Beach overall scores
Playa del Matorral (Las Palmas) region (Jandia sub-region) is located outside the Piedras Caidas 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 Matorral 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 great beach is located at the very south of the island, providing a bit of protection from the wind. made of long, sandy shores, and is backed by a salt marsh and the main Morro Jable road. The beach stretches from here all the way into town and up to Butihondo, and offers basic amenities for visitors."
Jane Tomlinson
"That place is absolutely massive - I had to look at the maps to get an idea of the size before I went, and even then I was surprised when I arrived. It only took me five minutes to walk from the car park to the beach, but it was only then that I could really appreciate how expansive it was. There were bars, sunbeds, a lighthouse, and plenty of sand to soak up the sun."
