I spent 4 days in Caleta de Famara before Christmas with my boyfriend and will return soon. We are fairly good surfers but keen to learn techniques to take us to the next level. I was referred to Claudio by a german mate of mine and I have to say his teaching, personality and techniques were outstanding. He is a BSA level 5 instructor, speaks 4 different languages and he also coaches his 2 young sons who compete on the European circuit. He videoed us when we surfed using this high tech gadget and then we were able to sit with him and go through our performance - it was so great for our learning. I also really liked that we had a chance to have a real holiday. We did about 3 hours a day - again Claudio flexed with the tides so sometimes we went in the morning and other days in the pm. This meant we could have a lie in, sunbathe or see the island of lanzarote if we wanted to. The other schools there are a bit rigid with their timetables and you typically do about 6 hours per day.. but honestly this is too much and I much preferred Claudio's personal approach. I am going back with some work colleagues for a little team building in April and can't wait. Again because Claudio caters for all levels he can also teach my colleagues who have never surfed before. He really is a 5 star teacher and the proof is in his 2 sons who are slowly becoming international stars!

so expect strong winds but such beauty along the sandy beach that seems to stretch forever. The sand is natural and lovely to walk on. Plenty of surfers about and you may be lucky enough like us to see great displays from kite surfers.

This is a very popular beach for surfers with lots of outlets in the town offering equipment for sale, for hire and lessons as well. The beach is clean and there is lots of space to get away from the crowds which flock there in the sun. Further down the beach away from the twon is quieter and the dunes are slightly higher providing more protection from the prevailaing wind from the Atlantic.

This beach will put a smile on your face. Not the 7km as advertised but less than 4. Nevertheless it is a joy. Surfer schools frequent this place but they just create more things to entertain. The seascape is enormous and so so blue! Many parents with adorable toddlers. Not great for swimming. Caleta de Famara harbour is good for that with small beach or harbour side access.

Travelled here Jan 2020 to do some surfing with my 9 year old son (we’re not experts by any means!). Wave report said 2-3 feet but they were definitely a lot bigger. Lifeguards were on duty and some were giving tips to the beginners - they seemed friendly and helpful. As others have said it’s a windy place and not really for swimmers or young children but for surfing you couldn’t ask for more. The town has lots of surf shops to hire gear and some nice places to eat too.

I’m sure that if you are an experienced surfer this is a great beach. Seeing as there were loads of surfers all crowded on the access road it’s obviously very popular! To be fair the sea was obviously in so all we could see were rocks rather than sand and it is obviously a very dangerous place to swim. Guess we are spoilt living in Cornwall but personally didn’t think it worth a visit!

Famara Beach is a wonderful beach located next to Caleta de Famara, a little town in Lanzarote Island. It is a sand beach, where a lot of people surfs. Also, the place is surrounding with amazing cliffs, so you can see lovely views of the ocean and the land. It is a very beautiful place to walk, relax, bath, sunbath (as any beach), but you also enjoy a lot with views and surf. Also, the town (Caleta de Famara) is very well integrated on the sand. The best beach, I see in the island! Top!

We always look forward to walking along this stunning beach each time we tour the island. The sand is lovely and soft and there is plenty of room for everyone even when busy. Often windy, hence great for surfing. Plenty of bars for refreshments in the town. The backdrop of the cliffs makes it ideal for photos. Stay clear of the sand dunes at the far end unless you want an all over tan. Visit and you won't be disappointed.

One of the most dramatic and thrilling beaches a I’ve seen. Visually stunning even though it’s dangerous to swim when the wind is strong, making big waves. Great place for windsurfing if you’re into it, others can enjoy the views that could do as a scenery for sf movie.

This is the beloved beach of César Manrique's childhood. It's miles long and we walked for several kilometres before taking a footpath up into the cliffs for nice loop. There were lots of surfers and bathers, especially as the day wore on. The village and urbanisation are not oppressive. The site has kept its natural beauty.
