Playa Honda: Coast, Water Sports and Festivals in Lanzarote

Playa Honda stretches for almost two kilometres along a long seafront promenade. The nearby Playa de Guacimeta is connected to the town of Playa Honda to the north via the Playa Honda promenade. From there, arriving aircraft can be watched; all year round and without any time restrictions, Playa de Guacimeta also has a designated area for pets. Observation, exercise and events can be compared as different themes when planning a trip.

Coast and Water

Windsurfing takes place at Playa Honda in summer. There is an open-water swimming course near “Loro Verde” in Playa Honda. The course is marked by three buoys forming a triangle with a route length of approximately 750 metres. The location of Playa Honda’s open-water swimming course hosts many training sessions for professional open-water swimmers. For planning your own day, the water-based activities can be compared by season, type of activity and route length.
