A trip to Fuerteventura, in october2016
You can reach this beach by car, along a dirty road, in 5 minutes starting from El Cotillo and going North-East.
The water is shallow, it is windy but there are almost no waves. There is a sort of volcanic reef, that made the sea just like a pool. A very big one.

The park of Dunes de Corralejo is a vast area south of Corralejo, where the sand is king. It is about ten KM of coast where you can see nothing but dunes (except for two big and horrible hotels).
Los lagos beach is almost inside El Cotillo village. its a white sand beach, with calm waters and black volcanic rocks, with just a little wind.

Ajuy beach is located on the west coast, almost midway between Jandia peninsula and El Cotillo. It is a black sand beach.
To get there you have to drive along a canyon and oasis, which are worth a quick visit.
Beach position and conformation keep the wind away. It is one of the hottest place i’ve found in fuerteventura.
Cofete is a large and wild beach located on the North coast of the Jandia peninsula. You only options to get there are a dirty road or paths.
By car it takes about 1 hour and more than 18km of dirty road from Jandia.

It leads you in the Burranco de Las Damas/Gran valle, up to a pass that separate the north from the south coast. You can even go there by foot, it is “only” an 11km walk back and forth.
If you decide to go there by bike, please note that is a difficult road. not dangerous, but depending on your skill, you may have to get off the bike for 2/4km of the total. At the top of the hill, you’re likely to find a strong wind. It rised my bike and moved it, so be careful. But 100m over the top everything gets easier.
