Famara Beach (Las Palmas) is located outside the Las Laderas settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Lanzarote and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Famara Beach with the locals.

Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
