Papagayo Beach
This is the most famous beach of Punta del Papagayo. It is protected by the cliffs so the wind is very calm, ideal for rest and relaxation. Due to its characteristics, it is a fabulous place for snorkelling.
Famara Beach
It is one of the longest beaches you will find on the island with more than 5 km of extension. It is a paradise for surfers looking for the best waves. It offers a special and different atmosphere to the rest of the beaches on the island with its immense Famara Crag, which projects into the sea like a protective shield.
El Ancla Beach
This is a beach where the conditions are perfect for snorkelling and refreshing dives. Because of its golden sands and crystal clear waters, it is the meeting point for many tourists who come in search of fun and enjoyment.
Janubio Beach
This is a wild beach with dark sand of volcanic origin. This beach is not suitable for bathing as it has strong currents.
Honda Beach
This is a semi-urban beach that receives many visitors all year round.
Charco de los Clicos
You will be surprised by the landscape you will see here and the contrasting colours of the landscape. It is a beach of red and black sands that combine with the turquoise waters of the sea. In addition, you’ll find a few lagoons of radiant green that are here to add even more life to the colourful landscape.
Los Hervideros
What a peculiar name for a place, but it suits it very well as it is a site of many craters and caves of volcanic origin. But don’t think it’s difficult to walk through, a special path has been prepared so that everyone can walk through it and enjoy such a geological wonder.
Jameos del Agua
This is one of the visits most enjoyed by tourists. We are talking about the 5 millennia old volcanic tube known as the Cueva de los verdes with many galleries and caves inside. Inside there is a jameo, this is an area of the tube whose roof has been detached. In this in turn, a beautiful lake was formed in which live some cute little albino crabs that are unique in the world. Here you can contemplate the way in which the architect César Manrique managed to add, with his works of art, more beauty to what nature had created.
Timanfaya National Park
This is a park with unique characteristics that make it one of the most famous in the whole of Spain. Visit it by bus or hiking through its spectacular trails.
