Sotavento is famous for its lagoon and constant wind conditions, making it one of the best spots in Europe for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The landscape changes with the tides, creating unique natural pools and open sandy areas.
It is a spectacular beach for walking, photography and water sports. However, because of the wind and the open landscape, it may feel less protected than beaches in Morro Jable or Jandía.
Sotavento is a must-see beach for active travelers, nature lovers and anyone who wants to experience one of Fuerteventura’s most iconic landscapes.
Cofete Beach
Cofete is one of the most wild and untouched beaches in Fuerteventura. Located inside a protected natural area, it offers dramatic views, mountains, huge open spaces and a unique atmosphere.
It is ideal for adventure lovers and photographers, but it is not usually the best beach for a simple swimming day. The ocean can be strong, and access requires more time and care than other beaches on the island.
Best For
Adventure, photography, landscapes, road trips and wild nature.
Good to Know
Access is more remote, so plan your visit carefully and check conditions before going.
Atmosphere
Dramatic, natural, quiet and completely different from resort beaches.
Corralejo Natural Park Beaches
The dunes of Corralejo offer white sand, turquoise water and a very different landscape from the south of the island. This area is popular for day trips, water activities and visitors staying in the north.
Corralejo is a good option for travelers who want a mix of beaches, activities, restaurants and a lively town atmosphere.
Corralejo Natural Park is one of the most recognizable beach landscapes in Fuerteventura and a great choice for visitors exploring the north.
