Experience this spot in Tías. Great spot for surfing, supping, wind surfing, body surfing and body boarding. Tías is located in the eastern part of the Spanish island of Lanzarote, which is part of the Canary Islands archipelago located off the coast of West Africa. The area is known for its volcanic terrain and unique landscape, characterized by black sand beaches, rocky terrain, and impressive volcanic peaks. The scenery around Tías also includes various natural parks and reserves, where visitors can explore the island's diverse flora and fauna. In addition, the town of Tías itself is surrounded by agricultural land, where vineyards, olive groves, and fruit orchards thrive, creating a verdant backdrop against the stark volcanic landscape.
