Beach overall scores
Playa del Viento (Las Palmas) region (Jandia sub-region) is located outside the Casas de Gran Valle 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, 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
"It's a stunning location with hardly any people around, and it's usually quite windy, which is why it's called that way."
Barry Garcia
"We stumbled upon the beach by chance and were amazed by what we saw. It was a beautiful combination of white and black sand, along with volcanic stones. If you head towards the right, you'll discover some truly unique coves to explore."
