- Dom HDorchester, United Kingdom22 contributionsA Stunning BeachA stunning beach, miles of golden sand with turquoise waves washing the shore. We swam and body surfed in many places up and down the beach. The town works hard to maintain this fabulous beach, cleaning the beach and providing life guards and cafes. There is no dress code, anything goes. Watching the parade of white bath robes, descend from the local hotels, in the morning for a skinny dip was an interesting spectacle.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 16, 2024

Me and my fiancée went to the beach, hoping to enjoy our day in the sun. We thought we should rent some sunbeds in order to have the most comfortable experience. All good and well until those orange t-shirt employees came to charge us for the sunbeds (as they are obliged to). Because we don't speak spanish they started speaking in spanish in a disrespectful manner about my fiancée. Because of the fact that I do not speak spanish, I was not able to figure out exactly what they said, therefore I could not confront them about it. When I realized that they might be talking about us, I looked at them, hoping that they would be men enough to, at least, say it to my face but, of course not. Cowards !!! I find it despicable that some peasant sunbed rental workers have the nerve to talk trash about someone else's partner while that someone spends a lot of money to come and have a good time once a year with their loved one. I am disgusted and I will never rent sunbeds on that beach ever again. Other than that, the beach itself is a paradise, 5 stars. For the service, 0 stars.

A beach suitable for all needs. Large, long in which you can find tranquility and solitude or, if you wish, coexistence with more people. There are services with sunbeds and umbrellas (non-invasive) that leave many free spaces for those who love to stay away from the chaos. The portion of the beach from the lighthouse towards Morro Jable is generally less windy than the northernmost part. Along the beach, at the entrances, there are some kiosks where you can have lunch or coffee. It's a beach where you can find people who practice nudism.

Superb beach! Miles and miles of fine white sand. Magnificent turquoise water! Lots of room so you don't squeeze on top of each other.
Be careful there are some naked people, don't be surprised this beach can be visited with the outfit of your choice. 😁

Fantastic beach! a corner of Paradise. The coastline is very long, with very fine white sand, with numerous equipped areas, at fair prices, umbrella and 2 sunbeds, €15.
Yes they can go for long walks. I was there in May, the temperature was around 22-24°, it was fabulous in the sun! the sea is cold, but once in the water it feels wonderful.
There was a lot of wind and the sea was a little rough, especially in the afternoon, but you can see that the water is crystal clear.
A detail that really surprised me, POSITIVELY, is the quiet coexistence, north of the lighthouse, of swimmers in swimsuits and nudists, both on the free beach and on the equipped ones.
It's really worth it!

Mile after mile of golden sand. This beach has an abundance of the grainy stuff. Almost as long as it's broad, the beach is only rivalled by the crystal clear waters that it sits next too.
The town of Moro Jable must have a serious cleaning policy. Probably one of the cleanest beaches I've ever seen. Great place to spend time and enjoy a well looked after treasure.

It can be busy, so come early to make sure to find a parking space.

Lovely wide and long beach (several kilometers).
Several locations where it's possible to rent sunloungers and shades for the day (see pictures for rates).
Very clean beach, life guards at regular intervals.
Can get windy but not cold.
The only weird aspect is the presence of nudists in various locations, mixing with people wearing bathing suits instead of staying on one designated area.

The Beach at Playa del Matorral stretches as far as the eye can see, it's reported to 3km long of pure white sand, edged by clear bluey/greeny sea.
The Lighthouse is supposed to in the centre & can been seen from both ends.
Between the sand & the road is a nature reserve, which is protected.
If you visit Fuerteventura, you must visit the Morro Jable area as it's so beautiful.
Note; as with a lot of T/A pages the map position is wrong, I have tried to correct it, but who knows if it ever will be.

I will be at Playa Del Matorral in a few weeks time and was wondering which side of the lighthouse is naturist? is it lft or right of the lighthouse when you are looking out to sea?
Written August 26, 2018
Probably too late for you now but it's north of the lighthouse or left as you look out to sea

Bonjour
Cette plage est elle facilement accessible pour les pmr et peut on se garer pas trop loin. Difficulté à la marché.
Merci pour votre aide
Written August 22, 2018
Sí, es accesible porque hay una pasarela de madera que une desde el paseo marítimo hasta la arena.
Vimos carteles que ponía donde podían ir gente que fuera en silla de ruedas.

Salut! Fuerteventura temps est excellente toute l'année. Mars est agréable, mais le vent peut être gênant parfois. Baignez sans problème si vous n'êtes pas très sensible au froid. Le meilleur moment de l'année sans aucun doute, Septembre et Novembre
