We were very fortunate as we spent 5 weeks (Nov/Dec) in the Riu Place Tres Islas, which is situated in the centre of Grandes Playas, the Dunas of Corralejo and the Natural Park. The impressive Grandes Playas de Corralejo spreads along the coast for almost 3 and a half kilometres and an average width of 60 metres. They sit within the 10 kilometres of beaches that sprawl from Corralejo to Parque Holandes. The main two beaches Playa el Viejo Playa Bajo Negro, are on either side of the hotel. They are the only 2 beaches that provided sunbeds and umbrellas for rent at €9 for 2 sun beds and an umbrella. There are volleyball nets on both beaches and a beach bar on El Viejo. Don't want to use the sunbeds then there is plenty of space to spread out towels on the golden sand. Smaller beaches also formed part of the Grandes Playas, there are no facilities on these beaches. Dotted along the beaches are man made stone circular walls, known as corralitos, which provide shelter from the winds that swirls around the beaches. The crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean wash the the shores. During our stay we did spent a number of days on the smaller beaches. We also walked along the beaches in both directions from the hotel. A walk along the beaches to Corralejo is a highlight. The smaller beaches are popular with naturists. The Natural Park of the Dunes of Corralejo, which includes the Grandes, was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in May 2009. There is plenty of car parking along the roadside.

Getting there is an adventure in its self A unsurfaced rough track with a few hairpin bends and big drops thrown in Did it in my people carrier so any vehicle can do it Check your hire car allows off-road use as some track you and charge! The beach and views when there amazing There is a restaurant in Cofete so you can get away with taking food and drinks with you My only advice is get back before it gets dark !

Without question some of the best stretch of coastline in Fuerteventura. It has miles of beach walking available with good beach bars, toilets and facilities are along. The beach is spotless with good swimming conditions. There’s plenty of shops, bars & restaurants off it with quaint old town in Morro del JABO to the right as you look at the ocean. Well worth a visit, it’s stunning.

Amazing sand dunes... tranquil perfection... either choose sun beds or walk a little further to you own piece of heaven ... windbreaker / umbrella needed if sitting on towels and sand ... a cheeky little beach bar ...but better to take a picnic. Coast guards run the coast line ... if you are on a part with no station they still come over in beach buggies every so often. Blue flag amazing sands, sea and crashing waves good for dipping in a toe, wind surfing, kite surfing or surfing. It is a vast area so you can easily find a secluded spot. Get taxi/ bus to the two Rui hotels, turn right on beach and keep walking. Great day of sun and relaxation.

We just got back from the island totally thrilled. Just 10 min by water taxi and you land on the little volcanic paradise that has stunning views from the montaña de caldera, relaxing sandy beach and hiking routes through the stunning volcanic landscape mixed with dunes that end up on the lighthouse. Even though it was a windy January day we could fully enjoy the island and it’s beauty. Though snorkelling was not possible due to cold weather and rough ocean. Very much recommended if you want to escape touristy parts of main island.

The southern end of this beach was just a couple of minutes from our hotel, and we loved being able to go down to the beach most days. The water is colder in February than say October, but there is plenty of sand and room for everyone. Facilities are limited on the beach but there are plenty of cafes etc nearby.

Beautiful lagoons with crystal clear water and amazing, sandy beaches one end, great for kids. Walk along towards the lighthouse and it gets much more rugged and very rocky, making it a little more difficult getting into the water. Lovely walk from main beach to the lighthouse.

Reviewed By FilipWalraeve - Loppem, Belgium
It's a long sandy beach, more then 4 km, with a huge Laguna, which is empty at low tide. So, at low tide you can have fantastic hikes over the sandbanks. This area is luckely protect for nature. So no hotels or houses in this unique landscape shaped by the ocean and the wind. During summer time the wind can be very hard. So, not so nice for a hike, but fantastic for windsurfing and kiting.

The access to caves when the tide is low is quite something. The beach is good and the sunsets are awesome. Getting there by car is not a problem.
