    A Stunning Beach
    A 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.

    Stunning big beach
    A stunning big beach. Not too many tourists so it has a lovely β€œCanary” vibe. The water is one of the bluest and clearest I’ve ever seen! It is lifeguarded in some areas. Be careful of sudden big waves and currents, take extra care with children. However I really recommend giving a visit!

    Nice beach. Lots of space. Can be busy.
    Very nice beach. White Sand, blue water. A lot of space on the beach. Nice promenade, and a lot of shops in the neighbourhood. It can be busy, so come early to make sure to find a parking space.

    The biggest wow from our holiday this week is the beach πŸ– πˆπ“ πˆπ’ π”πππ„π‹πˆπ„π•π€ππ‹π„!!! White sand, crystal clear turquoise water, comfortable sun loungers - with a perfect sea breeze. We've genuinely just spent every day chilling out and relaxing on this beautiful, idyllic beach. Comfortable sun loungers, not crowded, no noisy groups, warm waters - I genuinely would come back to Morro Jable just for this beach!

We stayed in the middle of the island and saw beaches west, north, east and south.
This side of the island was by far the busiest and touristy. But also one of the most beautiful beaches. Width, big, long white sandy, ocean blue water beach. Many facilities around, restaurants, bars, shops. Lots of hotels and resorts as well. Sunbeds with umbrella available. Not easy to find a parking right at the beach.

Me and my fiancΓ©e 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 fiancΓ©e. 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.

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.

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.

This seems an endless beach. You can walk it for about 5km. Great spots for surfing etc. Good for swimming. Nudism is tolerated. Life-guards every 500m. Nice beach cafΓ©s.
