Beach overall scores
Playa de la Turbia (Las Palmas) region (Jandia sub-region) is located outside the Puerto de la Cruz 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
"That place is more tranquil than chaotic. It offers a serene atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. Its rustic charm makes it an ideal spot for those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Gianni Riccardo Moretti
"Callao Beach is a popular destination for surfers, bugeros, and kitesurfers due to its consistent waves. It has a rocky seabed and is relatively shallow, but the strong currents coming from the Atlantic can be dangerous. Unfortunately, the same currents also bring in microplastics, making it difficult to clean up the beach."
