Costa Teguise is one of the three main tourist resorts in Lanzarote. What was formerly mainly an area used for salt reclamation was turned into a purpose built tourist resort. The first hotels in the area were the Melia Salinas hotel and the Beatriz Hotel.

Costa Teguise Promenade:

From the Northern end of town all the way to the Spanish Kings house to the South there is a lovely water front promenade that passes seven beaches. The promenade has limited use just for walker and cyclists. The cyclists have their own cycle path market by painted lines.

As you stroll or cycle along the promenade you go past the commercial centre of town that starts near Jablillo beach and ends at Las Cucharas beach.

You will find the most shops, bars and restaurants adjacent to the promenade as you pass through Las Cucharas beach. The promenade ends about 500 meters after Los Charcos beach as you head North.

If you wish to keep exploring after the promenade ends you can continue on dirt tracks and paths that keep following the coast as far as you want to keep walking. Lanzarote has a costal tracks that continue from Costa Teguise all the way Orzola beach at the Northern tip of Lanzarote.

Los Ancones

This tiny little hamlet does not have a beach but you can swim from the rock. Find Los Ancones by driving or walking along the track that heads North along the coast from Costa Teguise.
There are just a few houses and some really good coastal walks. If you want swim there are a few places to enter the sea from the rocks but it’s not the easiest. Not suitable for families.

Most beautiful beaches in Costa Teguise:

Some of the beaches in Costa Teguise are so picturesque they almost take your breath away.

Jablillo beach

The prettiest picture postcard beach is Jablillo beach. This little bay has crystal clear blue water and some great snorkelling. Three sides of this very sheltered bay have sand and are good for sunbathing. Not only is it very beautiful but also very central with lots of parking adjacent.

Melia Salinas beach

Melias Salinas beach is a very pretty and off the beaten track only accessible by foot along the coast either from Las Cucharas beach or Los Charcos beach. This is a small golden sand beach just in front of the Melia Salinas Hotel. Originally it was purpose built when the Meilia Salinas hotel was constructed.

The golden sand was brought in by lorries and is still there in abundance today. To add character to the beach on the left side is a long sea wall that you can walk along and watch the wind surfers and wing foilers doing their thing just in front.

Los Charcos Beach

Los Charcos Car Park and beach

Los Charcos beach is best from mid to high tide. This is a lovely golden sand beach enclosed by two harbour walls. There is a car park right on the beach with grass and palm trees just adjacent. The beach comes alive around high tide when wing foilers and wind surfers launch from the beach and head out to sea.

Playa El Ancla

Heading South you will find the famous house owned by the King of Spain. Just in near the house is a small little by sheltered by sea walls. Playa El Ancla is very quiet and pretty. Not too much sand left these days but nice for a cooling swim and snorkel.

Las Caletas

On the Southern tip of Costa Teguise is a small hamlet called Las Caletas. Once here you can consider yourself outside the touristy hustle and bustle of central Costa Teguise.

Las Caletas has a few really nice local style restaurants. There is a small sandy beach with good access to the sea. The beach is located next to the desalination plant of Lanzarote so can feel a bit industrial.
