous when there is swell.
Anyone who does not want to walk all day can hire a bicycle or use a licensed island taxi service. The official information names bicycles and taxis as suitable ways to explore the island away from the village.
Bicycles may only be ridden on the permitted routes, which are also used by pedestrians and vehicles. Cross-country riding or blocking paths is not allowed. For shorter stays, a walk starting from Caleta de Sebo is sufficient.
What is new or currently relevant in 2026?
The available official results contain no confirmed new tourist attraction or price change for La Graciosa in 2026. However, a project for wastewater treatment and purification on La Graciosa is documented as a current infrastructure development.
Planning conditions have been created for this in the Llano de La Mareta areas, along the Caleta de Sebo–Llano de La Mareta link and near the settlement area. The sources do not give a specific completion date.
For overnight stays, regular accommodation in Caleta de Sebo or the authorised campsite are options. Wild camping is not a permitted alternative. The most reliable permanently valid facts are access, protection status, areas requiring authorisation, camping zones and the rules in the marine reserve.
