#16 FAMARA, LANZAROTE

We didn't knew it before, but there's a huge beach with a beach break on the rocky island of Lanzarote! North of the beautiful little village Valetta de Famara is a huge surfing spot, and even when there's a “no swell” forecast for the whole island you can catch some waves there! You'll find a nice left on the southern and a good right wave on the northern end of the bay. Both break on rocky to sandy ground. Between them there are many other peaks but you can't surf them that long, but that's the place for the surf schools and beginners. That gives the surfers more space and everyone is nice and chill.
The village itself is beautiful, laid back and authentic, beside the surfers there are no other tourists – our favourite spot on Lanzarote!
We use the easy left to get back the feeling for our boards. Even though the waves are only one metre high we have lots of fun, the beach and the weather are simply perfect! In the evening we corner a little with some cool beers and get excited to surf the spots of surfers paradise Fuerteventura.
