Matas Blancas Beach

A deserted beach

For those travelers seeking tranquility, Playa de Matas Blancas, located on the east coast of the island of Fuerteventura, is an isolated place where you can relax. The spot has golden sand and turquoise waters. There are great areas in the southern section of the beach to stretch out on your towel.

Ideal for windsurfing

This beach is much appreciated by windsurfers. To get there you need to drive towards Costa Calma. Just before arriving to the town there’s a roundabout with a large monument which bears a resemblance to a little windmill. If you turn towards the sea at this point, you’ll find a dirt track that takes you to the beach.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Do not use soap or gel in the showers located at the entrance to the beach.
Try to use ocean-friendly sun creams.
Pets are prohibited at most beaches. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
