Holidays to Puerto del Carmen put beaches and watersports at the top of the agenda. Plus, it's got a night scene that sizzles.
Lanzarote’s mover and shaker
A party animal’s paradise, Puerto del Carmen serves up the whole nightlife kit and caboodle, from karaoke bars to cocktail lounges, and everything in between. Avenida de las Playas is the head honcho – it’s lined with bars and clubs, and links the town to Arrecife and Playa Honda next door. There are no less than 40 Irish pubs, too.
Scuba central
With warm waters and top-notch visibility, Lanzarote pips the rest of the Canray Islands to the post when it comes to scuba diving. In Puerto del Carmen, a spot on the southern coast means the sea is sheltered and calm, and there’s heaps to see below the surface. Underneath the waves, you’ll find a rainbow of colour, as well as impressive rock formations, like La Catedral.
