Playa del Salmo

Playa del Salmo is a beach on the eastern coast of Fuerteventura with light-colored sand mixed with scattered stones throughout. The shoreline extends for a significant distance and shows a natural alternation between smooth sandy areas and rocky sections.

The name comes from local fishermen who historically used this spot for traditional fishing when Fuerteventura was still undeveloped. These activities shaped the early coastal development of the island.

Local people have kept the area around the beach largely undeveloped, maintaining a strong link to traditional Canarian coastal ways. You notice very few buildings or facilities here, which gives the place its rural character.

You reach the beach via a paved road from the FV 2 highway at the Sotavento viewpoint, where a small parking area is located. Access is straightforward and the walk from the road to the shore takes only a few minutes.

The mix of stones and sand creates natural formations that shift with the tides, making the beach look different at various times. Visitors often notice how the same spot can appear quite different in the morning versus the afternoon.
