Fuerteventura Sand Dunes: Why It's A Must See

Fuerteventura Canary Islands is often associated with its pristine beaches, with over 150 kilometres of white sand and clear green waters. And right up north facing Los Lobos, you will find Corralejo. Here, you will find Fuerteventura beaches that are ideal for surfing and a municipality that's alive at night. It also features an old town, which is the heart of Corralejo. While these are exciting spots, one of the most popular activities here is going to Corralejo Sand Dunes Natural Park.

Let's talk about Fuerteventura sand dunes and why it's a must-see, and how you can get there.

Locally known as Parque Natural de las Dunas de Corralejo, this top activity in Fuerteventura Canary Islands has the largest area in the Canaries and is a protected area which was made as a park in 1994. The 2600-hectare area is covered with sand dunes which were formed organically. The perfect mixture of sand and beach can only be found at this natural park. Here, you will also find a wide variety of flora and birds, as the dunes are areas of special protection for birds.

So what can you actually do here? When you walk along the coast made of fine white sand, you will reach the beautiful Fuerteventura beaches. The turquoise waters are perfect not just for swimming but for pictures as well.
