The Beaches of Fuerteventura

Beaches of Jandia and Sotavento, paradise for divers and friends of nudism

Between Pajara and Jandia you will find an almost untouched beach of a length of 6 kilometers. Golden sand, crystalline sea and a colorful world under water which magically attracts divers. Just in front of the beach are cruising fishing-boats, as great amounts of fish have to pass this narrow channel between the island and Africa. This beach is one of the less crowded of all the islands (parts of it are not accessible by car), so also the friends of nudism feel particularly well here.

Beach of Corralejos,
crystalline sea Corralejos is a pittoresque fishing-village in the very north of the island. Fine sand and crystalline water make its beaches some of the most beautiful of the archipelago. Also the romantical village itsself is well worth a visit, and from here you may have an excursion by boat to the nearby island Lobos

Lobos Island,
the lonely paradise Surprising but true. Just a few kilometers from the most modern complexes of tourism, you find this lonely island, inhabited just by a handful of fishermen. This is a really great place for all the "Robinson Crusoes" among us.



FUERTEVENTURA: The Old Land

Fuerteventura, the island with the oldest history, has the longest beaches of all the archipelago, of wonderful fine sand.
Only a narrow channel separates Fuerteventura from the African continent. It is a paradise equally for spending holidays at the beach as for fishing.

There are great beaches even very close to the islands capital, Puerto Rosario.
Fuerteventura is an ideal destination for surfers (the island has an important place on the windsurfing World Cup circuit) and for diving fans, thanks to the caves, tunnels, overhangs and rock formations to be found on its ocean beds.

Betancuria:

back to the roots This town, named after French conquerer Bethencourt, is located in the very center of the island.

This land is particularly fertile, which may be the reason why the island's original population, the Guanches, founded their first important settlement here. In the town's Archaeological Museum you can see highly interesting remains of this original civilization.

As well interesting is the artistically very valuable Cathedral, built in 1410, with beautiful works in Mudejar-style and painted choir-stalls of the wood of the canarian pine.
