Lanzarote is one of the most popular islands for European holidaymakers, not just for the traditional summer weeks but for winter too, as the weather for the island – often in the 70’s even in December and January – make it the ideal destination for tourists from Northern Europe to head to to escape the winter blues.
And being able to relax on the beach and catch some rays over the Christmas and New Year festivities is enough in itself to tempt many to take a holiday in Lanzarote then.
But now a leading internet site has confirmed what many holidaymakers to Lanzarote already knew – that not only are the beaches great but one Lanzarote beach ranks among the best in the world.
The site points out that while Lanzarote is just a hundred miles off Africa, it is Spanish, and describe the locals as ‘passionate’. And of Lanzarote’s 90 beaches they say the best one, which ranks among the best in the world, is on the south of the island, at Caleta del Congrio, with an 87 per cent privacy rating.
They also suggest that those who like wind surfing should head for a different Lanzarote beach – the four mile long Famara Beach.
Other areas that were in the top beach list include Barbados, Turkey, Paros in Greece, Loreto in Mexico and Malibu in California.
World class beaches and water sports aren’t all that await Lanzarote tourists though. Puerto Del Carmen for example, which is one of the island’s most popular towns for holidaymakers, is a hub of excitement for many family activities.
And if the Lanzarote tourist is looking for a sports filled holiday rather than a family one, Puerto Del Carmen offers sports enthusiasts a wide range of activities. Locally owned diving shops often take tourists on amazing underwater adventures to various places around the island. Diving schools are available for those who wish to learn to dive or snorkel.
Windsurfing, swimming, boating, jet skiing and paragliding are also very popular water sports enjoyed by many locals and tourists. Sports enthusiasts also can enjoy golfing, cycling, running, hiking, camping and other local activities, including the Ironman competition.
Costa Teguise, another area favoured by tourists taking holidays in Lanzarote, is the smallest of the three large resorts on the island. It is about 6 miles northeast of the capital city Arrecife. The entire resort is built on former lava fields and saltpans. The resort consists of several apartment blocks, bungalows and villas. Primary attractions are the golf course, a marina, commercial shops and entertainment. Many visitors enjoy the water park in the outskirts of the resort.
Playa Blanca is a quieter area of the island, and often preferred by those who take villa holidays rather than hotel accommodation. Once a small fishing port, Playa Blanca is very popular with families due to its size and many family friendly beaches. Two more beaches were recently added to Playa Blanca to help make up for the lack of space on the main central beach. Along the well maintained and manicured streets there are several shops, restaurants and clubs. Lanzarote’s Playa Blanca offers many sports and attractions for tourists of all ages.
But above all, if Lanzarote should be a magnet for any particular type of tourist, it has to be the beach lover – there’s 90 to choose from including one of the best in the world!

It will give you all the info you need regarding events and locations.
Just go to the drop down box, titled ‘By Sport’, and it will pull up all of the events under that sport and give you the locations.
I’ve been skiing for a few years and I started to look at Oakleys… I was hoping to get a good mens pair for under $130, but i couldnt find ones that i liked.. do you have any recomondations?
EDIT: I live in an area where its cloudy 90% of the time and i night ski alot
Probably an O-Frame/A-frame,or Crowbar would be most economical. Go to Oakley.com and check to see if you are close to an Oakley vault store. These are their Outlet stores and they often have items on sale OR in the "DE" case. YOu can get goggles for $80 bucks or so. I snagged a pair of Wisoms for about $90.
Oakleyvault.com has the SnowCross O Frame for $29.00. Green, blue, or metallic red- all with Persimmon lens. Polarized Wisom- $139.00- free shipping for orders over $100.00; O-Frame Snow- $19.00; A Frame Snow- Carbon fiber/Persimmon lens. $89.00
Personally, I like Wisdoms as they offer a larger field of view. If you’re doing a lot of nightt skiing or it’s mostly cloudy, I would go with either a Persimmon lens, or a Hi-Intensity Yellow lens. These lenses are great in low to flat light and enhance contrast. The lights used in night skiing are notoriuos for producing a very flat light. These won’t work well in sunlight as they will be way too bright to use.
