Corralejo Natural Park, Nature reserve in La Oliva, Spain.
The protected area spans 2,600 hectares of white sand dunes meeting turquoise waters, stretching from Puerto Remedio Beach to La Salina.
The reserve originated from a former fishing settlement that transformed into a protected habitat, now preserving native species and geological formations.
Local conservation efforts focus on maintaining the natural state of dunes, mountains, and beaches while educating visitors about environmental protection.
Visitors access the park through the FV-1 road connecting Puerto del Rosario to Corralejo, with parking areas available near main entrance points.
The reserve contains the largest dune system in the Canary Islands, featuring the 300-meter Montaña Roja volcano with views of Lanzarote and La Graciosa.

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.
