Risco del Paso Beach has been made famous as the subject of countless tourist postcards. Located in the south of Fuerteventura on the Isthmus de Jandía coast in the municipality of Pájara, the vicinity offers a unique sun and beach experience with gorgeous white sand that disappears into the horizon. The turquoise waters are calm when the wind is down. Winds in the area are often good though, especially in the summer months, so the spot is perfect for windsurfing and kitesurfing. In response to demand, many surf schools and specialised surf shops have sprung up.
