Are you staying at Bahiazul and unsure which beach would be the best for you? We’ve prepared a selection of the most beautiful beaches near Bahiazul Resort Fuerteventura. Let’s take a look!
1. Grandes Playas de Corralejo
Here you’ll find miles of white sandy beaches with crystal-clear turquoise waters. Grandes Playas de Corralejo is a place you definitely can’t miss. A large part of the beaches is located in the Parque Natural de las Dunas de Corralejo (Dunes Natural Park), which is a spectacular natural area.
Which beach to choose?
Burro Beach, Playa del Moro, or Bajo Negro Beach are the best options for families and have lifeguard services. Flag Beach, the closest to Corralejo, is ideal for those who enjoy water sports such as kitesurfing or windsurfing.
2. Playa Vista Lobos
Playa Vista Lobos, also known as Popcorn Beach, is one of the most unique beaches in northern Fuerteventura. Instead of sand, it has white algae fossils that resemble real popcorn.
It’s just a 5-minute drive from Bahiazul, or a 30-minute walk. We suggest visiting at high tide for easier access to the water.
This beach is located in a small lagoon, so there are no currents, making it safe for children.
Please remember that the “popcorn” is protected. DO NOT take them home. Nature will thank you!
3. City Beach Waikiki
City Beach Waikiki is located close to the seafront of Corralejo. This bay is well-protected from the wind, waves, and currents, making it safe for children and beginner swimmers. Around Waikiki Beach, you will find many restaurants where you can enjoy beautiful views of Lobos while having lunch or a refreshing cocktail.
If you’re interested in exploring more of Fuerteventura, we suggest a trip to Cotillo. There, you’ll discover a completely different landscape with cliffs, natural pools, and lagoons:
4. Cotillo Piedra Playa
Piedra Playa, located in Cotillo, is a spot for water sports enthusiasts. Here you can try your hand at surfing, kitesurfing, and windsurfing.
