Good to know

Puerto del Carmen's La Tiñosa

Líneas Romero Waterbus
The Líneas Romero Waterbus links Puerto del Carmen and Puerto Calero, boarding at the waterfront in each. This daily coastal crossing typically takes 15-20 minutes and shows Lanzarote's shore from the sea. Take it for a direct marina visit; it is a sightseeing boat service, not part of the island's public bus network.
La Tiñosa and El Varadero
La Tiñosa was the name used for Puerto del Carmen's old quarter until the 1960s. El Varadero retains traditional seafaring buildings, and the fishing quay still serves working boats alongside recreational craft. Expect a lived-in port area rather than a themed waterfront, and leave room for people handling boats and gear.
Avenida de las Playas
Avenida de las Playas follows the coast on a flat seafront route, so use it to get your bearings on foot. Plaza de las Naciones, beside Playa de los Pocillos, is a local skating and roller-sport spot; give skaters room and keep to the walking side. The promenade connects the shoreline without taking you inland.
IntercityBus Lanzarote
IntercityBus Lanzarote's app shows island routes and schedules; use it to compare airport Lines 161 and 162 for Puerto del Carmen. You can pay aboard by bank card or cash, but drivers cannot change notes larger than €10. Tell the driver your destination before validating a transport card, and keep your ticket until the end of the ride.
