Playa Las Caletillas (Las Palmas) is located outside the Salinas del Carmen settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Fuerteventura and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa Las Caletillas with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This location is a great spot to unwind and take in the sun. It is a popular place for locals, but not as many tourists come here. Be sure to be mindful of the powerful riptide when swimming in the ocean. Its close proximity to Fuerteventura airport makes it a great spot to visit."
Jenny Crowley
"I visited the beach in the middle of the day and I had it all to myself - it was quite peaceful. Unfortunately, there was a lot of seaweed in the water, but it was still quite rough that day. What I liked the most about this beach is that it is easily accessible."
