Puerto Del Carmen Holidays
Puerto Del Carmen is located on the southern coast of Lanzarote, and makes a great base from which to explore the island’s attractions. Fishing is a large local trade here, and as a result Puerto Del Carmen boasts a fine selection of seafood restaurants; in fact, it is something of a local delicacy. Other attractions in the town itself include extensive shopping facilities, and an exciting range of tapas bars, cafés and nightclubs.
Puerto Del Carmen boasts a fantastic, 6km stretch of sandy beach. Strict planning regulations have prevented the coastline from growing too urbanised, and so you’ll find plenty of great spots for swimming and sunbathing in peace. Thanks to a superb local climate, the Atlantic waters stay warm all year round – the beach has also been awarded a Blue Flag for cleanliness, by the EEC. You’ll be able to try your hand at any of a large number of water sports, while on a holiday in Puerto Del Carmen. Some of the more popular activities here include windsurfing and diving.
