Famara offers many amazing activities, most of these are on offer all year around but are better in either summer or winter. The surf in Famara is better in winter when the main swells track up the Atlantic ocean but waves are available all year round on the beach. Hang gliding in Lanzarote is best in Winter as the winds are ligther and cloudbase is regularly much higher with cleaner themals. Paragliding in Lanzarote again is best in Winter. Kitesurfing in Lanzarote is best in Summer, this is when the trade winds start to blow and famara beach offers a great mixture of wind and waves.

After a lovely day on the beach you can retire to you bungalow, have a BBQ on the terrace and watch the sunset, drink in hand at the end of a perfect day.
Famara is something of an alternative village, away from the tourist route.
The place with its small white houses dotted about in random fashion, lies in a wide, open landscape at the foot of mighty cliffs.
The roads in the village are mostly just sandy tracks and the beach is wild and left to nature. There is a complex of bungalows which climbs the slope which can be rented and make a fantastic holiday away fro it all. A northerly wind blows almost always, creating great waves for the happy surfer. Surfers come here to ride the world-class waves; the rest of us come to just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet….
