Explore the Old Town Harbour

A pretty and relaxing section of Puerto del Carmen, the Old Town Harbour is a great place to stroll along and simply take in the views. During the day, it's a popular place for tourists to wander about when they're taking a break from the beach.

Escape to the Timanfaya National Park

If you're looking for other things to do in Puerto del Carmen and don't mind heading further afield, explore one of the Canary Island's most impressive natural sights, the Timanfaya National Park.
