Famara, Golden sand and shingle beach in Teguise, Spain.
Famara is a beach on the northern coast of Lanzarote featuring both sandy sections and pebbled areas that extend for about 2800 meters. The shoreline varies in width and offers different zones suited to swimming, surfing, and relaxation.
The beach lies within Teguise, Lanzarote's oldest town, which has a long history of connection to the sea. Over centuries, this coastal area served as an important location for fishing and maritime activities.
The beach attracts surfers and water sports enthusiasts from around the world, creating a laid-back community dedicated to ocean activities. This connection to surfing shapes how the place feels and who gathers here regularly.
