Puerto Calero

Puerto Calero is a marina located on the island of Lanzarote, world famous for being one of the most prestigious destinations in the world of sailing. It was built in 1986 and became the first marina on the island.
Puerto Calero is an ideal destination to rest with a very familiar and close atmosphere that stands out for its security, modernity and exclusivity. Its location of volcanic origin makes it an idyllic place to spend a special day or an unforgettable stay.
The marina has 438 moorings for boats from 8 metres to 80 metres in length. It has a minimum draught of 7 metres, making it accessible at all tides. Each of the moorings has a water point and electricity connection as well as Wifi access.

Where is Puerto Calero located?

Puerto Calero is located on the south west coast of Lanzarote. Its location serves as a natural shelter for the harbour. As it is situated to the southwest, it is protected from the winds coming from the northeast. On the other hand, the mountains known as Punta Gorda and the proximity of the islands of Fuerteventura and Lobos protect it from winds and waves from the south-west.

What to see in Puerto Calero?

Puerto Calero is a residential complex and marina perfect for all those who love water sports, but that is not the only thing it has to offer its visitors.

Its main attraction is its Marina. This port offers shelter to small boats and yachts, as well as being the headquarters of numerous companies offering water activities and maritime routes. At the end of the main breakwater of the harbour there is a charming lighthouse, no more than three storeys high, attractive to visitors with its mix of red and black colours.

In the marina itself is the most commercial area of the municipality. A string of shops escort the inner part of the marina, with some first class firms. Meanwhile, in the exterior sector, and with views of the boats themselves, all the restaurants are located, with a wide gastronomic offer perfect for all tastes

But Puerto Calero is not all about water. From the village itself there are also several routes that can be done on foot or by bicycle. One of them is the one that links Puerto Calero with Puerto del Carmen along the coast. To the south there is another trail that connects with Playa Quemada. Both routes are perfect for the whole family.

For those looking for a deeper connection with nature, you will have to go a little further away from the municipality. The volcanic craters of Caldera Riscada and Montaña Tinasoria are just over ten minutes drive inland. Following the coast to the south we come across Los Ajaches, a natural monument formed by volcanic eruptions and which has given rise to small, hidden coves such as La Fuentecita or La Casa.
