Caleta del Rio, Protected beach in La Oliva, Spain.
Caleta del Rio is a protected beach with clear waters and fine sand on the northeastern coast of Fuerteventura. The shoreline is shaped by rocky areas where the water meets volcanic formations.
The area has been a fishing center for centuries during the Spanish colonial period. This maritime tradition has shaped how the place developed over time.
Local fishermen work using traditional methods and sell fresh catches directly to visitors near the water's edge. The small boats and daily activity along the shore show how the village remains connected to the sea.
Equipment rental services for water sports, loungers, and umbrellas are available, and parking areas sit within walking distance. The cove is easiest to swim in during calm weather conditions.
At low tide, natural pools form among the volcanic rocks where visitors can swim safely and spot small sea creatures. These hidden areas reveal themselves only at certain times.
