Best Beaches El Cotillo

Piedra Playa

This Cotillo beach is a 5-min walk from the city center, it’s a long stretch of sandy beach coveted by cliffs and facing the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean. In winter, waves can get really big and scary here, as they break very close to the shore and originate in the deep end of the Atlantic. On small days, it is a good beginner beach break Fuerteventura

La Concha

In our eyes, playa de la Concha is one of the most beautiful beach in Fuerteventura north. This coveted beach welcomes calm water, white sand and a tropical vibe.

Playa de Esquinzo

Definitely one of the best sunset spot Fuerteventura, playa de Esquinzo is a magnificent beach surrounded by high cliffs and facing the full force of the Atlantic swell.
