With mile upon mile of soft white sand beaches washed by turquoise waters, Fuerteventura is a beach-lover's paradise. Largely undeveloped, the island has the longest coastline of all the Canaries and a deserted interior with almost no vegetation, not surprising given that this is the driest island of the archipelago with less than 15cm (6in) of rain per year. The Dunes Nature Reserve in the north stretches along the coast, attracting sun worshippers and windsurfers alike, while the south of the island is blessed with superb beaches such as Playa de Sotavento. Corralejo Situated on the northern tip of the island, Corralejo is a popular beach resort with splendid views across to Playa Blanca on Lanzarote. Although the town boasts its own series of sandy coves, the spectacular sands of the Dunes Nature Reserve lie just 3km to the south. The streets of the resort are lined with shops and restaurants and at the older end of town is a small selection of attractive waterfront bars. For those looking to explore, the ferry crossing to Lanzarote takes around 35 minutes, and there are about five services daily in each direction. Costa Calma Situated directly in front of a large sandy beach, Costa Calma is a quiet purpose-built resort and the perfect choice for a relaxing holiday. The resort is ideally situated for discovering some of the island¿s best beaches, most notably Playa de Sotavento. Jandía In the far south of the island the resort of Jandía lies adjacent to the small fishing village of Morro Jable, which tumbes down a steep hill. The resort is renowned for its good quality of hotels, its fine beach and the small local restaurants to be found in Morro Jable.
