What to see in Lanzarote?

The island of Lanzarote covers an area of 845 kilometres squared and has a multitude of beaches and small coves. This means that knowing where to start can be a daunting task. Therefore, we have compiled our recommendations to help inspire your yacht hire in Lanzarote.

When it comes to finding the right beach, our first choice is to head to the west of Lanzarote. Here, you will find Famara or Janubio Beach, ideal for surfers. For more water sports, you can also head to the southeast of the island towards Playa Chica or Playa Quemada. These beautiful beaches are popular amongst locals and tourists alike for sports such as water skiing, snorkelling and scuba diving. If you want to live a unique experience head further south of Lanzarote, almost at the tip, where there is a curiosity that catches the attention of many: the only underwater museum in Europe created by Jason de Caires Taylor. Here, you can dive among the 300 eerily realistic sculptures about 12 to 15 metres underwater. What you'll see are sculptures that reflect deeply on different aspects of society, seeking to awaken the diver's social conscience.

If you want to disembark from your yacht hire, here are our top suggestions:

• Visit the volcanic caves of Jameos del Agua and the caves of Los Verdes (considered to be the longest lava tunnel in the world).
• Visit the picturesque fishing village of Punta Mujeres.
• Visit the cactus garden, which houses more than 4000 specimens of the most diverse species brought from all over the world.
• Visit the Janubio Salt Flats.
• Visit the Timanfaya National Park, a great chain of volcanoes that will surely impress you.
• Visit the Charco de los Clicos, this impressive lagoon of an intense green colour is located inside a beach of black volcanic sand.
