This place was a revelation for me, and it is conveniently located very close to the Maxorata Hotel. It is also easily accessible, making it an ideal spot to spend a day at the beach.

This spot was great! The water was crystal clear, and for 10€ a day you can rent sun beds and a parasol, though we didn't need it so I can't comment on the quality of the service. The only downside was the strong winds and the chilly water temperature, which was a bit of a bummer since we visited between mid-August and early September. All in all, this was one of the nicest beaches we visited in Fuerteventura.

That place is absolutely massive - I had to look at the maps to get an idea of the size before I went, and even then I was surprised when I arrived. It only took me five minutes to walk from the car park to the beach, but it was only then that I could really appreciate how expansive it was. There were bars, sunbeds, a lighthouse, and plenty of sand to soak up the sun.

This great beach is located at the very south of the island, providing a bit of protection from the wind. made of long, sandy shores, and is backed by a salt marsh and the main Morro Jable road. The beach stretches from here all the way into town and up to Butihondo, and offers basic amenities for visitors.

A nice and relaxing beach with basic amenities - no plastic chairs, almost no rocks, and a perfect spot for little kids - makes for a great day out.
