Adventure sport that combines the sensations of wind and surf. In Lanzarote favorable climate conditions can be found on the beaches of Famara, in the northwest of the island, and Guacimeta, in the east. Initiation in this sport is not difficult, but it is advisable to do it under the guide of a qualified tutor to guarantee one’s own safety while practicing the sport. There are several schools on the island that offer beginner’s courses.
Lanzarote is known in the surfing world because of the waves in La Santa and El Quemao in the northwest part of the island. Other very favorable coves for surfing are Montaña Amarilla, Playa Francesa, El Corral and La Alhambra on the island of La Graciosa (to the north of Lanzarote), the beach under the cliffs of Famara, San Juan and the Muelle de Famara.

There is no price to swimming next to a grouper, accompanying a yellowtail, watching the somniferous movement of rays or gazing at the explosion of colors of the vegetation, seahorses and sea stars.

The best areas for windsurfing can be found in Jameos (Punta Mujeres, in the northwest of the island), the beaches of Las Cucharas and Los Charcos of Costa Teguise (in the east center of Lanzarote) and the Guacimeta beach of Playa Honda (also in the east center of the island). The strong winds that are predominant in these places guarantee a dynamic and attractive windsurfing session.
