About Fuerteventura

At first glance, the diversity of the beaches of the Fuerteventura does not have a prominent distinctive feature. There is no clear predominance of mountain landscapes or crystal sea, on the contrary, everything seems balanced. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the flow of tourists continues to grow from year to year.

Latest reviews on Fuerteventura's beaches

Playa de Esquinzo
8 Sebastian Marlowe

This place is a lovely spot, especially the northern end which is less windy than places like Sotavento. The water is crystal clear and the slope is gentle. It's usually quite peaceful and there are only a few naturists, but we were lucky enough to have the whole beach to ourselves one day. Plus, it's easily accessible!

Beach Jarugo
6 Nicoleta Cosmatu

This place is a great place to soak up the sun until the sun sets. The sand is soft and the waves are big, and the views are breathtaking. The roads are a bit bumpy, but it's worth the journey!

Playa de Butihondo
10 Maximilian Steinberg

This is an excellent beach.

Playa de Vigocho
6 Christina Belohradska

This spot is a real treat for the eyes! You can take in the stunning view of the Atlantic, making for a truly unforgettable experience. The sand is soft and inviting, and the waves are perfect for a refreshing dip. It's an ideal spot to relax and soak up some sun.

Playa de Esquinzo
6 Alfonso Alvarez

For me, it's probably one of the wildest beaches in the world. Getting there can be a challenge, but it's worth it for the unbeatable surfing and snorkeling when the wind isn't too strong.

Playa del Aguila
8 Johnathan Smith

This beach is a true paradise. It's a fantastic place to soak up the sun and relax in the sand. Although it can be difficult to access due to the steep stairs leading down the cliff, it's well worth the effort. The beach is usually quite empty, making it the perfect spot to get away from it all.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 14 beaches in the island, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the island is September - air temperature during this time warms up to 22.9°C and water up to 23°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 18.4°C and water to 19°C.
