Los Lobos Islet.
A few kilometers off the coast of Corralejo, Los Lobos Island is a true piece of unspoiled paradise. The island is uninhabited and has been a natural park since 1982.
Its name comes from the fact that the island was once inhabited by numerous sea lions, known in Spanish as "sea wolves" (lobo means "wolf"), now at risk of extinction. Its origin is volcanic, and its terrain is characterized by arid terrain and rocky landscapes, but also by beautiful sandy beaches. On Los Lobos, you can admire some very rare plant species, birds such as the herring gull and Cory's shearwater, and along its coasts, you can spot seals and dolphins.

Cofete
Cofete Beach is a long and enchanting white sand beach, approximately 5 km long, southwest of the Jandia Peninsula. Its wild and isolated charm stems from its difficult access and frequent windy and deserted conditions. Very large waves and strong currents break on the beach, so swimming is not recommended in very rough seas. The area is very isolated and there is no lifeguard service available in case of emergency. The beach can be reached by car, following the completely unpaved road (approximately 20 km) from Morro Jable towards the Punta Jandia Lighthouse , located at the southern tip of the peninsula. Halfway there, take the fork that goes up to the right towards Cofete. Once you reach the top of the pass, you can admire the entire western coast of Fuerteventura in a truly breathtaking landscape. From there, the road descends to the village, just a few dozen meters from the beach.

Morro Jable
Morro Jable is built around a promontory and its small harbor. The seafront promenade, lined with numerous shops, restaurants, and bars, begins here. Tourism is predominantly German, as are the restaurants and bars in Morro Jable. The old part of the village, separated from the harbor by a promontory, sits on a ravine between the hills. The newer parts connect the old village to the harbor, while the tourist resorts are located along the coast to the east of the town. Morro Jable beach is part of a long chain of natural white-sand beaches. The beach east of the lighthouse is used by naturists, while the one to the west is used by ordinary swimmers. There are areas equipped with umbrellas, lounge chairs, and a few boat rentals.

Jandia
The Jandia coastline extends south to the town of Morro Jable and boasts a variety of beaches, from those with black sand or pebbles to those with small rocks. In the middle stands the Jandia Lighthouse , at " Playa Del Matorral ," which not only serves as a warning to sailors but also divides the beach into naturist and non-naturist areas.

Beach
is Fuerteventura's largest and most famous beach. It is located east of the Jandía Peninsula, a few kilometers south of the town of Costa Calma.
Stunning and incredibly long, it hosts windsurfing and kitesurfing competitions, and various beach parties are also held. During the day, at low tide, a large lagoon forms, separating the beach into two strips of sand. Inside the lagoon, the water is very shallow and calm, and windsurfing lessons are usually held there, sheltered from the strong currents.

La
Pared is a long golden sand beach in the southwest of the island, very similar to the one south of El Cotillo and a popular spot for surfers. To reach the beach, you have to take a concrete staircase leading down from the cliff.

Ajuy
is a fishing village famous for its caves and located on the west coast of Fuerteventura, in the municipality of Pajara. The village boasts a small black sand beach, lined with small fishermen's taverns and their colorful boats. The quiet village of Ajuy is recommended for its seafood restaurants and for being close to nature. It is located at the entrance to the Ajuy Ravine , home to a large colony of palm trees.

Costa Calma
is a major resort in southern Fuerteventura. Here, the white sand and azure sea create beautiful, picture-perfect beaches.

Tarajalejo
Tarajalejo is a small fishing village. The beach here is made up of sand and black volcanic pebbles, and is very quiet and rarely crowded.

Gran Tarajal
Gran Tarajal is located on the eastern coast of Fuerteventura and is one of the most populous towns on the island.
Its stunning black-sand beach contrasts with the breathtaking blue sea. Its promenade and relaxed atmosphere make it an ideal place for romantic strolls.
Events, parties, and concerts are held on Gran Tarajal beach (including Womad , a concert series that attracts tens of thousands of spectators).

Las Playitas
Another nice black sand beach.

Pozo Negro:
A charming beach of black sand and pebbles, rarely visited by tourists as it can only be reached by car. It is located in eastern Fuerteventura, south of the airport, and can be reached from the north-south road, following the signs for the Pozo Negro turnoff.
The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing: the surrounding village is typical of fishing, with whitewashed houses and a few small taverns.

Caleta de
Fuste is a very popular resort town south of Puerto del Rosario. The town is clustered around a natural bay. The white sand is imported, and the bay's waters are affected by the tides: the waters rise and fall significantly throughout the day.
The Caleta de Fuste area is located in a protected habitat for marine species and is an excellent starting point for snorkeling or scuba diving excursions.

Playa Blanca:
South of Puerto del Rosario, near the airport, lies Playa Blanca. Thanks to its proximity to the airport terminal, you can get a close-up view of airplanes landing and taking off from the nearby runway. Check the flags displayed on the beach indicating the level of danger of currents: if the flag is red, you should stay no more than 15 meters from the shoreline. The unique shape of the ocean floor often generates undertows and rip currents in rough seas or strong winds.

Playa Chica
is a city beach located near the town of Puerto del Rosario . The beach is very popular with locals. The water is clear and calm: being close to a port, it has a breakwater that protects it from ocean waves.

Corralejo Galera Beach
Galera Beach is a beach located in the town of Corralejo. Certainly smaller than the nearby beaches of the Natural Park, it is often very crowded, especially with British tourists. The waters are generally calm and swimming is safe.

Corralejo Playa El Burro
El Burro Beach is located in the Corralejo Natural Park. The beach is dotted with corralitos , small circular walls built to shelter from gusts of wind, a true peculiarity of Fuerteventura.

Corralejo Natural Park
Corralejo is the main tourist resort in northern Fuerteventura. It has numerous beaches, some very close to the center, while outside the city lies the Corralejo Natural Park, with beaches and golden sand dunes stretching for several kilometers. Playas Grandes is popular with surfers and is the ideal place for kitesurfing and windsurfing (there are numerous schools for learning these sports). In the Corralejo Natural Park, large sand dunes plunge into the crystal-clear water. The beach is vast and nudism is permitted. The natural park area is just a short drive east of Corralejo's center and can be reached by car or bicycle in just a few minutes. If you want to stay right on the beach, there are two large hotels overlooking the sea: the Hotel Riu Palace Tres Islas and the ClubHotel Riu Oliva Beach Resort .
