BEACHES

There is a reason why Fuerteventura is known as the beach of the Canary Islands. In its calm, clear waters, there is so much more to do than enjoy the sunshine. Delighting in peaceful strolls, playing sports like surfing, windsurfing or volleyball, or simply contemplating nature - all of this is possible on the island’s beaches of golden sand. Simply envisage the beach you are looking for and Fuerteventura will have one for you: with a blue flag and the full range of commodities, a wild beach, a welcoming beach, next to picturesque fishing villages, or even beaches with wind and waves, great for practising water sports.

In fact, two beaches in the south of the island have recently been recognized among the best in Spain by the TripAdvisor travel community, in their annual Travelers Choice ranking. But it’s not just the beaches in the south of Fuerteventura that possess a special charm: the whole island has enclaves where time seems to stand still, ideal for laying down your towel, grabbing a good book, simply taking a deep breath and enjoying the unrivalled charm of this unique corner of the world.
