Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with fine sand. A large number of parking spaces along the road to Corralejo, access to the water is rather for swimmers. I recommend that children stay at Sotavento beach. It is definitely safer there. Nevertheless, this beach is a must-see on the island.
Fantastic experience: It is a very beautiful beach for wind sports, it is easy to park, as you leave the car on the same road and walk until you reach the shore. It seems like there is a long walk from the car to the beach, but there isn’t. It is a beach where you don’t have people next to you, because there are hardly any people around.
Fantastic experience: They are a set of kilometer-long beaches covered by dunes, and the access to the water has a small lake with a fossilized dune that creates a little waterfall or a tranquil lagoon.
Fantastic experience: I only write: go there. Ideal for those who love to surf. Suitable for children. Suitable for everyone. Clean. Free parking a short distance along the road.
Fantastic experience: Sandy beach with fine yellow sand and a beautiful view of the neighboring islands of Lobos and Lanzarote. The beach is supervised (lifeguard). You can park on the street and walk to the beach through the sea of sand.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely beautiful, after a 1 hour hike from Geafond to get there. Plenty of space and dogs are not a problem.
Fantastic experience: Spiaggia enorme, anche perché attaccata alle dune, il mare è molto bello con l’acqua limpida, è monto facile che ci sia vento ma non temete, ci sono i tipici rifugi da spiaggia costruiti con i sassi vulcanici per potervi riparare un po’ , sempre se ne trovate liberi. Il parcheggio per la spiaggia si trova a bordo strada e poi è un attimo per arrivare al mare.
Positive experience: Ubdicata appena si esce da corallejo verso puerto del Rosario,sulla.sinistra. Una delle.spiagge più belle di fuerteventura. Quasi 4 km di sabbia bianca/giallina in alcuni punti. Non.do 5 stelle perché come.al.solito.esiste gente (maleducata )che nonostante i divieti portano il loro cani,quando ci sono vari cartelli che lo vietano.e soprattutto non ci sono controlli a riguardo.....

Negative experience: Great beach, beautiful clear water, nice fine sand. Unfortunately, we got robbed at the beach today. They took all the cash from our pockets while we were in the water. So please be careful, so you don't spoil your day and impression of this scenically beautiful island with something like that.
Fantastic experience: Parking on the street and walking through small sand dunes to reach the beach, stunning because you can sit at the edge without being completely flooded by the waves, even though the wind is always present. Almost white sand, and almost deserted. This area is an oasis where it's just you and nature without too many people around. However, to get sunbeds with umbrellas, you need to go closer to the center of Corralejo.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic beach! Sea with turquoise colors, light sand, few people. One of the most beautiful beaches seen in Fuerteventura.
Fantastic experience: For us, a dreamy beautiful sandy beach and a must-have seen on the island
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, stunning sea made even more beautiful by the stunning white sand dunes.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic beach with very wide golden sand, there are no crowds. There are no bars or beach kiosks, so if you plan to spend the day, it is advisable to bring something to eat and drink. It is a beach where you are likely to encounter nudists, who usually take shelter in the enclosures where they have more privacy.
Positive experience: Wunderschöner Muschel-Sandstrand. Legendäre Sanddünen. Strandbars fehlen aktuell leider gänzlich.
Positive experience: Playa espectacular. No hay servicio de hamacas ni chiringuitos en la playa, una pena!!! Se están cargando el turismo en la zona.
Fantastic experience: Die Grandes Playas Corralejo liegen im Nordosten von Fuerteventura, unweit der Hafenstadt Corralejo. Hierzu gehören auf einer Länge von fast zehn Kilometern verschiedene Strände mit Dünen, die Teil des Naturparks sind. Teilweise gibt es eine Infrastruktur (Sonnenschirme, Liegen, Strandbars). An diesen Stränden liegen auch die beiden großen RIU-Hotels. Bei Sonnenschein schimmert das Meer oft in karibischem türkisgrün. Sehr schön ist der Blick auf die Insel Lobos.
Fantastic experience: Me.encanta esta playa! Es una pasada, tiene todo,chiringuito, tumbonas, olas y playa espectacular.

Negative experience: a beautiful beach where the lifeguard unfortunately ruins it for everyone!!! never experienced this before in any sea. Of course, a red flag means you have to be careful and you certainly don't go into the sea behind the surf. but as soon as you are up to your knees in water they start whistling that you are too deep. childish display of power that annoys many tourists. If you want to swim, stay away from here!
Fantastic experience: Crystal clear beaches, excellent for family gatherings, educated and attentive lifeguards
Fantastic experience: El Caribe en España. De las mejores playas que he visto en mi vida. Arena fina, aguas cristalinas. Socorristas, duchas,... increíble
Positive experience: Beautiful beach with miles of sand. Lifeguard huts along the beach. The day we visited it was very windy & the amber flag was up, which then changed to red. That should mean no one in the water but some people were still in near the edge jumping over the waves, including my family. No shelter from the hot sun. We didn’t have sun parasols but could’ve done with them, not only for sun but for he sharp sand blasting against us! Sea was colder than I expected at first but soon got used to it when the waves were slapping you. The sand was hot in some places. There were shower facilities along a wooden bridge off the beach.
Negative experience: Les plages derrière les dunes sont inaccessibles en voiture car la route est bloquée au nord au niveau du club hôtel RIU et au sud à 3 km environ de la fav-102 donc nous sommes très dèçus. Il y a un contrôle d’accès de sécurité pour empêcher l’accès aux touristes, l’information affichée est que les dunes auraient coupé la route. Mais tous les véhicules locaux peuvent passer!

Fantastic experience: There are few services here! Take food and water, sun lotion and a windbreaker if you have one but not necessary. Find a stone ring or secluded dune and enjoy your stay. Water is clear and warm in comparison to the UK. It's fine to sunbathe naked but be wary of the occasional taking sneaky pics.
Negative experience: Great beach, beautiful clear water, nice fine sand. Unfortunately, we got robbed at the beach today. They took all the cash from our pockets while we were in the water. So please be careful, so you don't spoil your day and impression of this scenically beautiful island with something like that.
Fantastic experience: The paradise exists, this is its version Sea. Paradise of water sports, truly speechless. There are circular stone shelters for the wind, incredible ocean waves.
Fantastic experience: Crystal clear waters, beautiful place
Fantastic experience: They are a set of kilometer-long beaches covered by dunes, and the access to the water has a small lake with a fossilized dune that creates a little waterfall or a tranquil lagoon.

Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Fuerteventura, ignoring the wind. The contrast of the landscape is stunning, the dunes of Corralejo, the turquoise color of the water, the Island of Lobos in the background, and the people practicing windsurfing and kitesurfing make it a fantastic postcard. I recommend it 300%.
Fantastic experience: I only write: go there. Ideal for those who love to surf. Suitable for children. Suitable for everyone. Clean. Free parking a short distance along the road.
Fantastic experience: So beautiful! Mega long. Very versatile. There are sections with great sand and then with stones and lava. Perfect for windsurfers.
Fantastic experience: Lovely place to sunbathe and swim. Loads of little rock shelters that people have built. Nice wave for learning to surf. All round a really nice beach to come and visit during your trip.

Fantastic experience: One of my favorite beaches, very loooong and very wide, frequented by kite and surfers, good vibes
Positive experience: Dunes, nice sand, good access. If you don't like looking at nudists, this beach is not for you. Overall, if it's photos, you could take a picture of any dune and it would all look the same. We drove here for 1.5 hours and I don't think it's worth it. There's wind, so it's a great spot for kitesurfing. There are no showers, so you'll end up like a breaded pork cutlet: salty and breaded.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach, definitely a must if you land on this splendid island of Fuerteventura. Like in many other beaches on the island, the wind is present, making it great for kite surfing. Parking is very easy, and just a short walk from the road leads you to this paradise.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. The colour of the ocean is amazing. Lots of kite surfers.

Fantastic experience: Sembra di essere nel Sahara! Dune alte e vaste dalla cui cima si gode tutta la spiaggia di Corralejo. Il paesaggio è suggestivo e diverso dal solito. Si parcheggia a bordo strada senza problemi, per arrivare alla spiaggia si cammina un po', in spiaggia quando c'è vento c'è il solito problema della sabbia volante, ma riparandosi si riesce a stare. Gira qualche nudista ma nulla di troppo fastidioso.

Fantastic experience: The beauty of these beaches continues to amaze me, even though I have visited them several times and have seen them in dozens of photos and videos. One of the wonders of our heritage. Even more spectacular if you go to enjoy the sunrise.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach
Fantastic experience: For me, it is the most beautiful beach in Corralejo.

Fantastic experience: Splendid beaches, a relaxing place for both young and old! Near it are the Dunes of Corralejo, truly spectacular, it's worth taking a little trip of an hour and a half since we were staying in Costa Calma, H10 Playa Esmeralda.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful, beautiful .... You have to see it to understand .... how do you explain the nuances? A painting!!!
Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches around.
Fantastic experience: Lovely beach and ocean. Had a great day with the family. The sun lounges on the beach was a good price, two loungers with umbrella €9. If in the area and don’t mind a day at the beach would recommend.
Fantastic experience: It's just magnificent
Fantastic experience: I made the round trip in one day from Playa Blanca. It's really worth it. The beach, the color of the water, and the landscape are absolutely fantastic!
Fantastic experience: Amazing
Fantastic experience: Very spacious and super beautiful beaches, with the backdrop of the dune park
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Fuerteventura, ignoring the wind.

Fantastic experience: Great place for water sports, hiking, or relaxing.
Fantastic experience: I only write: go there. Ideal for those who love to surf. Suitable for children. Suitable for everyone. Clean. Free parking a short distance along the road.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular beaches.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, but it was so windy that you couldn't even sit there.
Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches to walk on.
Positive experience: Nice beaches with dunes. There is usually a lot of wind, which makes it difficult to swim. But there are few people outside of the summer season. View of Lobos Island.
Fantastic experience: Stupendous
Positive experience: A large, beautiful beach with very clean water. There is also little trash around. Occasionally there are some rocks, but you can easily avoid them. I take away a star because it is usually unfortunately very windy, sometimes so much that you can hardly get into the water. So this is more of a warning than a criticism.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach in the Corralejo Dunes Park. In front of the beautiful island of Lobos (a must-visit), this splendid beach overlooks where you can do water sports or enjoy a nice relaxing bath. If there is wind or choppy sea, you can move a few hundred meters between the two Riu hotels. There it is more sheltered. Caribbean colors and crystal-clear ocean. It deserves a visit!!!
Fantastic experience: So beautiful! Mega long. Very versatile. There are sections with great sand and then with stones and lava. Perfect for windsurfers.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful. The only drawback is that it’s very touristy... In fact, it is a huge public beach. For those who love beaches that are a bit more refined, I suggest to look elsewhere. It’s okay for families and seniors.
Positive experience: Sandy, big
Fantastic experience: For me, the best on the Island. And I have practically visited them all.
Fantastic experience: A stunningly beautiful beach and a must-see for us
Fantastic experience: Sandy beach with fine yellow sand and a beautiful view of the neighboring islands of Lobos and Lanzarote. The beach is supervised (lifeguard). You can park on the street and walk to the beach through the sea of sand.
Fantastic experience: What an absolutely amazing beach, goes on for ages, the sand is soft and the sea is turquoise, the sea is too rough to swim in but an absolutely amazing experience to come here and spend the day. Be vigilant as old men like to walk around naked but other than that it's definitely something that everyone should see when coming to Fuerteventura. Honestly I seriously recommend that everyone comes and experiences this beach themselves. Great day out.
Fantastic experience: White sand and cobalt blue sea
Fantastic experience: Simply great, the photos say it all.
Positive experience: Fantastic beach, both for playing in the water and for walking.
Fantastic experience: Fine sand. A lovely beach, although the waves made it impossible to enter the sea.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic beach with very wide golden sand, there are no crowds. There are no bars or beach kiosks, so if you plan to spend the day, it is advisable to bring something to eat and drink.

Fantastic experience: Stunning location
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place
Fantastic experience: It's magnificent, the water is clear, it's the Spanish Caribbean with a view of the volcanoes and the blue water... Paradise.
Fantastic experience: One of my favorite beaches, very loooong and very wide, frequented by kite and surfers, good vibes
Positive experience: Super beach, unfortunately there is no shuttle bus there, you have to walk or take a taxi, which is not cheap, or ride a bike. You have to be careful with taxi drivers, they like to overcharge.
Positive experience: Dunes, nice sand, good access. If you don't like looking at nudists, this beach is not for you. Overall, if it's photos, you could take a picture of any dune and it would all look the same. We drove here for 1.5 hours and I don't think it's worth it. There's wind, so it's a great spot for kitesurfing. There are no showers, so you'll end up like a breaded pork cutlet: salty and breaded.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic beach, very large, turquoise water, you can see Lobos Island, golden sand. In some places you have to walk about 500m closer to the water over the dunes because the beach is part of a nature reserve and there is no road closer to it.
Fantastic experience: Incredible
Fantastic experience: I will never get tired of being on these beaches
Fantastic experience: Crystal clear beaches, excellent for family gatherings, educated and attentive lifeguards
Fantastic experience: Super views! Pleasant beach.
Fantastic experience: The best beach on the north-eastern coast
Fantastic experience: Good
Fantastic experience: A must-see, you absolutely have to go there.
Fantastic experience: A great place in Fuerteventura and definitely worth a visit, the dunes are very beautiful. At the beaches, you have to be careful during low tide, as there are sharp rocks in some areas of the water where you can easily cut your feet. In general, you should pay attention to the sometimes strong currents while swimming to avoid being pulled out to sea. If you want to stay at the beach for a while, it is advisable to bring a tent or find a free spot in one of the rocky coves because of the strong wind.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic beach, super clean and transparent water...
Fantastic experience: 5 minutes walk from the main road! Golden beach with international kite events in November! Excellent lifeguard service.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach, definitely a must if you land on this splendid island of Fuerteventura. Like in many other beaches on the island, the wind is present, making it great for kite surfing. Parking is very easy, and just a short walk from the road leads you to this paradise.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach....
Fantastic experience: Beach next to the Riu hotel in Fuerteventura is one of the best on the island, it has beautiful water, a lot of people, and a very good extensive beach.
Fantastic experience: Corralejo is famous for its stunning beaches in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands. The main beach, Playa de Corralejo, stands out for its golden sand and crystal-clear waters. It is perfect for swimming and water sports. Additionally, the Corralejo dunes offer a unique landscape that will transport you to another world. Don't forget to explore other nearby beaches such as Playa de Grandes Playas and Playa del Moro. With its natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere, Corralejo is an unforgettable beach destination.
Fantastic experience: Great beach with white sand and crystal clear waters, today we found low tide and were surprised by what the sea hides.
Fantastic experience: A spectacular beach, with turquoise waters and fine, clear sand. Nothing to envy from the Caribbean. Moreover, it's huge, so it is never overcrowded. There are more people in the area close to the hotels, but if you move away a bit, you'll find very quiet areas. And everything is surrounded by impressive dunes. A must-visit in Fuerteventura.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. The colour of the ocean is amazing. Lots of kite surfers.
Fantastic experience: A Beautiful Beach right outside of Corralejo. It is right in front of the “Dunes of Corralejo” which I also recommend and from the beach you can see the isla de lobos island which can be visited by ferry. The beach does also have many parking possibilities, so great with car too.
Fantastic experience: Very nose beach and water is very clean
Fantastic experience: Most beautifull place on earth, but be carefull with using showers located near RIU hotel. People say theres a bacteria in local water intake. This water intake most likely is common for hotel and showers. I splashed water on my face and felt really sick after 1 day. Just be carefull with water to avoid dying in toilet.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach. Went for the morning and had great time with the family. Water was too choppy for swimming but we had great fun close to shore in the water
Fantastic experience: Big beach, what more is there to say. Well, it certainly is, and on a sunny day, it feels more like an advertisement for the best of the Caribbean. The turquoise water is backed by white sand as far as the eye can see with views out to lobos and lanzarote beyond. This is not really a swimming beach as it is windy and relatively choppy. The beaches in Corralejo itself are better for that. This place is great for wind and kite surfing
Positive experience: Beautiful beach with miles of sand. Lifeguard huts along the beach. The day we visited it was very windy & the amber flag was up, which then changed to red. That should mean no one in the water but some people were still in near the edge jumping over the waves, including my family. No shelter from the hot sun. We didn’t have sun parasols but could’ve done with them, not only for sun but for he sharp sand blasting against us! Sea was colder than I expected at first but soon got used to it when the waves were slapping you. The sand was hot in some places. There were shower facilities along a wooden bridge off the beach.
Fantastic experience: Must visit of u around coralejo. Beautiful sandy beach
Positive experience: A mixed nudist and non-nudist beach. Don’t worry to much if your a bit prude. The beach stretches forever so you can escape the army of tanline-less Germans by moving away from the stone circles.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beach ir Fuerteventura. I was there when kite's festival was going on. It really was wonderful.
Fantastic experience: Great beach with extensive soft sand and great sea. However high winds particularly at this time of year in February can quickly bring out the 'Red Flags' and close down any swimming.
Fantastic experience: Nice. Warm. Spain is my love for holidays
Fantastic experience: Stunning beach, one of the best in the Canaries if not Europe
Fantastic experience: We drove here with a rented car as we stayed in Calleta de Fuste. Found the beach clean, white sand. A bit windy, but still a nice day sunbathing and swiming in the sea.
Fantastic experience: Top atraction of this islands . One of the most beautiful beaches I ever seen . Be careful of wind and enjoy spectacular views.
Fantastic experience: Lovely beech, bear in mind (families specaily with children) you might come across some naturists. It's better to find slightly busy spot on beech!
