Yaiza Ayuntamiento has temporarily closed the small beach at Playa Blanca after a sewage discharge was reported on Tuesday morning.
The council has asked residents and visitors to respect the red flag and use other beaches in the south of Lanzarote while water quality tests are carried out.
The temporary closure will remain in place until the results of laboratory tests by Public Health indicate that the water is safe for swimming.
Yaiza Ayuntamiento has notified the Lanzarote Water Consortium of the malfunction detected at the pumping station near the beach.
The council said it will provide an update when Playa Blanca beach reopens to the public.
