Everything you should know before you book
Lanzarote's volcanic coastline and steady Atlantic swell make it one of Europe's most reliable surf and dive bases. Famara's long beach is a classic learner's wave, with surf lessons and multi-hour clinics for all levels. Below the surface, scuba courses introduce first-timers to the warm, clear water, while certified divers can explore Jason deCaires Taylor's Museo Atlántico, Europe's first underwater sculpture museum.
Beginners are well catered for here. Surf schools provide boards and wetsuits and pick calm beach breaks for first lessons; intro scuba courses cover the basics before a guided shallow dive. The water is mild year-round, so a wetsuit makes any season comfortable.
Frequently asked questions
Is Lanzarote good for beginner surfers?
Yes — Famara beach has gentle, consistent waves ideal for learning, and surf schools supply boards and wetsuits with lessons for complete beginners.
Can non-divers visit the Museo Atlántico?
The sculptures sit 12–15 metres down, so you need a diving certification to see them in person. Intro scuba courses are a separate option for first-timers elsewhere on the coast.
Do you need experience to try scuba diving?
No — beginner courses start in shallow water with an instructor and cover everything you need before a supervised first dive.
