Puerto Calero Marina
One of the most glamorous marinas in the Canary Islands, Puerto Calero is a purpose-built harbour where superyachts bob against a skyline of black lava and terracotta hills. The promenade is immaculate, the restaurants are genuinely good, and the whole place hums with a quiet, unhurried energy that feels a world away from the busier resorts nearby.
A stroll along the pontoons
The main boardwalk curves around the inner harbour, lined with bougainvillea-draped lamp posts and boutique shops selling everything from handmade jewellery to quality Canarian wine. It takes about twenty minutes to walk end to end, but most visitors slow to a dawdle once the smell of grilled fish from the waterfront terraces kicks in.
At the far end of the promenade you'll find a small but well-curated nautical museum inside the marina complex — easy to miss, worth seeking out for its scale models of historic Canarian fishing vessels and antique navigation charts.
Watersports and boat trips
The marina is the departure point for several reputable catamaran and sailing excursions along the southern Lanzarote coast, including sunset tours that pass the dramatic cliffs below Ajaches. Whale and dolphin watching trips also leave from here most mornings — bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales are regularly spotted in the channel between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
Diving operators based at the marina offer access to some of the best volcanic reef sites on the island, including the wreck of the Telamon, a cargo ship sitting in around 24 metres of clear Atlantic water just a short boat ride away.
