Esquinzo beach

A golden sandy beach and surfing in the north of Fuerteventura

On an island like Fuerteventura, whose coastline is all beach, Esquinzo only serves to further enrich visitors’ options, with its status as a wild, untouched haven, a surfer’s paradise and a hideaway of peace and sunshine - lots of sunshine. In the town of La Oliva amid the rugged northern coastline, little visited and relatively unknown, this spot sits quietly in the landscape. The black volcanic rocks morph into golden sands and the blue ocean bathes the land. This is quintessential Fuerteventura.

An idyllic beach for swimming in La Oliva

An idyllic beach close to El Cotillo, you reach the sand via a spectacular channel in a ravine. Just as though it was an estuary of a river, the beach is a truly captivating sight as its plains spread out from behind a rocky barrier. The contrast is enhanced by the dark cliffs and three large sandy mountains, shaped by the wind. If the waves allow it, discover a sense of freedom on this beach, a destination for those who don't just want sun, sand and sea but want to feel alive.
