Costa Teguise Playa de Los Charcos
Spain · Îles Canaries
The Playa de Los Charcos, located in Costa Teguise on Lanzarote, is a popular spot among locals for its proximity to the famous Cucharas beach. It is a small white sand beach bordered by two volcanic stone jetties, with little tourism and an authentic atmosphere.
It mainly attracts experienced kitesurfers due to its consistent wind and open space, away from the crowds. Windsurfing and wingfoiling can also be seen here, in a volcanic setting typical of the Canaries.
Less crowded than neighboring spots, it offers free navigation without too much supervision, ideal for quiet sessions year-round.

The beach is oriented northeast, making it a perfect spot for northeast to east winds in side-on or side-shore, with a regular power that rises quickly. The water surface is agitated by the tide, especially at high tide where a good wave forms between the two jetties, ideal for jumping or riding short waves.
Launching is done directly from the fine sand, easy even with kite gear, but be careful at low tide where the water is very shallow near the shore, requiring a long walk to launch. The navigation area extends offshore from the jetties, with enough space to avoid crowding, unlike the neighboring Las Cucharas.
Launching is simple on the sparsely populated beach, with schools nearby for gear or rescue if needed. In south-west offshore wind, it pushes you out, so be cautious. Conditions are consistent year-round, with a wind score of 94/100 and good months, but optimal from May to August.
