Grandes Playas de Corralejo
Long white-sand beaches beside the Corralejo dunes, with turquoise water ideal for swimming and wind sports.
Grandes Playas run along the southeast coast of Corralejo, edging the Dunes Natural Park. Their several kilometres of white sand and turquoise water make them one of the largest bathing areas on Fuerteventura.
The steady wind makes them popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Access is free, with parking along the coastal avenue.
