We're going to the zoo
While chilling out on the beaches and soaking up the sun are the most popular things to do in Caleta de Fuste, there are plenty of nearby attractions.

Don't worry if you don't have a car; the park operates its own free shuttle-buses that stop at most of the major hotels. The park is set in beautiful, botanical gardens, which are blooming with exotic plants and cacti.
Don't pass the salt
For something a little out of the ordinary, pay a visit to the Salt Museum, about 20 minutes' drive from the resort. One of the more unusual things to do in Caleta de Fuste, you can learn how salt is produced; explore the old salt mines, and see the famous salt flats. Alternatively, if you prefer your salt in the form of seawater, head to the Oceanarium Explorer. A marine-life park, it offers the opportunity to swim with sea-lions or see shimmering shoals of fish, from the dry comfort of a glass-bottomed boat.
Golfing and shopping
