Playa de Barlovento (Las Palmas) is located outside the Guisguey 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 de Barlovento 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

"The beach in Corralejo is truly amazing, especially after the dunes. The sand is golden and soft, and the waters are a beautiful turquoise. It's the perfect place to spend a day of relaxation and fun. The views are stunning and you can take in the sights of the ocean. The atmosphere is peaceful and inviting, making it a great spot for a day of relaxation and fun."

Enzo Moreno

"That place is a great place for both beginners and experienced surfers. It's a great spot to take on some small waves, or if you're feeling more daring, take on the bigger waves further out. Just be sure to watch out for the low tide to the left of the spot. It's not a place for the novice, so don't venture too far to the right."
