Fuerteventura is one of the seven Canary Islands, as Lanzarote’s sister, they share a spectacular geography an arid moonscape scenario. Just 97 kms of Africa, is the second largest of the Canaries, has a length of nearly 326 km coastline of which 77 are white sand beaches with crystalline waters.
Fuerteventura is the island with most beaches in the area, thereby making it a perfect setting for water sports, especially for beginners surfers. All the towns up north are full of Schools, surf shops, surf camps, where you can hire, rent surfboards, wetsuits, etc…
Strong winds are on the other side of the island, which force you always to look at the Surf Report; for the right coastline or surf spot that works better with the wind and the swell of the day. The North coast, very exposed to the north and northwest swells presents dozens of lava reef breaks. The West has countless beach breaks for surf near Cotillo. Down South, the Island is a gem of waves that rarely works, only with large swells and high periods.
