Beaches Among Europe’s best
Fuerteventura – blessed with over 150 beaches - is one of the least spoiled and the least discovered of the Canary Islands. With a dramatic volcanic landscape, little rainfall and all year round warm temperatures, the desert landscape is unique and large areas of the island are protected parks. Visit Fuerteventura and you are stepping back to the way Spain was perhaps 30 years ago – no high rise buildings and a relaxed and gentle way of life, clean streets and beaches. Unlike its more touristic and built-up neighbours of Tenerife, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura is a place to come to relax, unwind and step back in time. No dusk-to-dawn open air discos, no Club 18-30

The island, the closest of the Canaries to Africa, has an embarrassment of beaches – some are in deserted coves and little fishing villages, others down little dirt tracks - but the most popular ones can be reached from the main roads. Not that main roads resemble those found in mainland Spain or the UK. Yes, they are well maintained and mostly straight but the lack of traffic is the first thing you notice. Due to the steady breeze it also makes Fuerteventura a water sport paradise – windsurfing, surfing and kite surfing take place all over the island.
