July is one of the best months to visit Lanzarote: long days, guaranteed sunshine and a lively atmosphere all over the island. If you are planning your trip for these dates, here we tell you about what to do in Lanzarote in Julywith recommended plans, local events and practical tips from Salitre House.
☀️ What is the weather like in Lanzarote in July?
July marks the beginning of the most stable summer in Lanzarote. The weather is warm but very pleasant thanks to the trade winds. Average temperatures range between 24 °C and 30 °C during the day, and rarely fall below 20 °C at night.
It rarely rains and the humidity is low, which makes it a perfect month for outdoor activities and beaches.
Local Council:
- Wear sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.
- A light jacket for the evenings (especially if you are going up to high altitudes)
????️ Best plans for July in Lanzarote
1. Enjoying the beaches and natural coves
July is the perfect time to visit some of the best beaches on the island:
- Parrot: turquoise waters and unspoilt environment
- Famara: ideal for walks, surfing and sunsets
- Playa Chica: very good for snorkelling, close to Puerto del Carmen
2. Visiting art and nature centres
Avoid the hottest hours (13h-16h) and take advantage of the morning or late afternoon to visit:
- Cactus Garden (Guatiza)
- Jameos del Agua
