Playa de La Concha de Lobos

La Concha, also known as La Calera, is the most visited beach on Islote de Lobos, the small island facing Corralejo off the northern tip of Fuerteventura. Its horseshoe shape shelters it from the prevailing wind, so the water usually stays flat and clear over a bed of fine white sand. It is a short walk from the landing jetty. The whole islet is a Natural Park and visitors need a permit arranged in advance.

Playa Corralejo

The town beach of Corralejo's old quarter, on the northern tip of Fuerteventura. Fine golden sand, a gently shelving bottom and water sheltered by the Muelle Chico breakwater, with the seafront promenade and its terraces a few steps behind. The Bocaina strait opens up in front: Isla de Lobos sits about five kilometres out and the Lanzarote coastline closes the horizon. The ferry terminals are four hundred metres away, and the dune park starts just south of town.
