- DETAILS
A hidden place for nature lovers
Just north of the popular coastal town of El Cotillo are two of the quietest and most unspoilt stretches of beach in the region: Playa El Islote and Playa La Barra.
In the midst of volcanic rock formations, small sandy bays and gentle dunes, a natural coastal experience unfolds here - far away from the hustle and bustle, close to the essence of the island. Both beaches offer ideal conditions for relaxing hours by the sea. The small bays are ideal for swimming and snorkelling at high tide - the water is usually calm and crystal clear. Isolated corralitos, man-made stone circles, also offer natural protection from the wind.
This unspoilt coastal landscape particularly attracts people who appreciate unspoilt nature and tranquillity. Naturists feel particularly at home here due to the seclusion and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
A place of tranquillity and originality - created for all those who want to immerse themselves in the unique nature of Fuerteventura far away from the well-known beach areas.
