Caleta de Famara, on Lanzarote's northwest coast, is a charming village nestled beneath cliffs with views of La Graciosa Island. It boasts the largest and most spectacular beach on the island, Playa de Famara, known for its golden sand and strong waves. This beach is a haven for surfers and offers breathtaking landscapes, especially at sunset. While swimming is not recommended due to strong currents, it is ideal for water sports enthusiasts and those seeking serene nature walks.
The village itself is a quaint fisherman's town that has evolved into a hub for tourism. It features small white houses and distinctive green and blue carpentry, maintaining a historic charm while offering modern amenities.
The area's culture and economy have been shaped by its fishing heritage and more recently by its surfing and tourism activities.
