Lanzarote’s Famara Beach is a surfing hub hidden within the Natural Park of the Chinijo Archipelago, away from the island’s more touristy areas in the south. Over in Fuerteventura, the island’s year-round warm climate is complemented by constant winds, making perfect surfing conditions. Flights from Lanzarote airport often go directly to many European cities, making these islands perfectly positioned for travellers to escape to. Below we’ve selected five of the best surf camps from these surf hotspots, taking into account price, activities and reviews.
