Fantastic experience: Long beach, large free parking nearby. Not too crowded (November). Unfortunately, the toilets in the area are out of order.
Positive experience: Nice sandy beach with calm waves. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Our two year old loved building sandcastles and paddling in the waves.
Positive experience: Beautiful urban beach in Teguise. It has all amenities and a long promenade. It is usually quite windy, so it's advisable to stay close to the breakwater.
Fantastic experience: Sheltered from the wind, white sand, calm ocean, warm water, showers on the beach to rinse off, easy parking 5 minutes away. What a delight!
Positive experience: Beautiful, very busy beach that allows access to water sports. It is the center of Costa Teguise surrounded by restaurants and hotels, making it a lively place.

Negative experience: Abandoned vegetation, little cleanliness in public areas, the bathrooms are disastrous, dirty, the taps don’t work, the doors don’t close (without locks) and there’s no light where the toilets are. But yes, they close at 5:30 even if it's full of tourists.
Positive experience: A nice beach. There are a few windsurf shops nearby and it is always windy, so if you are into this sport, it is going to be heaven for you. The water is nice and clear altough packed with volcanic rocks.

Fantastic experience: Located in Costa Teguise, Lanzarote, Playa de las Cucharas boasts pristine sand and clear waters that make it a standout destination for beachgoers. The cleanliness of this beach is impressive, with regular maintenance ensuring a litter-free environment. Safety is a top priority, with lifeguards on duty and calm waters making it ideal for families and swimmers. Whether you’re sunbathing, windsurfing, or just taking a leisurely stroll, Playa de las Cucharas offers a wonderfully clean and safe experience for all visitors.
Positive experience: A not too long sandy beach. At low tide, it is very wide and you have to walk a few steps further to the water. Occasionally, lifeguards are on site. Shortly after 10 a.m., the flag is raised: green, yellow, or red. Surroundings: many bars and restaurants. Loungers and sunshades can also be rented. The constant 'hawkers' who sometimes try to push everything from sunglasses to massages on you are really annoying. (Mallorca had already put a stop to that a few years ago. Maybe it will happen here too.)
Fantastic experience: Estupenda playa, limpia, con socorristas,apta para el baño, es de arena blanca muy fina,al lado mismo hay bares y restaurantes y tiendas para comprar.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful and quiet beach in Costa Teguise. It's sandy with rare rocks. Safe for your children, few waves, but always windy. There are few seaweed in the water but you can have a shower. The sun is high and strong, don't forget your sunscreen! You can do windsurfing, with a teaching coach. There are several umbrellas and sunbeds, about 15 euros per day (one umbrella and two sunbeds). During the worst hours of sun you can reach bars, restaurants and shops all around. ☀️️

Positive experience: Schöner, großer Strand, der nicht zu überlaufen ist. Duschen und Toiletten sind vorhanden. Bars & Restaurants sind direkt an der Strandpromenade. Allerdings zum Schnorcheln leider nicht so gut geeignet, daher ein Punkt Abzug.

Negative experience: Probably one of the dirtiest beaches on the island! A cigarette butt every 2 meters not to mention the various litter on the beach (plastic packaging, broken toys). It's a shame because this is also where the water is the warmest. A little effort from tourists to pick up the trash would be welcome....
Fantastic experience: Hermosa playa de Costa Teguise a 15 minutos en coche desde pleno arrecife centro, viento para hacer deportes con windsurfish o sky además de disfrutar de su paraíso soleado y emblemático, también puedes encontrar diversidades de restaurantes y comidas grandes hoteles recomendable para vivir tranquilo y recomendable también para unas buenas vacaciones encontrándose cerca del pueblo marinero una un antiguo pueblo con restaurantes y casas del siglo pasado
Fantastic experience: Spiaggia molto ampia, con diversi stabilimenti che offrono lettini ed ombrelloni con teli che riparano dal vento. A far da contorno una bella passeggiata sul lungomare con molti locali
Positive experience: Playa pequeña y tranquila, situada al lado del paseo marítimo. Hay varias tiendas en el entorno (alquiler de bicis, actividades, recuerdos...) y también diversas opciones de comida. Tiene un aparcamiento bastante amplio frente al hotel H10

Positive experience: The truth is that at this beach, it wasn't bad at all. There's not much to it. (Scenically speaking) but it's quiet, despite the countless families. The wind doesn't wreak as much havoc as it has in others we've been to. And there are little terraces where you can have a drink or snack and showers... From which not much water came out... I imagine there was a reason.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful
Positive experience: Comfortable, fast, broken post
Fantastic experience: Las Cucharas Beach is simply beautiful! With crystal clear waters and golden sands, it is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun.

Fantastic experience: The best beach in Costa Teguise!
Positive experience: Main beach in Costa Teguise, soft golden sand and safely swimmable with life guards present from about 10am.

Paseo Maritimo, the long promenade curves around its entirely.
