A lovely area in Arrecife. A tidal lagoon with a walkway all the way around and lots of nice eateries. Just a short walk from the shopping areas and the main water front.

Lots of bars and restaurants around the lake. Lovely place to eat

Food was amazing and the ambience so tranquil.

Nice place with restaurant and bars nearby

Nice walking area, around a lagoon, for me the most pleasant spot of Arrecife. As a bonus, it has become a bit of a gastronomic area as well. Around here you’ll find some of the best eating spots in town (together with less enthusing ones).

Really nice and photogenic place for a pleasant walk while exploring the city.

Great Tapas places on the sunny side, cool restaurants in the shade. My favourite tapas is recognised best by the wooden trays they use to show their menus - terrific Serrano and Cheeses box, Lanzarote tomato salad brilliant, Russian salad is huge and very good, I love their beef meatballs with fried potatoes- shareable if your not greedy Fun wines, gents loo tight for fatties, ladies capacious All female crew, very helpful and charming.

As a big fan of modern art, I was a bit disappointed with the amount of it, which was not much at all. Hardly an art gallery at all. The best part was actually the cafe with nice staff and tasty food. Unfortunately the view is mostly showing an ugly industrial container port. Not worth it unless it’s within the walking distance from where you are.

Simple, well done modern art gallery with a fabulous restaurant attached. Quiet and with super port views. Some excellent art.

Small nice museum of local and international contemporary art. The location is very suggestive, especially the bar at the lower floor. The low entrance fee (5euro) is worth it, nice way to spend an hour in Arrecife.

The Museo Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo (MIAC), located within the 16th-century Castillo de San José, is a modest but historically rich cultural stop. While I personally found the museum's contemporary art collection to be rather limited and of minimal relevance to my taste, the real highlight for me was the castle itself—an impressively preserved coastal fortification that speaks of Lanzarote’s defensive past. What truly elevates the experience is the restaurant and bar area, which, as I understand, was designed by the visionary César Manrique. The integration of architecture, light, and views is quintessentially Manrique: elegant, organic, and deeply connected to the natural surroundings. One of the most memorable elements—and perhaps a hidden gem—is the restroom design. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean, the bathrooms are unexpectedly breathtaking, offering a surprising moment of serenity and beauty. A small but delightful detail I appreciated were the royal crown-shaped door handles scattered throughout the interior—clever, regal touches that add character and charm. Overall, while the museum may not be a must-see for contemporary art enthusiasts expecting a comprehensive collection, it is absolutely worth visiting for the ambience, architecture, and the harmonious blend of history and design. I recommend stopping by for a relaxed drink or meal at the restaurant while enjoying the sea views from one of Lanzarote’s most iconic historic spaces.

Small museums that has a very limited art exhibition that doesn’t justify the price. The staff was very kind and helpful The restaurant cafe has a nice view worth stopping by

Just extraordinary and underrated place where you can feel C. Manrique’s touch everywhere Fantastic panoramic view on the port

What a wonderful place. Some interesting art in a curious and beautiful old castle building. Staircases are really cool and the rooftop views are nice. The artwork is interesting - particularly the sculpture exhibition. After the gallery, you’ll find the most gorgeous cafe / restaurant downstairs with sweeping views over the coast. The decor is truly stunning - and the coffee was delicious. I have to say… the toilets are without a doubt the nicest I’ve ever been in. No joke! Jesus and colleagues were so kind when our little bean spilled her water - and service was first class. Next time : lunch or dinner. I read a review that said “well, it’s not MoMA”. No, but it doesn’t try to be. It’s exactly what it says on the tin- a small museum of contemporary art in a stunning building. With a gorgeous cafe I’d have came back to again and again on the trip - and will frequent next time!

Amazing playa. We had a great time there. Always clean.

Lovely beach, supervised by lifeguards, backed onto by any number of bars & restaurants. Also has well-appointed public toilets. Go here for sun/swim/eats & drinks

The water is shallow for a long time and there are stones in it. It looks great, the sand is nice and clear but you cannot swim in the water properly.

Well maintained beach, good for spending a time with friends. A lot of rocks in the ocean, you cannot swim because water is shallow - it’s more for quick refreshment

As others commented, is not only that is closed due to pollution but the signalling about it is poor. I have seen people going into the water and lifeguard says nothing about it. Dangerous and disappointing behaviour. For a quiet sunbath is perfect.

On the day we visited you were unable to go into the sea as a sewage pipe was Broke and polluting the sea. The beach is lovely and sandy and wide and long but sea is shallow and rocky. Showers and toilets which are free and two lifeguard stations. Nice to walk around and sun bath but no sunbeds to hire.

This beach is very beautiful! The sand is nice and clean and there are no rocks, the water is also good and clear, you can see people doing different sports inside the water, you can also see some marine life on the rocks such as crabs. There are also many good restaurants opposite this beach, it is recommended to visit it

Absolute pathetic workers there they do not deliver on their promises and they will do anything as well to get you off their backs. (To pass the blame on to there co-workers) i would rather go to another one of their shops than this one

I spoke with Daniel and disappointed I applied for WiFi now is 15 days I don't get it yes I call so many time they didn't pic phone

After waiting for over 15 minutes while the assistant chatted socially with a customer then helped gift wrap his purchase even though she gave him paper and scissors the ‘computer said no’ for my request for a replacement SIM card. She was dismissive and rude and offered no help whatsoever. Lobster for me!

I went to Movistar and was greeted by Marco. I have never had such amazing service from a company - he was so helpful, and polite and it felt like he really made his greatest effort to help us get the best deal for us. Having looked at competition - Movistar is by and far the most flexible and best value for money provider that Lanzarote has to offer. Amazing service, thank you! You have my loyalty.

Dear Movistar I want to tell you that your employee Marco has helped me so much to get fiber into my house. He was soooo helpful and you are very lucky to have Marco in your company. I will only go to Marco from now on. Great, helpful and friendly employee. Saludos.😄

Hello, good morning. I wanted to write about my great experience with Marco.He works in Movistar in Deiland. I live here since many years and from the very start they put us in with the wrong address.Last year I made a new contract with Movistar.In the process I asked for to please change the address to my correct one. It didn't work. I have asked Marco a few days ago to please finally put it in correctly.He did it straight away. He already helped me last year with all the complications of getting fibre into the house. I am very pleased to say. ,that if you have any problems go to Marco.He speaks great english and is very helpful. 5 Star from my side. Muchisimas gracias, Marco! Saludos!

Thank you very much mr marco. You help me about my billing sistem. You aplicar me super. Now I am under stand all things about billing sistem. I came 2 days before but no body help me like you marco.you are one of the best worker in movistar . .

amazing quiet place. I love it here.

We were on an NCL cruise and one of the stops was Arrecife. We spent the day exploring the city looking at all the sites. We found this church by accident and decided to check it out. It is a beautiful little church both inside and outside. Very peaceful place to visit. The square in front of the church is currently under renovation so that distracts from the overall visit a little. But we enjoyed our visit and would certainly go again.

A really beautiful little church at the centre of the very small old town area of Arrecife, the interior is beautifully decorated with a wonderful Andalusian wooden ceiling. Very ornate. The whole building looks like it was built from the local volcanic rock. Wonderful sense of peace inside. Open most of the day, Mass Monday to Friday 7.30pm and 10.30 am and Noon on Sunday.

Very pleasant area.

Beautiful little church only open certain times. Very warm inside Get there early so you dont miss out on a seat

Still very authentic, worth visiting. Quiet

Escape the heat in this cool 17th century church. Wandering around the streets near the waterfront will keep catching glimpses of a distinctive bell tower of the 17th century church Iglesia de San Ginés de Clermont. Once you find it and go into its cool interior you'll find many wonderful details including the wood panelled Mudéjar-style ceiling. Check out the beautiful statue of the Virgin and Child at the side. The Virgin wears the 'Assunta' crown of 12 stars... As I was working out the best place to photograph her face, I realised you really do need to be kneeling right beneath her - in the place of a Pilgrim - if she's going to look directly into your eyes!

We were on a long NCL cruise and Lanzarote was one of the stops. There was a shuttle buses took us to take us part way to city center and we walked the rest of the way. This is a very large port and lots of activity, commercial and cruise ships. The customs building for the cruise ship was modern and pleasant. Very picturesque.

What a place . We did a 5 hour tour of the island seen so much of the place and never went anywhere near the beach and hotels. Would definitely go back again

An absolutely fantastic Marina! This Marina is spotless, no litter or garbage anywhere. The restaurants and shops are all within quick walking distance, some just a few steps away if you are on a boat! We have stayed here for a week and have found it peaceful, staff friendly and helpful as well as the boating facilities. Laundry area a bit small. Great parking and accessibility to the main centre of town. Would definitely recommend a visit, a stay and to support the wonderful shops and restaurants.

Beautiful Place 👍🥰

Clean and well kept with a number of nice stores selling a good variety of items from souvenirs to clothing and nice clean WCs

This place is awesome, you can enjoy their beautiful places, like ancient museum, and the park..while having your free time you can have a walk through seaside while watching the beauty of their very clear ocean.

Lovely marina with some magnificent boats, we only had a short visit so simply went to look at the amazing boats. We didn't visit any restaurants or shops, however the restaurants did look beautiful serving some lovely food.

To be honest, I was a little bit disapointed. Because I saw really nice (obviously edited) photos on the internet but reality was a little bit different. However it is still worth of visiting. In Arrecife, Lanzarote, the “Barco Fantasma” refers to the Telamón, a shipwreck that has become an iconic and eerie sight along the coastline. The Telamón Shipwreck: • History: Originally named Temple Hall, the Telamón was a cargo ship built in 1954. It was carrying wood when it suffered a structural failure and began taking on water near Lanzarote in 1981. The ship was deliberately grounded near Arrecife to prevent it from sinking completely. • Location: It rests partially submerged near Las Caletas, just outside the main port of Arrecife. • Current State: The rusting hull of the Telamón has become a striking feature of the coastline, often called the “ghost ship” of Lanzarote due to its abandoned and haunting appearance. • Tourism: While you cannot explore the wreck up close for safety reasons, it is a popular spot for photography and can be viewed from the nearby shore. The Telamón serves as a reminder of Lanzarote’s maritime history and adds an air of mystery to the island’s cultural and natural landscapes.

Crazy place. Went up there during my holidays, need to be careful and watch out for dead birds on the top and rusty edges - they are very sharp. Next to ship you will see a looooooot of different fish 🐠, including barracuda and hammerhead shark….

Absolutely Magical ❤️⚓♥️🤩Truly amazing but not a sad story.. when researched...all on board the shipThe Telamon where 🛟 rescued fascinating but worth the visit to see with ones eyes.

Fascinating wreck. I was staying in at Costa Teguise and spotted the ship from a bus window. Hired a bicycle a few days later just to cycle back for a proper look.

Interesting sight to see however it’s classed more as an eyesore and an unwelcome historic incident. Hence why it’s not mentioned and is apparently due to be removed after many years of legal arguments. I visited in November 2023. If you have a bike the cycle path along this part of the coast is excellent.

Greek boat from 1981 which got stuck in Lanzarote. Nice spot to go and take some pictures, but not much more. Not ideal to swim since the area is not suitable for swimming!

Fantastic location to scuba and look around, acces to the boat that's still above the water is possible but a bit hazardous. All in all a must see if you are into urbex and scuba diving/snorkeling and visiting the island of lanzarote

Fantastic little museum, well worth an hour of your time. The receptionist was very friendly and the tone of the museum is very casual but informative. If you aren’t a confident Spanish linguist then I’d suggest making sure you are able and have access to a translation service e.g. google translate. The museum is based within the old terminal building from the airports origins and provides an insight into how we got to the current set up. The exhibits including things from the airports history including a fire truck, an old aircraft and old service vehicle. Inside there is more relics from the past, documents and other little mementos from the aviation story of the island. There is no charge to visit and it’s completely self guided. It’s worth noting that there is no air conditioning so during hot months it may be ideal to come in the morning as we did.

Nice place to visit if you are interested in aeronautics. Kids loved it. Maria was very helpful. Airplanes made from plastic bottles were amazing. Never seen so well-made art from plastic bottles.

Great visit with very friendly staff. Great to experience the history of aviation and the effects of the island and its tourism industry. All for free and also free parking! Easy to get there straight of the LZ2 - head for T1.

Interesting museum set in the old terminal building. The dioramas take you through the history of aviation in Lanzerote starting pre-WW2 through to the construction of the current terminal building. The static display outside consists of a very tired Piper Cherokee 6, and engine and propellor from a Constellation which was broken up in the 70s and some tired ground support vehicles and equipment. Staff are helpful and informative and admission is free.

So much history. Didn't know that Manrique created a mural for the airport until now. Beautiful and well created exhibition. Very friendly staff!

Impressive Museum about the aviation history of Lanzarote. Small museum, but the content of the show ist very detailed and full of aviation knowledge. The initators of the museum did a great job and knew what the visitors like to see. The museum guide Theresa told me a Lot of the history of Lanzarote. Thank you, Theresa ! The museum is a MUST for aviation enthusiasts. Taking photos is allowed!

Very small and sweet, free and worth the trip

Very enjoyable, challenging for us but definitely recommend to others. Well priced.

We had an overall amazing experience. Miriam was very friendly, welcoming and helpful! The escape room itself, in our case Galleon the raid, was set up well and a lot of fun. We definitely recommend it for a fun time out!

What a treat! Adjoining our hotel in Lanzarote we couldn’t pass by this escape room experience. We’d done about 4 escape rooms prior to this one but this was certainly one of the best. Fabulously themed with some great and unique puzzles to solve. My husband, teenage daughter and myself made it out with around 5 minutes to spare. We all really enjoyed it. If you’re in Lanzarote you must check it out.

Personally, one of the worst escape rooms we ever did (and we did tens of them) - Ghost Shire. I'm all for non-linear rooms, but when I have 4 digit code and three possible locks where it can pass, it's annoying to just try all the options without any hint. This repeated over and over. Some puzzles are just "try to do something and maybe you will do it right". Not clear clues with many equally good options, which make you try things several times. Not foolproof design of some puzzles as well. At the end it was just frustrating. It has potential, but in my opinion it needs some work. For me, exit game is not about guessing.

My partner and I have done about 15 escape rooms together, so have pretty high expectations of interesting puzzles, and Try To Escape did not disappoint. We did both rooms - they both had clever and well designed puzzles, designed to push you to solve them in an hour. Ghost Shire is a bit more challenging with more rooms, and that was our favourite of the two, but Galleon the Raid was also very enjoyable.

We did both rooms. Best rooms we have escaped from so far!! (We have tried escape rooms in Norway, Sweden and Krotia) The host was also great! ❤

We did the galleon room, loved the fact you start off locked up. Challenging but we got out with a few good hints. All clues in English as requested. Next time we will have to try the other room! Did with family (teens)

Great exhibition! Highly recommended for anyone who likes photography and photojournalism and wants to get an impression of the island over the last few decades. Entertaining, informative, and great photos! Not big, 25-45 minutes. Well worth a visit!

A beautiful romantic museum that periodically changes subjects of the exposition through new great photos and new interesting information on the history of Lanzarote. To my view a "must see" for a tourist in Lanzarote as well as locals of the island...

Wonderful small building always hosting interesting and well thought out exhibitions. This time Las Revoltosas, dedicated to women who defied the rules and created the first female "murga". Warm welcoming by staff.

Free old house that used to be a women center apparently Now it host the history of the few man who impacted the island

Beautiful building!

Loved the exhibition. Place to check what exhibition is on. Friendly stuff❗

I Was told by a nice lady 2 days ago that as a wheelchair user I would be able to enter the house from a side entrance . We returned today to find a very rude man in her place who looked at me and ranted something in Spanish and then walked away . My partner followed him to try and explain he eventually understood went around the side and said “It’s Kerpoot” I assume he meant broken . He then walked away and continued to pace up and down the road in front of the entrance. I found the whole experience very upsetting. As a capital city I would have expected better .

Take a walk over both bridges and enjoy a stroll around the fort. César Manrique statues on the quay side.

Nice place to visit with great views

Nice place to relax,beautiful weather,good beer and great Paella. Enjoy it!

Statue in the middle of a paved shopping street.

(Translated by Google) A well-deserved tribute to a Canarian sporting legend The statue of Heraclio Niz Mesa, better known as "Pollo de Arrecife," is a symbol of local pride and a moving tribute to one of the most beloved figures of Canarian wrestling. Located in a central and busy area of Arrecife, this sculpture realistically captures the strength and character of this legendary wrestler. In addition to being a must-see for those who value the history and sporting culture of the Canary Islands, the statue is also a beautiful spot to reflect on the traditions that have given the Lanzarote people their identity. Very well preserved and perfectly positioned for photos, it blends harmoniously into the urban environment. A small but significant monument that fondly remembers a true icon of the local sport. Highly recommended to include it on any walk through the center of Arrecife! (Original) Homenaje merecido a una leyenda del deporte canario La estatua de Heraclio Niz Mesa, más conocido como “Pollo de Arrecife”, es un símbolo del orgullo local y un emotivo homenaje a una de las figuras más queridas de la lucha canaria. Ubicada en una zona céntrica y muy transitada de Arrecife, esta escultura capta con gran realismo la fuerza y el carácter de este legendario luchador. Además de ser una parada obligatoria para quienes valoran la historia y la cultura deportiva de Canarias, la estatua también es un bonito punto para reflexionar sobre las tradiciones que han dado identidad al pueblo lanzaroteño. Muy bien conservada y con una ubicación perfecta para fotos, se integra de forma armoniosa con el entorno urbano. Un pequeño pero significativo monumento que recuerda con cariño a un auténtico referente del deporte vernáculo. ¡Muy recomendable incluirla en cualquier paseo por el centro de Arrecife!

(Translated by Google) This statue is located at the beginning of the main street of Arecife where there are many shops, bars, restaurants. It is a very nice pedestrian street to take a walk and stop in some place or do some shopping. This street is well maintained, but if you move away a few meters from the center, I noticed a certain degradation in the city. (Original) Questa statua si trova all'inizio della via principale di Arecife dove ci sono molti negozi, bar, ristoranti. È una strada pedonale molto carina per fare una passeggiata e fermarsi in qualche locale o fare shopping. Questa strada è ben curata, ma se ci si allontana di pochi metri dal centro, ho notato un certo degrado nella città.

I loved this place. Light-hearted and pleasant to watch exhibitions.

Amazing and totally unexpected little cultural and exposition place plus little bar in the hidden heart of Arrecife. Changing exhibitions that are very worth visiting!

The CIC is housed in an original Canarian building, providing a series of spaces to hold cultural exhibitions in. We visited in June 2019, and the current exhibition is of canvases by Ildefonso Aguilar. These consist of textured pictures of volcanic landscapes, depicting an understandable link between Lanzarote and Iceland. The pictures are displayed on three levels, reached by stairs. There's a fourth subterranean level where an audiovisual display of rock formations is shown against the walls of the cellar. This was very atmospheric and worthwhile taking time to appreciate the changing images. The entire exhibition is free entry. There is also access via the El Almacen bar next door. For the lower levels this has a lift or alternatively you use an attractive wooden staircase. According to staff there, opening hours remain the same after this exhibition finishes on 13th July. Check out what follows next.

A quiet and cool oasis for spending an hour browsing the local art. Quiet and comfortable coffee bar too.

A fabulous transformation from when last I went , the bar is bright, vibrant and oozes an air of young and trendy but with men and women of all ages present. It appears to have an art house style cinema above it so when my Spanish improves sufficiently I will be back for that.... in the mean time I shall enjoy "practising" my Spanish in the bar where the beer was delicious and the tapas looked splendid. Well done to all involved :-)

An Art centre with an interesting set of rooms for exhibiting art. There were two artist's exhibiting and both shows were well worth seeing. The centre has regular events and activities plus has what looks like a very nice wine & tapas bar. I hope to re-visit and find out more!

A lovely hidden gem of a place, it is hidden away a few streets back from the sea front but well worth the visit, It is a local cultural center based around an old work place for the island's most famous son Cesar Manrique, lovely little restaurant and bar with very reasonable prices for great food, very much a locals place.

Friendly service and nice beers , recommend for craft beer enthusiasts. An unexpected gem amongst a sea of normal bars , limited hours unfortunately or I’d have gone more.

A brill brew pub; on site ales that don’t disappoint. Visited twice during a six day stay on the island. Beer is really well made, staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Just missing a food truck and I would’ve been installed all night! The cactus session pale was a brilliantly executed tribute to Lanzarote. Chapeau all involved!

If you love craft beer and you’re in Arrecife you need to check this place out! 🍺 The man working behind the bar was very friendly on our arrival, took the time to talk about the beers and which ones we should try first. The bar has a nice vibe and cool music playing in the background.

Great mico brewery with a good selection of own brews and pincho's. Friendly staff and atmosphere.

Popped into Arracife when staying on the island as wanted to visit NAO. Really lovely little microbrewery with some great beers. Tried everything on draught and took a few others to go. Highly recommend if you get the chance to pop by, a great little taproom with lovely staff.

small but very nice craft beer brewery with a small pub room. Beer is very tasty and fresh from the tap. Also plenty of bottles and cans to take away.

Cute little bar serving its own local craft beer. The staff was friendly and fast, having only a few people inside on a Saturday afternoon. Had good chill music as well.

Small Parck with beautiful sea view and A nice long walkway

The coastal cycle route passes through here, with some lovely sculptures and an old shipwreck on display, a beautiful place to visit with lots of facilities.

A small park, not much to see, good to have a rest there and to chill by the seaside and admire the view of Arrecife. Follow my videos on youtube to see how this place looks like, my channel is: Big Joe - Cheap Travels

I went watch the free drone show from the Parc area. Very impressive

Lovely place to have a wander and sit a while

Average park, but good position.

Cool spot

Nice beach to stay. Very spacious and absolutely not crowded. You can enjoy your privacy. The beach is clean with easy access to water. There are no rocks so you can swim and walk in ocean easily. Fee parking is available nearby. However, no shops/bars/restaurants close by, you have to walk at lest 500m on the promenade.

My favourite beach day and night at Playa Honda🤩

It's one of my favourite beaches. Never crowed. If it's too windy take shelter in the stone circles and enjoy

quiet, serene, clean

What makes a beach 5 star? Not sure. Loved these beaches and all the surrounding beaches too. Quiet, spacious and chilled

Favourite beach. Quiet and secluded with a lovely walkway to funky bars and restaurants along to Honda beach.

Peaceful lovely place view and sea just perfect. Relax and enjoy the piece and quiet 🤫
