Surf

Lanzarote is well known as a winter sun destination and popular with anyone looking to escape the gloom of the British winter. It's proved to be especially popular with our guests, who regularly return with us to sample the island's consistent surf and warm water. Exposed to the Atlantic, our beach has surf all year round and the waves break over a forgiving sandy bottom, unlike most surf spots in the Canaries. We have been organising holidays to this beach since 1997 and consider the surf ideal for beginners and intermediates with a variety of waves and wonderfully clear water.

Location

Our base is Playa de Famara, a spectacular four mile bay hidden away on the uncrowded north west coast of Lanzarote. Famara is a sleepy fishing village peppered with local restaurants and low-key bars well away from the large resorts. The island is situated off the coast of North Africa and is only a four hour flight from the UK. Lanzarote is renowned for its dry warm climate and its dramatic landscape, a legacy of its volcanic history.

Accommodation

The accommodation consists of self catering apartments located in the village of Caleta de Famara. The appeal of these basic and clean apartments lies in their proximity to the beach and their local flavour - a refreshing change from typical resort accommodation. They are fully self-contained and if you are travelling alone, as many do, we will team you up with others to share.

Other Activities

Dramatic volcanic landscape, Picturesque fishing villages, Windsurfing / Kitesurfing.

Tuition

Playa de Famara is a fantastic location to learn to surf or improve your skills. Two tuition options are available and are included within the cost of the holiday:

Option 1: Coaching with BSA qualified instructors every morning of your holiday with the opportunity to freesurf in the afternoons - ideal if you are taking your own equipment and are looking to improve.
