About Famara
Famara is a long sandy beach on the north-west coast of Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands, below a wall of high cliffs, with the small island of La Graciosa visible offshore. Waves break over sand along the length of the beach, and they are generally described as gentle at the southern end near the village of Caleta de Famara and stronger further along, which is why surf schools are based there and why the beach suits a wide range of surfers. Waves reach the Canaries through much of the year, and the best conditions usually arrive in the northern winter, typically from around October to March, when Atlantic swells travel down from the north. The weather stays mild through that season, and the beach is also widely used for kitesurfing and walking.
