Fuerteventura Information for Tourists and Resident Expats

Corralejo Fuerteventura

Corralejo is a tourist resort positioned on the northern tip of the second largest Canary Island - Fuerteventura. Transfer times from Fuerteventura airport to your property in Corralejo are about 40 minutes. As you enter Corralejo on your left you will see the Caderilla de Roja, which is one of the extinct volcanoes that created the island.

The Old Town

The Canarian old town is centred around the old fishing harbour, where you will find Playa la Clavellina, just one of many glorious beaches on the island.

Corralejo Marina

The modern marina plays host to both pleasure craft and the ferry services to both Lanzarote and Lobos, a small islet that is a 15 minute ferry journey from Fuerteventura. There are an assortment of trips aimed at tourists on holiday that operate from the harbour, and bookings for these can be made at one of the booths nearby.

Dune Life

Corralejo is famous for its sand dunes. The town is encircled by sand dunes and miles of sandy beaches that form a nature reserve. The beaches between Punta de Tivas and the Tres Islas hotels, called Playa del Pozo, Playa del Medano and Playa de Viejo, run in to each other and this sandy shore is sometimes called ‘Flag Beach’. The beaches are exposed to the breeze and this makes them ideal locations to pursue a wide variety of water sports.
