A golden sandy beach and surfing in the north of Fuerteventura

On an island like Fuerteventura, where the coastline is nothing but beaches, Esquinzo simply adds to a unique offering with the added attributes of its status as a wild haven, a mecca for surfers and a haven of peace and sunshine. Lots of sunshine. In the town of La Oliva, nestled amidst the rugged northern coast—far less visited and largely unknown—this enclave offers a respite from the landscape. The volcanic black gives way once more to golden sand, swimming and the signature azure ocean. The island’s signature.

A paradise beach for swimming in La Oliva

A paradise beach near El Cotillo, its sand is reached via the spectacular bed of a ravine. As if it were a river estuary, this beach captivates the eye with its flat expanses behind a barrier of rocks. The contrast is heightened between the dark cliffs and the three large mounds of fine sand shaped by the wind. Otherwise, and if the waves allow, pure freedom at one of the go-to spots for those who want not just sun, sand and sea, but to feel truly authentic.
