Group travel
Great island to learn how to surf! We went in a group with different surfing skills and everyone could find an appropriate beach to keep learning. Renting a car is definitely a must to be able to sightsee freely as sights are scattered across the island. It is not one of the green Canary islands, very little vegetation on it but you can meet a lot if wild animals - squirrels and goats mostly.

I lived in my boyfriends family’s house close to the ocean. It’s the nicest beach I’ve ever seen and swam in. There’s a lot of turist here, but that’s okay. I’ve been windsurfing a lot, and I can recommend to do some wind/water sports here! There’s a lot of good places, good teachers and a lot of wind. Haven’t felt unsafe a single time here

We went for the first time and we loved it. you‘ll definitely need a car bc there are so many beautiful places to see. I was on a boat tour with FlounderSailing, we watched Dolphins and went snorkeling after that. The Beaches were amazing and every one of them was so different!

Solo travel
Last weekend, I finally made it to Fuerteventura—and wow, it was worth the wait! After living in Gran Canaria for over a year, it was about time. The island is stunning. I travelled solo and rented a car for a 3-day road trip, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The beaches are unlike anything I’ve seen before. If you ever get the chance to visit Cofete, don’t think twice—just go. Corralejo is lovely too, but the raw, untamed beauty of Playa de Cofete is absolutely jaw-dropping.
