What to see in Corralejo: dunes, beaches, and natural park

The first thing to see in Corralejo Fuerteventura is its natural dune park: eight kilometers of fine white sand extending south from the urban center, declared a Natural Park in 1982 and protected since then from any construction. The dunes are the most iconic landscape of the island and one of the most unique in all of Europe, with colors changing from white to gold depending on the time of day.

In addition to the dunes, what to see in Corralejo has a broad response. The port is the first scenario: from here ferries to Lanzarote depart several times a day, there are whale watching tours, and catamarans to the islets. The urban area, around the Plaza de Nuestra Señora del Carmen, retains a fishing village atmosphere with local product restaurants, an artisan market on Fridays and Saturdays, and a lively yet accessible nightlife. On the other hand, the beaches of the natural park —Grandes Playas, El Moro, La Concha— offer kilometers of sand without constructions on the front line.
