As the warmth of spring continues to spread across Europe, thoughts of how one will spend their summer holidays are beginning to run through the minds of many, as many employers are beginning to request that their workers put in for their time off in the months ahead.

Looking through the papers and online, you may have noticed some deals on flights to Fuerteventura, and this has gotten the wheels in your head turning. Being home to a wide selection of amazing beaches, Fureteventura allows people of all sorts to enjoy their time in the sun, no matter their interests.

In the following paragraphs, we will play matchmaker between you, the sand craving public, and the best beaches in Fuerteventura. Let’s get started!

For families: Costa Calma

For those bringing along an entourage of little people on their holiday to Fuerteventura, basing your beach bumming activities along the sandy shores of Costa Calma is a sure way to ensure a happy holiday for all involved. The list of amenities is considerable, as restaurants, resorts, and stores containing supplies and provisions are all well within reach, and with 1.5 kilometers of wide sand available to spread a blanket and plant a sun umbrella, you’ll have plenty of room to enjoy the outstanding natural environment available here.

Another point in Costa Calma’s favor is that its sheltered location knocks down wave heights (Fuerteventura is notorious for big swells), making it much safer for your kids to splash around here than anywhere else on the island.

For those wanting to escape the crowds: Isla de Lobos

If solitude in the midst of awe-inspiring nature is what you seek from your Fuerteventura holiday, then taking a boat trek to the nearby island of Isla de Lobos will prove to be a fruitful endeavour. This isle is mostly an outcropping of volcanic rock in ocean off the main island, measuring a meek 4 square kilometers in size.

But this place contains a delicious white sand beach, numerous tidal pools with a soft sandy bottom, and excellent opportunities for awesome snorkeling and diving adventures. All of this takes places far from the frenetic pace of the main tourist areas, making it a must for the traveling introvert.

For those looking for a romantic long stroll on the beach: Playa de El Cofete

Couples seeking a romantic recharge after a hectic winter spent suffering in dismal weather and equally dismal workloads will find many secluded beaches on Fuerteventura.

However, there is perhaps no beach quite as spectacular as Playa de El Cofete, which is difficult to access, as passage is only available via a rutted trail, but with tall mountains in the background, a wild ocean pounding upon the beach with unimaginable ferocity, and fewer people within sight than fingers on your hands, it is a voyage well worth it.

Linger here and soak up the energy of this place, but don’t tell anybody else about this special beach … it’s our little secret!
