Morro Jable, Coastal suburb in Pájara, Canary Islands, Spain
Morro Jable is a coastal settlement on the southern tip of Fuerteventura featuring a long stretch of pale yellow sand and transparent waters. Modern hotels and resorts rise behind the shoreline, dominating the skyline along the beach.
The settlement began in the late 1800s as a small fishing village hugging the coastline. Growth accelerated in the mid-20th century when tourism development transformed the area into a major destination.
The old town quarter shows signs of its fishing roots through the boats moored along the shore and the way local life remains tied to the sea. This maritime connection continues to shape daily routines in the settlement.
The beach offers changing rooms, showers, and specially equipped areas for visitors with mobility needs, along with lifeguards during swimming season. Parking is abundant and the pathways to the sand are well-maintained and easy to navigate.
The settlement sits at the southern tip of the island with access to quieter beach sections beyond the main tourist zone. Many visitors do not realize they can explore the wilder coastal areas of the Jandía peninsula from this location.

Fuerteventura, the second largest island in the Canary Islands, is characterized by its diverse landscapes and notable geological features. The island houses spectacular formations such as the white dunes of Corralejo Natural Park, extending over more than 10 kilometers, the 70-million-year-old Ajuy caves, and accessible volcanoes like Calderon Hondo with its 70-meter-deep crater. The coastline offers expansive beaches like the one in Cofete, 12 kilometers long and backed by the Jandía mountains, as well as Lobos Island, a volcanic nature reserve with black sand beaches. Beyond its natural assets, Fuerteventura offers cultural experiences such as the Grain Museum, which traces the island's agricultural history, and activities suitable for all ages with Oasis Park with 3,000 animals or Aqua Water Park in Corralejo. The island's climate allows visits year-round, with mild temperatures and ample sunshine promoting exploration of its natural parks, historical sites, and preserved coastline.
