Playa de los Ojos, Beach in Fuerteventura, Spain
The crystal water beach stretches along the western coast of Fuerteventura, featuring shallow entry points and dark volcanic sand formations near the shore point.
The beach received its name from natural freshwater springs that emerge through the sand, which indigenous Guanches people used as water sources in the 15th century.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at the northern end of the beach, using wooden boats and nets to catch regional fish species.
The beach offers direct access from the coastal road with dedicated parking spaces, and visitors can find restroom facilities at the nearby restaurant.
Small circular depressions in the sand reveal freshwater springs, creating natural pools where saltwater and freshwater mix during low tide periods.

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.
