Fuerteventura is the second largest island of the Canaries and a perfect destination for a vacation on long sandy beaches, which are white, yellow or black according to preferences. On this page, in addition to the best beaches from which to dive and those on which to walk for miles, we also present all the other activities to do on a trip to Fuerteventura.

To explore the coasts well and vary your own travel itinerary, I recommend renting a car, which you can Search and book at this link . Fuerteventura is long, so if possible it is better to stay in different places during your holiday, dividing between north, Corralejo area, and south, in the Jandia peninsula.

A holiday in Fuerteventura can be coupled with a trip or at least a trip of a couple of days at Lanzarote , which is easily reachable in half an hour by ferry from Corralejo. In the channel between the two islands there is also the small, desert and fascinating Lobos.
The climate in Fuerteventura is warm the right all year round, with temperatures of twenty-twenty-five degrees and a often present sun; The wind refreshes, which can be unpleasant when you exit a nice bathroom in the ocean.

We start from the North: Corralejo is a very lively tourist center, with a central street full of shops and pubs, so much so that you look like an English shopping center. The area on the marina is picturesque, with long beaches and clear water. From here ferries leave for Lobos and Lanzarote.

To the east of the town there are the splendid dunes of Corralejo, who arrive on the sea forming splendid sandy beaches.
Always in the northern part of the island of Fuerteventura there are other splendid beaches, including I recommend El Cotillo. In particular, the sandy Playa de la Concha has the great advantage of being repaired by the waves.
Nearby there are also some beaches of "Popcorn", composed of small white stones from the shape, but not with taste, of popcorn.

Going south to meet in the interior barrel and semi-desert landscapes, with clay hills and a few villages; On the east coast there are the Puerto del Rosario capital and the airport, while on the Western one the coast is beaten by waves and inhospitable.

Inside the most well-known and tourist historical country of Fuerteventura is Betancuria, small, picturesque and well preserved.

Little further south there is one of the few villages on the west coast: Ajuy, whose beautiful bay has a black beach beaten by the wind, but in which however it is usually possible to bathe.
The organized travel itineraries Sometimes tourists to have lunch to Ajuy. From here there are also two beautiful walks along the coast: towards the south there are desolate cliffs and typically no tourist; The shortest and most comfortable itinerary north of Ajuy brings instead, in a few minutes, to the beautiful Ajuy caves.

Going down to the south you meet some panoramic points in the interior; The views in the hinterland are not comparable to those of the other Canary Islands, but on the other hand there are many squirrels (which, among other things, are not welcome by the inhabitants of the place, because they risk eating all the little green of Fuerteventura) .

The Playa de Setavento, with its lagoon, on the east coast, is one of the most beautiful beaches of Fuerteventura, at least for those who love walking along the ocean. On this infinite stretch of sand, the tides create splendid water games.

It was now on the beautiful Peninsula of Jandia: still proceeding in its own travel itinerary to the south, you arrive at the tourist resort of Morro Jable; From here you can proceed along the southern coast of the peninsula of Jandia (and of Fuerteventura), towards Cofete.
It is a dirt road, quietly passable with normal cars (but be careful that insurance may not cover you). On this coast, some splendid beaches open up; The sea, typically, is calm, as on all the southern coasts of the Canary Islands, and snorkeling towards the cliffs you can admire lots of fish.

Spreading a step, you arrive at Cofete, one of the wildest beaches of Fuerteventura, wind and wave jokes and for this beloved surfers and kite surfer, while it is typically unfit for a quiet bathroom.

Puerto de la Cruz, the village at the end of the Jandia peninsula, is truly rustic: it looks like a border seat.
Among the most beautiful and repaired beaches of the south coast of Fuerteventura, Playa de las Pilas Council, Playa Juan Gomez and those in the surroundings; On this stretch of southern coast of the Jandia peninsula, it is also nice to walk from one beach to another.
In short, Fuerteventura is a spectacular destination especially for those who love beaches; But more than a relaxing and tantarella vacation, the advice to walk along the spectacular coasts and do surfing or kite or wing or windsurfing.
