Fuerteventura Beaches for January

Caleta de Fuste Beach

Caleta de Fuste Beach is one of the best beaches in Fuerteventura for families with small children. The crescent-shaped bay is made up of soft, golden sand imported from the Sahara which gently shelves into the clear blue sea. Thanks to the shape of this bay, the shore is well-protected from large waves, which means it's almost always calm and safe enough for swimming in.

The only thing you need to watch out for is the tide it tends to come in very quickly and if you lie your towel down too close to the shore, it could easily get washed away! Here you'll find all the usual facilities and services, include sun loungers and parasols available to hire, showers and plenty of water sports, including scuba diving, snorkelling, sailing and boat trips. Along the seafront you'll also find restaurants, shops, bars and entertainment venues.

El Charci de Bristol

If you'd rather visit a beach with natural Canarian sand, spend a day at El Charco de Bristol. This beach is made up of fine, golden sand which spans 100m by 30m along the coast of La Oliva. Although the sea is entirely calm the majority of the time, small waves do appear from time-to-time which are perfect for newbie surfers to have a go on or for families to splash about in.

This beach is unique in Corralejo for several reasons it's been declared an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International and it was the very first beach in Fuerteventura to be declared as dog-friendly. The only major downside to this beach is that there are no services or facilities onsite, so you'll need to bring enough food and drink with you to get you through the day or head to the shops in the resort if you need anything. 

Bars and Restaurants

An Caisteal

When it comes to a friendly, family-run bar in Corralejo, it's tough to beat An Caisteal. This bar offers a real taste of home for Scottish travellers, with live Scottish football and other Scottish sports broadcast, along with a huge selection of the finest Scottish malt whiskeys behind the bar and amazing Scottish breakfasts and pies. Although the menu is small is also includes favourites such as nachos, bruschetta, burgers, lasagne and fajitas all the dishes are typical pub grub classics, so you're sure to find something to suit everyone.

Casa Santa Maria

If you want to eat somewhere off the beaten track, then Casa Santa Maria could be for you. Mentioned multiple times in the Guide Michelin, who described it as 'the most charming restaurant on the island', the Casa Santa Maria is situated in a renovated farmhouse in the mountain village of Betancuria. Combining traditional yet creative Spanish cuisine with a beautiful setting, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in this part of the island.
