Playa Chica Beach in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote

Playa Chica Beach is a very calm and therefore a perfect beach for families and divers.

The Playa Chica beach is located very centrally in the former fishing village Puerto del Carmen. In high season it might not be very easy to find a parking space at the nearby car park, but you can park your car just around the corner in any of the streets nearby..

The beach is only about 100 meters long and with about 20 meters of width, located in a small cove.

It consists mainly of sand, only here and there are some stones to be seen. Since the bay is protected by large rocks, the sea is very quiet all year round, which is why the beach is particularly popular with families, but also with the elderly people. The water, as well as the beach are very clean.

Especially divers appreciate the underwater landscape of this beach, which the volcanic lava flows have developed over the centuries, which is aswell one of the most spectacular in Europe.
The diving school “Safari Diving” offers diving courses for beginners and advanced.
But also the snorkeling is the inhabitants of the sea face. Above the water surface, there is also an extensive range of water sports: thanks to “Paracraft” banana boat, Jet Ski or Crazy Ufo can be practiced.

Puerto del Carmen is one of the tourist harbors of the island, which is why there are numerous hotels and holiday apartments around the beach. Directly on the beach is a small kiosk, where ice and drinks can be purchased. There is also a restaurant called “Restaurante Bar Playa”, where fish and seafood lovers will feel particularly welcome.

The Playa Chica Beach is very popular due to its varied offer and undoubtedly belongs to the favourite tourist beaches of Lanzarote.

Playa de Guacimeta Beach in Playa Honda, Lanzarote

Playa de Guacimeta Beach or aswell named Playa de Tiburón is a beach directly at the runway for airplanes at the airport of Lanzarote.

You are separated from the airplane by a big fence and by the bikeway and footway that goes along the coastline from Arrecife to Puerto del Carmen.

The Beach is not very wide and not heavily frequented. But, although the location at the airport is not the typical one for a relaxed day, the beach has its advantages.

It is long, the surge of the waves is small and the drift of the ocean is not strong in the summer season.

The yellow sand moreover is very comfortable. Thus, you can the Playa de Guacimeta Beach is a beautiful beach for great pictures.

Dogs are welcome here as well and the coastline invites you for a walk.

When you turn around you can have an impressive view on landing or starting airplanes.

Important

Don’t be shocked about loud planes. You will take great photos.

Restaurante Maritoni in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote

It is not easy to find the right restaurant in the middle of the numerous restaurants at the Avenida de las Playas next to the beach in Puerto del Carmen.

A secret advice could be this: Restaurante Maritoni in Puerto del Carmen.

However, “secret” is perhaps the wrong term, because many guests visit this restaurant during their holidays several times. Even if the restaurant does not stand out from the crowd due to a huge illuminated sign or a huge sun terrace, you will soon realise that you are right. Many guests are in and in front of the small room. Thus, you may have to wait some minutes for a table. But it is definitely worth it.

If the bar of Restaurante Maritoni is already filled with waiting guests, you can go a few doors further in the bar called Sea View to have beer, wine or something similar. In both locations the spanish team of Toni welcomes you. They all speak english perfectly and also a little bit of german. When your table is ready, they will keep you up from Sea View Bar.

The restaurant Maritoni has existed since the early 1990er. That is special in this street of so many restaurants.

You will find a traditional spanish cuisine that serves you fresh fish, several meals of beef, pig or chicken as well as veggetarian dishes.

If you are not sure about the taste of the dishes, then certainly the fair value for money will convince you.

Or the location at the beach promenade in Puerto del Carmen on Lanzarote.

Important

You may have to walk a bit to reach the restaurant Maritoni because it is not easy to get a parking close to it. But the walk will also helpful afterwards because don’t think that the portions are small…

No reservations! Just pass by

Restaurant Casa Tere in Playa Honda, Lanzarote

The Restaurant Casa Tere is one of the oldest in Playa Honda. The traditional spanish cuisine has seen the development of the town Playa Honda from an unappealing living area next to the airport of Lanzarote to an attraction for spanish residents and tourists.

Along the coastal promenade from the airport to Arrecife more and more Restaurants have settled over the last decades. The founders of Casa Tere were one of the first who did so.

Beside the large beaches of Playa Honda restaurants like the traditional Casa Tere have attracted more and more people to walk along the coastal promenade, to bike, to swim, to relax, to have a rest or to enjoy a delicious meal.

The menu of Casa Tere offers you a variety of traditional spanish food. Meat and fresh fish are common here. It does not matter, wheather you want to have a lunch, a snack or a diner. The menu that offers cold and hot, small and large main courses as well as many starters respectively tapas to share will statisfy you. Seafood, ham or queso or the potatoes, which are typical for the Canary Ilands, will taste very well when you are sitting rightly beside the sea. Also the famous white wine from Lanzarote is served at Casa Tere. Certainly, you can finish your meal with a dessert.

Then, you should not miss to try the tasteful barraquito at Restaurant Casa Tere in Playa Honda …

Important

You can park your car not far away in the streets next to the coastal promenade and reach the restaurant after a short walk along at the sea.

Restaurant El Chupadero in the Vineyard La Geria on Lanzarote

This is for me an absolute must go when passing through the winegrowing area La Geria. El Chupadero has been here for many years and celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2016. It has seen the good and the not so good times in these magical surroundings. Having yet not being connected to the electricity network by the electricity supplier, the landlady, Barbara Hendriks, has created a very special ambience. The Full Moon Parties which used to take place here have achieved legendary status. Creative events like concerts with unusal musicians, dinners with classical music and cool DJ House Party have now been added to the program. But you shouldn’t miss a daytime visit either. The view from the terrace across the volcanic mountains as far as Timanfaya National Parc is amazing and should not be missed. Typical tapas are prepared fresh everyday and are served beautifully.

You can try a great range of the wines of the region. If you are looking for a pristine place on this island, then the El Chupadero is surely an enriching experience. This is a place of calm and serenity, away from the million investments of the neighbouring Stratus and Rubicón bodegas. If you want to make sure that a coach full of tourists does not cross your path, then this is the right place as tour groups are not accepted here. You might find that other bodegas along the wine road between Uga and San Bartolomé suddenly get very noisy and overcrowded by a group of tourists. This will not happen here.

Important

Important to reserve a table on days of event.

Look out for extra events. Very good live music events, usually once a week. Also very famous for legendary Full-Moon-Parties.

If you like the ambiance of the spot, you can ask Barbara the owner also for private arrangements as weddings and birthdays.

Opening hours

Monday: closed
TUE-SUN: 12:00 h – 23:00 h
