Positive experience: Beautiful sandy beach, but very crowded and hard to park.
Positive experience: Beautiful small and clean cove. You can find parking here, as well as sports facilities and bars. Ideal for a short walk. At the end of the cove, there is an old bunker and a viewpoint. However, you should bring suitable footwear. It's not as nice as Playa de Jandia. Let's see how the beach in Esmeralda Cove is, where we are vacationing in the summer.
Positive experience: Beach less windy than others. Easily accessible and close to shops, restaurants, and more. Great for going with the little one. Ours had a blast playing with the squirrels.
Fantastic experience: Very well-kept, fine sand and transparent water. Easy access.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach easily accessible

Positive experience: Una de las playas más turísticas en la isla ya que la Costa Calma es uno de los núcleos turísticos mas importantes en Fuerteventura. Amplia playa con finísima arena blanca, una mezcla de arenas blancas organogenias y restos de la descomposición de diversos sustratos volcánicos. El agua es turquesa, transparente y bastante tranquila, lo que permite practicar buceo. La playa cuenta con todos los servicios, zonas deportivas y socorrista. Costa Calma es muy amplia: más de dos mil metros de longitud con una anchura que puede llegar hasta los trescientos metros, lo que le permite de acoger a gran número de turistas. Los alrededores cuentan con una flora interesante, ya que en los años 80 se ha plantado una gran cantidad de casuarinas, los albores procedentes de Australia. Nos ha gustado, pero menos que otras playas de la Isla que son mucho menos frecuentadas.
Positive experience: Playa turística por la cercanía de los apartamentos. No muy recomendable si quieres estar tranquilo, dispone de hamacas y sombrillas a buen precio y desde allí se pueden apreciar unas puestas de sol espectaculares. A demás en esta zona en un centro comercial está la mejor pizza de Fuerteventura

Fantastic experience: A lovely beach, a mixture of black sand and the usual stuff, a step down due to the tidal influence. Great for a walk with a rocky area at each end but passable at low tide. The Southern end seems to attract a nudist crowd. There are 2 beach bars on the sand which serve decent food and drink at good prices based on the location. A mix of all nationalities which is perfect - enjoy
Fantastic experience: Beautiful long sandy beach, not too crowded with sunbeds and generally well kept clean.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach. No stones in the water, but very windy. Sand keeps flying into your face and no fish in the water.
Positive experience: Beautiful sandy beach, but very crowded and hard to park.

Positive experience: Beautiful long stretch of beach. Not crowded even at this time of year. There are also some small restaurants.
Fantastic experience: You can rent a umbrella and 2 sunbeds for the whole day for €15. There are bathrooms, lifeguards, and showers. There are also 2 beach bars.
Positive experience: Beach less windy than others. Easily accessible and close to shops, restaurants, and more. Great for going with the little one. Ours had a blast playing with the squirrels.
Fantastic experience: Absolute dream beach! White sand, no stones, gently sloping into the water. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available on-site for the usual price. Beach bars invite you in the background. Public toilets are available but unfortunately too few. The tidal range is about 140 cm. The monitored beach is very clean and invites for a carefree beach day.

Fantastic experience: Sehr schöner Strand mit Rettungsschwimmer und unendlicher Weite. Alles soweit sauber, nur wenig Müll - ab und an eine Plasteflasche oder eine Zigarette. Trotzdem sauber. Durch die Gezeiten ändert sich der Weg zum Meer recht wenig, das Aussehen aber schon.

Fantastic experience: Good beach, the water is very clean.
Fantastic experience: Very clean beach ⛱️
Positive experience: Very nice beach, I personally preferred the part of the beach that was further south because the water there was a nice blue, almost turquoise, and there were no stones (like in the northern part). Two sunbeds with an umbrella cost 15 euros, which is the usual price there.

Fantastic experience: Very large beach especially popular for kite surfing. Very windy beach but very beautiful. A part is exclusively reserved for athletes and not for casual bathers.
Fantastic experience: Quiet area. Barca Beach, with two hotels and a wonderful landscape. Long sandy beach. Kitesurfing or just enjoying walks and the scenery. If you like photography, you have many opportunities here.
Fantastic experience: I have visited Costa Calma many times, and I just love it. René Egli surf school is nearby, which is super great. I will come back.
Fantastic experience: Went there for the PBW Windsurfing world cup. This beach is just gourgeous with a colourful beautiful sea.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and very wide beach with spectacular view on the mountains (or whatever this is - volcanos?). Few beach bars and windsurfing school. Everyone will find something for themselves. I totally recommend visiting!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, clean sea, particularly suitable for families. The water is shallow at first, allowing children to swim peacefully. All services are available, such as restrooms, restaurants, sunbeds, and umbrellas for rent, and a lifeguard service. Be careful with the phenomenon of high and low tide, as the beach reduces in size. The beach is especially suitable for swimming and snorkeling; you will find many fish, and the water temperature is not even too low. The only negative point is that we found an abandoned construction site right on the beach, which I must say ruins everything as it is located at the very end of the beach, under the hotel.
Positive experience: La platja és gran i neta. Ens hem trobat amb un dia molt ventós, pel que hi havia força onatge, la fina sorra se't percola per tot arreu i fa sensació de fred. No és un bon lloc on fer snorkel.
Fantastic experience: Great beach for swimming and relaxing. Windsurfers are farther away at Sotavento and this part of the coast can be used freely by regular people. Great sandy sea which is super clear and suitable for snorkeling too. I’ve even seen a giant fish longer than a meter just a few meters away from the coast!
