Places of interest: Famara

The Beach and Caleta de Famara form a natural paradise that attracts tourists and locals alike, offering a unique and wild experience. Located on the northwest coast of the island, Famara Beach extends along almost six kilometers of fine golden sand, with the majestic Famara cliff as a backdrop.

This impressive cliff, rising abruptly from the sea, offers a spectacular visual contrast and creates an almost mystical atmosphere, especially during sunset, when warm colors bathe the landscape. Famara is known for its relaxed and bohemian atmosphere, being an ideal place for surfing and kitesurfing lovers. Thanks to the constant trade winds and quality waves, the beach has become a reference point for water sports in Lanzarote. Surf schools and specialized shops dot the small town of Caleta de Famara, which has managed to maintain its authenticity, far from mass tourism.

Fisherman’s huts, small bars and restaurants, and dirt streets contribute to the place’s carefree and peaceful atmosphere. In addition to its attractions for athletes, Famara beach is perfect for those looking to disconnect and enjoy nature in its purest form. Walking along its extensive shore, with the sea breeze on your face and the sound of the waves crashing, is a deeply relaxing experience. The sand dunes and coastal vegetation also add a wild touch to the landscape, and it is common to see families, couples and solo travelers enjoying the surroundings in an atmosphere of peace and serenity.

If you are in Costa Teguise, getting to Famara beach is relatively easy. The car journey takes about 25-30 minutes, and is the fastest and most comfortable way to get there. From Costa Teguise, you must take the LZ-10 highway in the direction of Teguise, the former capital of the island. Upon arriving in Teguise, follow the signs to Famara on the LZ-30 road, which will take you directly to the beach and cove. The tour is an opportunity to enjoy the typical volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, with its rock formations and ocher colors. Public transport by bus is infrequent between Costa Teguise and Famara, so renting a car or taking a taxi are the best options if you do not have your own vehicle.

Famara is a must-see destination for those looking to combine nature, water sports and tranquility in Lanzarote, and is easily accessible from Costa Teguise, making it a perfect excursion to enjoy the untamed beauty of the island.
