Fuerteventura is the oldest of the Canary Islands and has the longest coastline, with a length of 340 km. It has outstandingly beautiful beaches with soft, warm sand and turquoise waters.
The sea lapping at the shore of the island is shallow, and the seabed is flat and sandy. Due to volcanic formations in some areas, there are cornices, tunnels, contour intervals and caves. As far as the seabed is concerned, it is possible to make out two different areas: the windward side and the leeward side.
The windward side is open to trade winds with difficult diving conditions and is only accessible to divers between the months of June and September. It extends from Corralejo in the north to Punta de Pesebre, at the tip of the Jandía peninsula. For any windward diving excursion, you should leave from the port of Ajui, on the Pájara coast. In Corralejo, opposite the Isla de Lobos, there is a wide rocky area which is extremely attractive. Further south, interesting dives are possible in Las Salinas and Jacomar, where a nearby volcano erupted into the sea.
Near the tourist town of Morro Jable, there is an incredible place where diving is possible, and is well visited and known by people from the Canary Islands and abroad. There is a sandstone wall, riddled with crevices and caves, with the greatest concentration of large fish on the island which will leave the visitor with unforgettable memories.
Diving enthusiasts can dive along the Fuerteventuran coast in areas such as Puerto Lajas, Corralejo, Majanicho, Ajui, Gran Tarajal, Pozo Negro, Jandía.
