Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Corralejo - Flag Beach

Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Corralejo - Flag Beach

Facing Lanzarote, Corralejo was once a small fishing village, now it is a thriving holiday town. The town is on one side of the large bay with apartments and hotels spreading round to the other. Flag Beach is about 4km from town, looking out towards Isla de Lobos. This area has hardly developed and the centre is across the dunes right in the middle of this long sandy beach.

At Flag Beach the wind is predominantly cross-shore and has a stretch of some 6-7 km of white sand. Almost half of this is almost deserted. The best months are March to November. This is when the sea tends to be flat and wind consistent. During the winter months it can become too wavy and though it might be good on the occasional day it cannot be guaranteed.

Flag Beach have a team of excellent watersports instructors who not only sail, windsurf, surf, and kitesurf but also speak 6 languages between them. You can also feel safe in their hands as rescue facilites are always at hand for any situation that might occur.
