    Good chipmunk feeding spot!
    On reading the signs you shouldn’t actually enter the Park, so there’s not much to review. However if you walk along the path near to Clarkie’s Bar you’ll be able to feed the wild chipmunks. You’re not supposed to but when they stand by your feet waving their little arms around at you, how can you resist? We only stayed for 3 nights and fed the chipmunks on two different days. It was definitely a highlight for our short stay!

    I've read so many reviews of the beach and dunes in which visitors are warning others to be prepared you may see nudists/naturists. Be warned you may see naked bathers. Don't be shocked to see and so on and so on. How childish and frankly stupid. This place is stunning. The best beaches on the planet. Naturists and textiles sunbathe alongside each other. No problem whatsoever unless your a small minded individual!! Naturism is wholly embraced all over Spain including fuerteventura.

    This coast
    Here is a very good place for Kitesurfing and it is the area between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. There is an island called a lobo which means the wolf in English. I walked all the way along with speech and I sat with the Kitesurf as there are a lot of them there maybe over 100. When it’s windy and it can be a very windy place I stayed at the Riu treasure is Les hotel which is at the end of the beach going south. It was okay but it’s really a hotel for Rich retired people the drinks are very expensive and at night they play very loud 80s type music. You know YMCA Boney M. all that stuff we’ve heard 1 million times before a good JDJ listens to the music this year and plays the best music this year old stuff for old people please, the food is all buffet there it is a bit hit and miss if it’s fresh or not I had some salmon that made my stomach feel a bit strange but if you stick to the salads you should be okay it is a moneymaking business. Just remember that they are there to make as much money out of you as they possibly can so this hotel looks along the beach there. It is almost in front of the sea. I don’t know how they got permission to build it so close to the sea I wouldn’t of thought they would give permission today and it is expensive. It is from €145 a night 2/200 and the night I wanted to stay there, they wanted nearly €300 but it’s not worth that, you can go to the other side of the island till two Elkorn, call Tio and Pay about €30.

    Stunning
    A truly stunning part of Fuerteventura. The unspoilt natural wonder is a must see when visiting Fuerteventura. The park is easily accessed from Corralejo and has a nice beach that is popular with surfers at its Southern access. Not to be missed in Fuerteventura.

    Spectacular
    Visited this area twice during my stay in Corralejo. Fantastic beach and spectacular sand dunes which was worth the taxi ride from Corralejo centre alone. There are lots of nudists walking around, both on the beach, mainly from the second lifeguard Station all the way to, and including the sand dunes. Its all very natural with clothed, semi clothed and naked people seemingly oblivious to each other. Only the narrow minded would find offence in people walking around naked in this wondrrful environment.

    Quiet appartment with sea view.
    We requested a quiet appartment with sea view and we certainly got what we wanted. Beds were comfortable, balcony great, kitchen basic but we could cheaply buy everything we lacked at the Euro Maki close by. Shops, restaurants and beaches at walking distance. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

    Explore the whole park, not just the coast
    The whole area is so varied yet most people only see the coastal strip. I stayed at the Playa Park and walked direct South for two hours through scrub, malpais and amazing sand dunes. Then I went easy to El Poris before following the coast back to Corralejo. I even found a running river in the desert.

This area could hold hidden Dangers
There are no facilities here and certainly towards the north the sea currents are very confused.
There is a big Surf School here further South towards the hotels. There are also some nice coves as you drive South,
Some rock shelters have been constructed, very private!

Our visit was with family, including four children aged 2 - 11 years old. It was a lovely day out!

We caught the bus from Corralejo (no charge for the children and €1.40 per adult). The journey itself was no longer than 10 minutes. The bus drops you right outside a Hiperdino (supermarket chain) which is very handy if you have forgotten to pack anything or if you didn’t want to lug snacks and drinks with you. There is a bar next door to the Hiperdino too.

The beach has a large range of sun beds however I’m unsure as to whether these can be used by the public for a fee or whether they are currently in use due to the pandemic. There is also a public toilet just off the beach too.

The sand, sea and views are absolutely stunning. It was such a clean beach with soft sand and clear water. It’s the perfect environment for making sandcastles with kids too!

The views are stunning. You can see across to Lanzarote. On one side you have the beautiful stretching sea and on the other you have volcanic mountains.

I would highly recommend visiting!

Excellent for swimming and sunbathing with lots off beautiful coastline to walk . You can get sun loungers 9euro with parasols to shade . There are people walking the beach selling cold drinks and excellent toilets on the beach also. A Taxi rank is located by the hotel so you can get back to Corralejo for 8euro and if you are into naturist sunbathing the right hand side off the beach caters for this which is well away from the main area but also has sun loungers etc.

We were very fortunate and we spent 5 weeks (Nov/Dec) in the Riu Place Tres Islas, which is situated on the Grandes Playas of Corralejo and overlooked the Natural Park.

The awesome Park is a protected area and it poccupies 11 kilometres (7 miles) along the eastern coastline of Fuerteventura.

The roadway FV1a, from Corralejo, passes directly through the Park with the massive sand dunes on one side and incredible beaches on the other.

It is also possible to drive in the opposite direction, though the Park, from Parque Holandes to Corralejo, this gives a different aspect.

A drive along the road is one way to see and experience the Park. But the best way is to park up along the roadside, ample parking, and go for a hike across the dunes.

The mountainous terrain surrounding the Park enhance the sheer expanse and grandure of the region. The majestic Montaña Roja is also a feature of the Park.

It was a real treat to watch the sunset over the Park from our balcony window.

As the Park is a protected region a number of activities are not permitted, these are displayed on noticeboards along the roadside

Large beach & sanddunes, some parts have sunbeds but mostly large expance of fine sand. Can sometimes be windy, on a good day it's ideal for sunbathing & swimming. Good for kitesurfing etc.

We came here 3 times during our visit and every time enjoyed it at maximum. If you are on the island it’s a must to visit.
Endless beautiful dunes, turquoise ocean scarce vegetation that make it look like real desert.
There are of course endless beaches for everyone’s taste and choice. And there are even small castles along the beach for wind protection.
For the ones who are interested to find the beach on 22 km, it’s now 14 km. They changed numeration obviously.
The only thing that puzzled me is how on earth they managed to build those two ugly huge hotels in the middle of national park?...

If you like peace and quite on a beach, and hate beaches where you need to look for a spot to lay your mat, between everyone else, then this place is great for you.
About 30-40 mins stroll from Corralejo town, and you find yourself in what resembles a luna landscape, the beach is quite a walk through the dunes, and the first area of beach you reach (coming from Corralejo) is used by quite a lot of naturalists, there are lots of stone circular windbreaks which people have built, and if you can find one empty they make an amazing difference, cutting out virtually all the breeze.
If you walk further along the beach it becomes more 'commercial' the closer you get to the two large RUI hotels which are about 2k along the beach, here you will find sun parasols, and beach shops etc.
This beach area stretches for literally miles, and if you love walking along the shoreline (like I do) then this is like paradise, but remember to take something to drink, because apart from the two hotels, and the beach shops near them, you could find yourself a good 2k away from absolutely anything or anyone.

Our last visit to Fuerteventura we hired a car and paid a visit to the beautiful sand dunes at Correlejo. It was a great day, we walked for ages along sparkling sandy beaches and that was why we decided to explore this area of the island further by staying at Correlejo.
This meant we could further explore the beautiful coastline around the resort and every day of our stay easily notched up our daily ten thousand steps exploring the fabulous beaches with volcanic rock and white sand plus wonderfully clear sea. The amount of walking done and further exploring the area more than justified a stay in this scenic coastal town and we will return there soon.

An hour walk away from Corralejo along the coast, these sand dunes are small but stunning nonetheless. If you walk a few metres away from the beach into the dunes, you ll end up almost all alone, making the dunes feeling more like a desert. Perfect for a movie of photo set!

The Dunes have become smaller over the past 20 years but still beautiful to visit for a tranquil day out. For the children it is beautiful sand and water but make sure you follow swimming advice.

Some couples and singles head inland over the Dunes whilst others are water babies. There are many different beaches to choose from.

1st weekend in November the Dunes host the International Kite Festival which is a must of you are over that week and great for the kids.

Northing you can say about beaches really, you either love it or hate it but with almost 100 miles of beaches in total Fuerteventura has a lot to choose from and I sure you will find at least one you will like.
