Esquinzo Beach

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach. Spacious.

Fantastic experience: Isolated beach accessible by a track or a coastal path from El Cotillo. Mostly frequented by surfers. Overlooking parking. On nice days, almost crowded... Atmosphere of locals.

Fantastic experience: Crazy place and wonderful beach, with not very easy access, narrow path and a couple of jumps, difficult for strollers and wheelchairs.

Fantastic experience: The best beach in Fuerteventura ☀️

Positive experience: Difficult access. Not recommended with small children.

Fantastic experience: Super beautiful but difficult access both by car and on foot when going down to the beach. It's definitely worth it though.

Fantastic experience: Terribly beautiful beach.

Fantastic experience: Fine sand. Quiet and beautiful, better to go at low tide.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with a lot of waves

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place!

Fantastic experience: Very nice, with wind in July and the water is cold.

Positive experience: The beach is quite isolated, although not pristine. Many people come looking for waves to surf. When the tide is high, there isn't much beach left, but when it's receding, it's a delight. The descent is a bit difficult. Not recommended for people with walking problems or the elderly. There's some wind, but no more than at other points on the island.

Fantastic experience: Amazing beach, sheltered from the wind a bit. Great for surfing. They should build the stairs as right now the path towards the beach is a bit dangerous.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular

Fantastic experience: Very nice beach, nude and clothed is not a problem, access to the beach via a small path.

Fantastic experience: An stunning exceptional view

Fantastic experience: For me, the most beautiful beach on the island with few people and sheltered from the wind. Unfortunately, getting to the beach put our rented car to the test since you have to go through a dirt road full of stones. The map directions are unclear.

Fantastic experience: Wild beach between cliffs. The waves crash so you can't hear it and create a salty mist that gives the beach a mysterious and strange atmosphere. The contact with nature is total. There are usually not many people. You have to make trails to get there. The descent is not entirely easy.

Fantastic experience: A very nice beach, appealing for surfers, but also totally fine for swimming. If the waves aren’t too high, there’s no problem at all. The best part is that it’s relatively sheltered from the wind. There are several small coves and a few trees, as well as a small stream. Next highlight are the little Atlas squirrels that occasionally dart across the beach (especially on the left side when you come down). The way there is a bit cross-country, but there are really only two or three paths that cross each other, otherwise it’s very easy if you just look at Google satellite images or simply follow your nose.

Fantastic experience: A dreamlike cove, if you don't mind the descent down. With small children, this is definitely not recommended. For all surfers, you can actually have real luck with the waves here when it is closing out at all the other spots.

Fantastic experience: I reached the beach on a cloudy day with very strong wind. The beach is the kind I like, in line with the wild part of Fuerteventura. Kilometers of dirt road to get there, few signs, and finally the beach...isolated, wild. The day made it seem gloomy and a bit frightening, with huge waves torturing it, the wind blowing and hissing against the cliffs, the black sky. Despite all this, the beauty of the place prevailed. I was with my family, with two small children. I didn't feel comfortable letting them go down the small path in certain very steep and crumbly points with the wind making me lose my balance. I just went down myself to check the feasibility of the path... I will definitely return, on a better day.

Fantastic experience: Perhaps the most beautiful beach in Fuerteventura, definitely one with ideal waves for surfing and also for swimming, for those who enjoy high waves. Moreover, it always has a pleasant wind. Definitely a recommendation on the west coast of Fuerteventura.

Fantastic experience: Very worthwhile beach and popular with surfers. The drive along the gravel road is a bit bumpy but definitely manageable with a rental car.

Positive experience: About half of the photos posted here do not show this small cove surrounded by high cliffs, which is perfect for surfers and located in the northwest of the island, but were taken at the same-named beach at the other end of the island in the southeast (also Esquinzo, but a bit above Morro Jable and Jandia). Therefore: All pictures with fancy hotels and wide beaches do not belong here but to the other end of the island! It's astonishing how many people fly to Fuerte and then cannot place on the map where they have actually been.

Fantastic experience: Hello, I will also be in Morro Jable for 4 weeks again in January 2024. I enjoy walking on the beach on Sundays to the Beach Bar Atalaya at Playa Esquinzo. (At low tide, a very beautiful 6.5 kilometers on the beach - round trip 13 km) But it is worth it. Because of the beautiful walk but also because of the nice beach bar. They have good food (I love the prawns with garlic bread), cold beer, friendly and attentive staff. And on Sundays, there is often great live music starting around 2 PM. The guys are really good. I will gladly return next Sunday. Best regards, Frank Koop. Hello - I just realized that I reviewed the beach 'Esquinzo Playa' near the Robinson Club (close to Caretta Beach near Butihonda). Sorry - but it's also called Esquinzo Playa - I will visit the other one in the next few days with the rental car. Best regards, Frank Koop.

Fantastic experience: Small cove with high rock walls and beautiful, soft sand. The descent is a bit difficult like the access, but the beach is well suited for surfers. The waves come in regularly thanks to the stone slab. There are often campers parked overnight at the upper parking area. The view is fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful!!!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome beach for surfing. You park on the top of the cliff and you go down to the beach. It's good to have some shoes because you need to climb a little bit, but it's possible also with flip flops. The road to the parking lot is rough in some places.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, not very easy to reach as the road is unpaved, but still accessible by car. On November 7, 2023, the wind was very strong but there were still people on the beach.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful

Fantastic experience: Esquinzo Beach in Fuerteventura is a true hidden gem that I was fortunate to discover during my trip to the island. This beach is an extraordinary place, perfect for those seeking a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The golden sand of Esquinzo Beach is incredibly fine, and its stretch seems endless. The waters of the Atlantic lapping at the shore are a crystalline blue, inviting long swims or simply relaxing on the beach. One of the things I loved most about this beach is its tranquil and uncrowded atmosphere. Here you can truly unwind and enjoy the peace and serenity of the place. It’s perfect for relaxing while reading a book, taking a walk along the shore, or simply contemplating the infinite ocean horizon. During my visit, I was also fortunate to witness a spectacular sunset on the beach. The orange and pink colors painted in the sky as the sun descended on the horizon were truly breathtaking, a moment that will remain etched in my memory forever. Esquinzo Beach is the ideal place to escape from daily stress and reconnect with nature. It’s not as crowded as some of the other more famous beaches in Fuerteventura, which makes it even more special. I highly recommend this destination to anyone looking for a tranquil and charming refuge on the island. It will be hard to forget the beauty of Esquinzo Beach, and I can’t wait to return.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach, difficult access but worth it!!

Fantastic experience: Magical

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place, beautiful volcanic cliff and huge rocks by the shore where the waves crash, with a view of the open Atlantic. The sandy beach is great for swimming and playing in the waves. When it comes to swimming, there are quite strong rip currents; after 15 seconds of swimming in deeper water, you find yourself involuntarily 10 m further from the shore, and returning takes a lot of effort and time.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful little beach. Waves reach directly to the shore. Not really suitable for swimming but great for surfers. To get there, a very bumpy 'road' must be traveled. Since the beach is at the foot of the cliff, climbing is necessary. Definitely not suitable for people with walking difficulties.

Positive experience: Dramatic untamed natural beach, ideal for dreaming time away in isolation. Good flat walk along the coastal path from el cotillo approximately 1 hour.

Positive experience: The road to that place is really rocky and quite long distance if compared with the destination itself. You should prepare swimming gear and shade. The views is fantastic but nothing to do if you are not surfing or swimming or beaches.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful and secluded cliff-side beach. You have to take a dirt road from where Google Maps takes you, but then you come to a parking lot that overlooks the beach from the top of the cliffs. A fairly easy walk down, my wife and I made it to the bottom without much difficulty while wearing sandals. The currents are very strong and there are many rocks in the water by the shore, so not great for swimming, but I’m sure it’s great for surfing. Bring water and umbrellas as there was limited shade, especially in the afternoon. Overall a beautiful beach; well-worth the drive and short climb.

Fantastic experience: Great view and perfect for different levels of surfers. Beginners can enjoy a long beach break, while intermediate and pros can easily paddle through the waves to where bigger waves can be taken. Landscape is Breathtaking.

Fantastic experience: For me it’s probably one of the best beaches in the world. Savage, isolated, difficult access. Great for surfing and snorkeling when not windy

Fantastic experience: Perfect to surf. Great views from the top of the cliff. A bit hard to get by - long, rocky road, so be careful :)

Positive experience: Really beautiful beach. Ideal for swimming and surfing even with lots of stones in the water. Definitely recommendable.

Fantastic experience: Good scenic find! A bit off the road, down a bumpy path and then hike down to the beach. It's a bit less windy, protected by winds and a great place to chill on the sand or surf.
