Corralejo Natural Park, Nature reserve in La Oliva, Spain.
Corralejo Natural Park is a protected area on the northern coast of Fuerteventura where white sand meets turquoise water. The landscape features extensive dune formations, coastal cliffs, and volcanic peaks spread across the terrain.
The park evolved from an old fishing settlement that was later protected to preserve the natural environment. This transition helped safeguard the geological formations and native species from development.
The dunes and beaches here shape local identity and are protected by the community to preserve natural habitats for future generations. Visitors can observe how the landscape influences daily life and its importance to people living nearby.
You can reach the park via the FV-1 road connecting Puerto del Rosario to Corralejo, with parking areas near the main entrances. Exploring on foot is the best way to experience the different sections, especially during early mornings or late afternoons.
The area contains the largest dune system in the Canary Islands, featuring the Montaña Roja volcano with slopes rising prominently. From this peak, visitors can see all the way to the islands of Lanzarote and La Graciosa across the water.
