Sahara style dunes and beaches
Endless stretches of soft, sun-bleached sands fringe Fuerteventura's entire coastline, the dazzling white sands best seen at Jandia where they stretch unbroken for 32km. Fuerteventura's largest resort of Corralejo boasts over 10km of golden beach adjoining the soft undulating peaks of its dune nature reserve whilst Caleta de Fuste in a sheltered location on the east coast is renowned for its horseshoe sandy bay, fringed with shady palms.
Surfing hot spots
The best Atlantic swells crash Fuerteventura's shoreline throughout the autumn and winter months. Surfing communities flourish across the island with the north shores littered with infamous wave spots. With names such as Suicides, the Bubble and the Shooting Gallery, these waves are not for the fainthearted and novices are advised to pick their spots carefully and maybe also some tips from one of the many surf schools.

Superb diving
Growing in popularity as a dive destination, Fuerteventura's volcanic activity has shaped a submarine landscape of fascinating lava rivers, caves and arches, the black rock formations contrasting starkly with the bright white sand. A comfortable year-round water temperature, clear visibility and abundant fish add to the attraction. Dive schools are many and sights with such descriptive sobriquets as Twin Peaks, Boat Graveyard, Dead Dog and Black Treasure Reef give a clear idea of what to expect.
Sightseeing in Fuerteventura
Beaches, surfing and diving are not all that Fuerteventura has to offer. You can also take a cruise around the Canary Islands, discover traditional Canarian heritage and go on a jeep safari!
