A favorite place on the island of Lanzarote for surfers and kite surfers. A huge sandy beach located at the foot of the Famara massif. It is especially beautiful at sunset.

The beach has no infrastructure, it is not for swimming.

We didn't just come here for a walk, we lived here for four days. There is a tourist village on the beach (Urbanización Famara). Most of the houses are owned by the rental company (https://www.bungalowsplayafamara.com/en/), but some can be rented privately as well, we rented a cabin almost near the beach (booking.com).

It is worth saying that it is very hard to maintain houses in this village, which are located within a few hundred meters of the shore. You can see it best from above, see the strip of fresh sand?

Literally overnight, the wind can bring so much sand that a car will not be able to pass. Therefore, a tractor regularly comes and cleans the roads.

Mountains of sand, more than a meter high, accumulate in the courtyard of the bungalows.

And the pools have to be covered with a roof.

And this is how the fence around the village looks like, or rather what is left of it.

Because of the sand, the villas on the first lines are not in the best condition from the outside. But this is not a problem if you only plan to live here on vacation. We liked the place very much.

Several films were shot on the beach, including One Million Years B.C. (1966).

And Broken Embraces (2009) by Pedro Almodovar. The film was not only shot on the beach, the main characters lived in one of the bungalows, literally next door to where we lived.

Inside the bungalows are the same, we had exactly the same room plan.
