Things to Do in Fuerteventura: Complete 2026 Guide
Endless white beaches, water sports, Isla de Lobos and the wild Jandía peninsula — your guide to Fuerteventura.
10 min read
Beaches & water sports
Fuerteventura has the best beaches in the Canary Islands — kilometre-long stretches of white sand and turquoise water. Corralejo dunes are the most famous, but Sotavento beach on the Jandía peninsula is spectacular for kitesurfing. The near-constant trade winds make this Europe's top wind sports destination.
Isla de Lobos day trip
A short ferry from Corralejo, Isla de Lobos is a tiny volcanic island and nature reserve with hiking trails, a lagoon and empty beaches. Daily visitor numbers are capped so booking ahead is essential. The crossing itself often passes dolphins and pilot whales.
Cofete & the wild west
The Jandía peninsula's western tip is one of the most remote places in the Canaries. The rough track to Cofete beach is an adventure in itself — dramatic mountains meet wild Atlantic surf. Do not assume a standard rental car is permitted on this road: check the supplier's written conditions. An organised 4x4 tour avoids risking contract exclusions and adds the hidden viewpoints along the way.
