Caleta de Famara is a small fishing village privileged by nature and just a few meters from the sea. Located away from mass tourism, surrounded by the marvellous 700 mts high Risco de Famara. The wind surfing & surfing lesson are taught on the 6km long beach break of Playa de Famara. The conditions here could not be more ideal to enable beginners to enjoy this fantastic sport!
- Accommodation / Facilities - - The apartments and bungalows are located in Famara’s natural park just 100 meters from one of the most paradisiacal beaches in Lanzarote, there are no Hotels or resorts here. All the buildings are small (2 stories up max)… There are several restaurants, 1 Hamburger house, 1 croisanterie, supermarkets, surf shops… and lots of waves. There are no pharmacies, banks or cash machines... So we advise you to bring cash and if you are travelling with children carry a small medicine kit. The nearest pharmacy or clinic is a 10 minute drive away. The best way to get around the island is by car - Holiday Autos.
- Nightlife - The nightlife in Lanzarote offers you various possibilities. Sure you can have a meal and chill out with a beer after a gruelling windsurfing session in the villages, but why not head into town to party. Here's a quick rundown of what's on offer:
- Frama - Stay in the village and work your way through the tapas bars, restaurants and surf style beach parties.
- Don't miss every Friday live music at La Bartola and a night out at LAGOMAR... you will not forget it.
- For good snacks, tapas and fast food try HAMBURGUESARIA FAMARA with it's internationally renown FAMARA BURGER.
- Puerto del Carmen - A short drive across the island (30 min. approx.) takes you to Lanzarote's answer to Las Vegas which is one long strip of busy bars and clubs mainly frequented by tourists:-)
- Arrecife - If you fancy sampling the local culture then head to the capital of Lanzarote and party with the locals. Live Spanish music and relaxed atmosphere. If you time it right you may get to experience a Carnaval when the whole island stops to party!

Public buses on the island are called guaguas - pronounced ‘wah-wah.'
