El Cotillo Beach, Sandy beach in El Cotillo, Spain.
The beach features white sand coves stretching along the northern coast of Fuerteventura, with natural rock formations creating protected lagoons.
Traditional stone walls called 'corralitos' were constructed by local fishermen to provide shelter from strong winds during their daily activities.
The beach hosts the annual Fuerteventura Kite Festival and Music Festival, drawing participants from across the Canary Islands.
Visitors can access changing facilities, showers, and parking areas near La Concha section, with lifeguard services available during peak seasons.
Natural tide pools form between volcanic rocks during low tide, creating small protected swimming areas with crystal-clear waters.

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.
