Fuerteventura’s appeal is closely tied to its open landscapes, long coastal views and extensive beaches. The island can suit a holiday built around simple seaside days, with a historic inland town or a more remote coastal outing adding contrast. Distances matter, so decide which part of the island you want to experience most before choosing a resort.
Corralejo Dunes create a striking northern landscape where pale sand meets the coast; use designated access and respect local conservation guidance. Betancuria provides a different experience inland, with a historic town setting that breaks up a beach-focused itinerary. Cofete offers a powerful sense of remoteness on the island’s southern side, but its access and coastal conditions need particular care. These places should help you understand the island’s range rather than encourage one long day trying to cover everything from a single base.
How to enjoy your time here
Compare the distances between resorts and beaches when choosing your base. Check road access and transport for remote outings, and follow local swimming advice rather than judging water safety by appearance. Wind and sea conditions can change your preferred beach plan. Leave time for slower days close to your accommodation instead of relying on repeated long journeys.

Walking & access planning
We have not yet added a destination-specific official access resource to this guide. This does not mean the destination is unsuitable. Ask the accommodation, transport operator and each attraction about the exact access features you need.
A guide or accessible feature does not establish access for the whole trip. Confirm doorways, steps, gradients, walking distances, bathrooms, lifts, transfers and any assistance directly with the relevant provider.
