Playa de la Pared
A surf beach on the west coast of Fuerteventura, at La Pared, known for its cliffs, dark sand, and celebrated sunsets.
Playa de la Pared opens onto the west coast of Fuerteventura, within the municipality of Pájara, at the point where the island narrows between the windward north and the leeward south. It is a broad beach of dark golden sand, framed by reddish cliffs that fall toward the ocean and give it a rugged character quite unlike the turquoise coves further into Jandía.
Facing the open Atlantic, it catches steady waves that have made it a landmark for surfing, especially for those who already have experience. The same currents and swell call for caution from swimmers, above all on days of heavy sea. As the afternoon fades, the sun sets right in front of the beach, one of the reasons many visitors make their way here.

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.
