One of Lanzarote's best beaches
Playa de Famara is one of the best beaches on the island of Lanzarote, and it's especially good because you can get there on public transportation (no small feat on Lanzarote!). The city beaches on the Canary Islands are pleasant, but you still can't escape the feeling of being in the city surrounded by tourists and hotels. Well, check with the front desk at your hotel and ask for the bus to Caleta de Famara, a small, sleepy surfing village towards the north of the island.
When you arrive, you'll find an absolutely massive beach which runs along a curved bay and offers stunning views of the hulking seaside cliffs, the white-washed village of Farmara and the wind-whipped surf which has made this beach so popular among surfers.
