Beach overall scores
Playa de la Solapa (Las Palmas) is located outside the Ajuy 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
"We've visited around a dozen beaches on the island, but this one is the best! It's quite small but has plenty of rocks and hidden spots. It's also incredibly intimate, magical, and intriguing - every day feels different. It's mostly visited by locals, and we hope it stays that way. To get here, you'll need to take a gravel road (which is in great condition) for around 3 km."

"Easily accessible and boasts a stunning black sand beach, which was featured in the Disney movie Eternals. What's more, it has free public entry, making it an ideal spot for a day out."
