Playa de la Concha (El Cotillo)
White-sand beach in a bay sheltered by a natural shell-shaped reef, next to the fishing village of El Cotillo.
Playa de la Concha is one of the best-known coves in northern Fuerteventura, on the edge of the village of El Cotillo in the municipality of La Oliva. A curved reef shelters the bay and forms a lagoon of calm, turquoise water that is well suited to family bathing.
Its strip of white sand and living coral seabed also make it popular for snorkelling, and it has held the Blue Flag in several years for the quality of its water.

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.
