Corralejo

About Corralejo

Corralejo sits beside Fuerteventura’s sweeping dunes and Atlantic beaches in Spain’s Canary Islands, a relaxed resort town shaped by sand, surf and bright island light.

Corralejo has a laid-back waterfront, lively plazas and broad sandy stretches, with the volcanic landscape of Fuerteventura close at hand. The Corralejo Dunes National Park leads south toward open beaches, while surf and kitesurf schools gather around Flag Beach and El Cotillo.

Ferries cross to Lobos Island, and Popcorn Beach offers an unusual shoreline of white algae fossils. July and August bring the town’s peak beach season, with fresh seafood and Majorero cheese on local menus.
