Fuerteventura is most famous for its beaches and water-sports activities. With over 150 beaches on offer, it’s not surprising that the island is considered the beach capital of the Canary Islands. The coastline varies from the sandy coves at Cofete to the vibrant bar-packed promenades of Jandia. Then of course there’s the Parque Natural de Corralejo with its sand dunes extending along the coast for 10km.
Renting a car in Fuerteventura not only offers you quick access to your resort from the airport, it also allows you to discover parts of the island that would usually only be accessed by locals of Fuerteventura.
