Corralejo
Spend 2–3 days in Corralejo for beaches, dunes and island day trips; longer only if you want extensive kite‑surf lessons.
Corralejo is a beach town on Fuerteventura’s north tip with 18 000 residents and 20 000 guest beds. Its main draws are the sandy beaches, the protected dune park, kite‑surfing, and day trips to Isla de los Lobos. A short stay covers the highlights; extra days are needed only for multiple water‑sport sessions or relaxed pacing.
