Corralejo sandunes

These are Fuerteventura's sand dunes. Featured in many TV shows and films, the dunes are today protected by a National Park. A great area to discover by foot, although do be sure to cover yourself in the sun as the breeze can be deceptively cool.

Fuerteventura

On the south of Fuerteventura lies the Jandía Peninsula, here, soft white sands meet cooling azure waters. And when faced with our dreary UK weather, who wouldn't want to be here?

Corralejo's seas look just as inviting, certainly a far cry from the cold UK beaches at this time of year. You'll find some top-quality dining down at the harbour area, as well as the possibility to take a ferry to nearby Lanzarote.

Papagayo lake, Lanzarote

On the South of Lanzarote, you'll find Papagayo beach. The beauty of this area is clear to see, and a look to shore would reveal the white sands that lay next to the water. Nudist bathing is common in this area, but don't feel you have to join in!

Maspalomas

This walk way beside the Maspalomas sand dunes, allows visitors a less physical walk, with the same stuning views. This couple seem to be enjoying the sun, sea, sand and palm trees.

The rugged Lanzarote landscape is dramatic and picturesque, but we don't think it's worth the risk this fisherman seems willing to take to try and catch his lunch.
