Beach overall scores
Playa del Castillo (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 del Castillo 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
"That place is a great spot to take the family. With the shallow waters stretching far out, it's a safe spot for the little ones to splash around. There's barely a wave in sight, so you can relax in the water without any worries. Plus, there's a snack bar, camel rides, and toilets for your convenience. If you want, you can even rent sun beds for only 10 euros for two, all day."

"We had an amazing week with the family at the beach. The weather was perfect and the beach was gorgeous. Unfortunately, there were some sharp pieces of shell here and there, but they weren't enough to ruin our fun. Thankfully, they didn't get into my sandals and cause any discomfort."
