Fuerteventura beaches, in particular, are world renowned and lure tourists from around the world to come and experience what many experts regard as the best sand around.
Fuerteventura is a narrow island, which means that no matter where you are, you’re never far from the beach. You could be visiting a town in the middle of the island, yet the coast will only be a short drive away. As a result, a large portion of the Fuerteventura landmass is comprised of sand. And many of these beaches are known throughout Europe and the world as pristine tourist hotspots. In fact, a handful of them have been awarded the Blue Flag, an award bestowed on only the best beaches around the world that reach high standards of water quality, sand cleanliness, and public facilities. The beaches at Gran Tarajal, Costa Calma, and Butihondo have all been honored with the Blue Flag.
