|---|---|---|
| Famara | Teguise | surf |
| Caletón Blanco | Haría | scenery |
Famara
A strong choice for scenery and surf; do not assume the sea is safe for a casual swim.

Wind and sea conditions can matter more than the monthly air-temperature mean, especially on exposed beaches such as Famara.
Keep Famara for scenery or water sports and choose a more sheltered beach when you mainly want to swim.
