Costa Teguise is a seaside resort town on the eastern coast of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. It might be small, but it's well-developed and popular with families. Most of the action takes place around its main beach of Las Cucharas, with good wave conditions throughout the year that makes it a popular playground for surfers and windsurfers. 

Just a short stroll off the scenic beach promenade, you hit the heart of the town. The town has a waterpark where the kids can enjoy some fast slides. Costa Teguise doesn’t have much of the historical sightseeing of its sister towns, but it's great for lounging on the beach. Around a half-hour bus ride northeast from Lanzarote Airport, here’s the best things to do in Costa Teguise.

    Compared to other Canarian beaches, the white-sand Playa de Las Cucharas (Las Cucharas Beach) is considerably small, slightly over a half-kilometre long. But being well-developed and geared towards holidaymakers, it’s packed with family fun. There are sections along the beach that are dedicated to water sports activities. Surfing and windsurfing is big in Costa Teguise, and rentals and operators are easy to find. You can also go scuba diving off the coast. Besides swimming and sunbathing, milder pleasures include pedal boats rentals that you can share with the kids.
