Beach - Puerto de la Cruz on Fuerteventura

Beach near Puerto de la Cruz (Puertito)

The beaches around Puerto de la Cruz (also called Puertito) are small bays, mostly with light-coloured sand and many black stones. There are no tourist beaches, you find mainly locals here. The town Puerto de la Cruz and "Punta de Jandía", the most southern point of Fuerteventura, which is situated behind Puerto de la Cruz, are beautiful sights which you should definitely visit.

How to get to the beach:

Don't drive straight through to the port of Morro Jable but turn right (see picture). First this road is still asphalted but after approx. 2 km it turns bumpy and rocky. Here you go on for approx. 12 km until you reach a fork. On the left-hand side the road leads to "Puertito", on the right-hand side to "Cofete" (see picture). Here you turn left. Now you follow this way for 8.3 km. From a distance you can see the windmill of Puerto de la Cruz.

All-terrain vehicle needed: yes, (no insurance coverage with a normal car!)

Parking options:

In the town of Puerto de la Cruz. The beach is directly behind the town.
