The beach boasts golden, shallow sand, with rocks visible at low tide. It's perfect for swimming when the tide is high, and the wind usually blows toward the lighthouse. If you're planning on snorkeling or swimming, it's best to bring fins, and stay close to shore.

The beach has a lovely combination of white sand and black stones. When the tide is in, you'll have to take a seat on the stones. The great thing about the water is that there are barely any rocks, so you can get in safely without the risk of stumbling. Thanks to its lower elevation, it also provides a good shield against the wind.

This little beach in the distant south of Fuerteventura is a real gem. An hour of seclusion and tranquility - it was an experience to remember! The white sands are a sight to behold, I'd definitely suggest checking it out if you get the chance. It's a paradise that's worth the journey.

This location is nothing special - just a small, wild stretch of sand and rocks. Not ideal for swimming, sunbathing or any other beach activities. Not even worth a visit, really.
