Beach Hopping

Enjoy a carefree day on two of the most popular beaches on Fuerteventura, an island known for having as many as 80 official beaches. You will first visit the beach within the Corralejo Natural Park, whose backdrop is the largest expanse of sand dunes in the Canary Islands. It is an ideal setting to stretch out in the sun and do nothing more ambitious than while away the hours. The beach is so large that you can easily find a secluded spot where the only people that you see will be the windsurfers offshore. Later in the day, you will head for an urban beach at Caleta de Fuste, a town just south of Puerto del Rosario. This stretch of sand rims a sheltered cove with shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. The tower near the end of the beach was built in the 18th century to defend the island from pirates.
