Puddles Beach
It is next to Las Cucharas but it is different because of its white sands. It has all the services for the enjoyment of bathers and has the perfect conditions for surfing.
Jabillo Beach

Places to visit
In addition to enjoying the beach and sports in Costa Teguise, we recommend you visit the following attractions in the town with high tourist demand:
Aquarium Lanzarote
A must if you want to see sharks. Located in the centre of the coast of Teguise, it is a small place but inside you will see all kinds of marine species dancing and waiting for visitors to do some funny somersaults. There are also some interactive aquariums where you can get in touch with some of the species.
One of the attractions worth mentioning is the trash aquarium, a recreation in which you will see the current state of many beaches as a result of the irresponsibility of its visitors. This attraction is designed to touch people’s conscience and to try to stop the pollution of our natural spaces. These, in turn, are home to thousands of defenceless and vulnerable species.
Aquapark Costa Teguise
If you continue towards town you will come to the aquapark, a super fun place especially for the little ones.
The park is located west of Las Cucharas beach. It has slides and fabulous pools to have a lot of fun. It also has tracks for racing and having the time of your life. There is something for everyone, from giant spiral slides for the brave ones to small ball pools for the little ones.
There is also a 10D cinema with sensory elements that will make you feel part of the movie. Enjoy the delicious dishes that you will find in the restaurant, which offers a wide variety of Canarian and international cuisine.
Curiosities of Costa Teguise
Locals still refer to this enclave as Rio Tinto, because this was the name of the first company that built the first tourist complex in the area, back in the 1960s.
Before it became a beautiful resort, it was a large field. It was made up of extensive pasture regions dedicated to cattle farming. There were also wheat and barley fields and some remains of aboriginal pottery were found on the land.
