The beach in Fuerteventura is great - it has a pleasant yellow sand with golden hues, and the clean turquoise waters of the Atlantic make it ideal for swimming. The shore has a good slope, making it safe for everyone to enjoy, and you can sunbathe and swim in the nude, as is common in Fuerteventura. It's no surprise that many people travel to the island for its beautiful beaches, stunning natural beauty and warm climate. On hot summer days, the beach is sometimes a little windy, but the warm breeze is actually quite pleasant and the stone barriers provide some shelter from the sand. I had a wonderful time at this beach, and I'm sure many other beaches in Fuerteventura are just as amazing, so I would highly recommend it.

This place is a lovely spot, especially the northern end which is less windy than places like Sotavento. The water is crystal clear and the slope is gentle. It's usually quite peaceful and there are only a few naturists, but we were lucky enough to have the whole beach to ourselves one day. Plus, it's easily accessible!
