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.

Playa de Puntalarga
Playa de Puntalarga is a small bay on the coastline of Fuencaliente de La Palma, about a hundred metres long and twenty metres wide, with a mix of sand and callao pebbles. Small rocky outcrops shelter it from the sea and the swell stays moderate. A natural rock pool lies right beside the beach, and the whole corner is ringed by fishermen's huts, with fishermen often at work there.
