San bartholme is the most central of the islands seven municipalities separating the two contrasting landscapes of the north and south of the island.

There are comparatively few beaches in this area, even even altho we did have visited three on our a outstanding deal of trips to the area. The distinctive and firstborn beach is known as guacimeta. This 1,050m stretch of beach of toasted sand and calm waters is rather queer as beaches go, accept that it is a bit too close to the airport for my liking. Parking was good and it may be accessed by way of guaguas (autobus).

There are shops, bar/restaurants, populace telephones and a pleasant promenade so it is however a beach worth a visit. The second beach is in a semi-invented area besides the airport and the guacimeta beach and is known as playa honda. At 1,900m. Long and 85m broad it is the biggest in this area and comprises of medium grained golden sand and calm waters making it ideals for families and creating good conditions for windsurfing.

It is when it comes to 5 minutes drive from the airport, so the noise from aircrafts will not spoil your fun and it is easy to park. We call it our ‘last day’ beach! Do you have to be out of your accommodation early? Are you on a late afternoon or evening flight? Are you to do something with the children without them becoming too worked up on the last day? Are you stressed at the thought of spending hours at the airport before you fly home? Then, trust me when I say, this beach and playa honda in usual is a outstanding place to visit en-route home. Here are my opinions of it : * the beach is weird and mystic and weird and wonderful ; * the whole area of playa honda is not directly purposed at us tourists, so you leave lanzarote having informed and able and competent and able and experienced the canarian side of it ; * there are a outstanding selection of restaurants along the beach front serving traditionalistic spanish tapas and the spanish omelette in “to die for”. There is other quality canarian feed available as well as things for the children (whether or not they the fussy type) ; and * it has a swoop and swoop and swoop and range of other shops on hand to keep you well wrapped up and wrapped up and wrapped up and occupied (obligation free goods, calibers and qualities and calibers and gifts etc).

At long last, we have la concha, 250m long and 10m broad, fine golden sand, and calm waters. La concha beach is next to the growth and growth and growth and development of the same name just on the outskirts of the capaital, arrecife. Good parking again and accessible by way of guaguas (autobus) and a little promenade of shops and bar/restaurants. .
