Corralejo

Calling all water babies! Corralejo has a beautiful sea bed which is formed from a unique structure of underwater ledges, drops, caves and tunnels that makes it an ideal place for diving. The climate really does allow aquatic sports to be enjoyed throughout the year. If you are feeling even more adventurous then some of Corralejo’s beaches are used by naturists! If you prefer to keep your clothes on then you can visit the rest of Corralejo.

It is approximately 2 miles square, making it the largest holiday resort on the island. At its centre Corralejo remains a traditional fishing village. However, there are many new buildings behind and to the side of the town. Along the waterfront there is a promenade that is lined with cafes and restaurants. From the port there is a regular ferry service to Lanzarote. The beaches in Corralejo are the resort's major attraction. The area has 7 miles of fine sand starting 2 miles outside of Corralejo, along with some smaller bays along the coast. In addition, there are several miles of sand dunes located nearby, which have been designated as a nature reserve. The waters around Corralejo are clear and an intense shade of blue, but are affected by strong currents. The town's beaches are somewhat more sheltered and have a band of volcanic rock along the shoreline.
