User reviews
"That place is stunningly gorgeous, but it's not the best place for a dip. Rocks and seaweed make it a no-go for swimming - so it's more of a place to admire than to splash around in."
Emily James
"Gazing out at Lobos Island, the beach is a sight to behold. It's a great spot for water sports, so be sure to check the tide table before visiting. At low tide, the shore reveals a unique landscape of popcorn formations, making for a pleasant stroll."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Playa Punta Prieta (Fuerteventura) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Playa Punta Prieta (Fuerteventura) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Playa Punta Prieta for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
