What To Do in Puerto del Carmen on a Rainy or Overcast Day
October has arrived in Lanzarote, and although we’re still enjoying plenty of beautiful sunshine, the weather can occasionally throw us a cloudy or rainy day.
But don’t let a bit of overcast weather put a dampener on your holiday!
If you’re staying in Puerto del Carmen, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your day — even when the sun decides to hide.
Try Crazy Mini Golf
Fancy a bit of friendly competition? Head out for a game of crazy golf in Puerto del Carmen. It’s a fun option for couples, families and groups of friends, and it gives you something different to do when spending the day on the beach isn't quite possible.Go to Volcano Safari Mini Golf and Duckpin Bowling
Safari Themed Mini Golf Course, with other games including Lanzarote´s only duckpin bowling!Get Your Adrenaline Fix at Lanzarote Karting
If sitting around waiting for the sunshine isn't your idea of a holiday, head to Lanzarote Karting and get your adrenaline pumping, includes free transfers from Puerto del Carmen.It's a great daytime activity for older children, teenagers and adults — and definitely beats spending the whole day in your hotel room!
Book an Excursion
A little cloud shouldn't stop you exploring. Companies such as Nic Nacks Excursions offer a variety of excursions and experiences around Lanzarote, so why not see what's available and make a day of it?Sometimes the unexpected days out end up being some of the best memories of a holiday.
Treat Yourself to Some Time Out
Perhaps a grey day is exactly the excuse you need to slow down.Why not book yourself a massage or treatment at Altea Centro 5 minutes from Puerto del Carmen and turn an ordinary day into a proper holiday treat?
There's nothing wrong with taking a few hours to relax, unwind and let somebody else do the pampering.
Enjoy Some Daytime Live Music
If your idea of a perfect holiday day involves sitting somewhere comfortable with a nice drink and listening to some live music, you're in luck.Cafe La Ola is a great place to enjoy daytime entertainment and soak up the holiday atmosphere without needing perfect weather.
And if you're a gin lover, why not head to The Good Old Days Bar & Kitchen in Puerto del Carmen and enjoy their gin special? You can relax, have a drink and simply watch the world go by.
Make It a Night Out
And if you feel like your day hasn't quite gone to plan, don't write it off just yet!Why not turn it into a proper night out? Book a show at Guapatini´s or Music Hall Tavern for a night of fun and laughter.
A rainy afternoon can quite easily turn into one of those nights you remember long after you've returned home.
Don't Let a Cloudy Day Ruin Your Holiday
One of the great things about Lanzarote is that there is so much more to the island than beaches and sunshine.Yes, we all dream of spending every holiday day beside the pool or on the beach, but if the weather occasionally doesn't cooperate, there's no reason to sit in your accommodation feeling like you've lost a day.
From crazy golf and karting to excursions, massages, live music and evening shows, Puerto del Carmen has plenty of alternatives.
And let's be honest — sometimes a cloudy day is simply the perfect excuse to explore a different side of Lanzarote.
The sun will probably be back tomorrow! ☀️
