La Concha beach, El Cotillo

One of Fuerteventura's best-known beaches

In the north-east of Fuerteventura you will find the beaches of the coastal village of El Cotillo. To the north they extend into a series of family-friendly coves of white sand and calm turquoise waters. La Concha beach is one of them, and is one of the best-known in Fuerteventura for its beauty, quality and tranquillity. The beach's close proximity to the town allows you enjoy a break with incredible sea views and amazing sunsets, where the sky changes from ochre to violet in a matter of minutes.

A white sand cove for all the family in El Cotillo

La Concha beach enjoys gentle waves thanks to its natural horseshoe-shaped reef. When the wind picks up the 'corralitos', small circular walls made from volcanic rock built by residents, are the perfect refuge, and at low tide the smallest members of the family can play safely in the small rock pools that form. There is parking very close to the beach and a lifeguard service as well as apartments and a restaurant nearby.
