Things to do in Pajara, Canary Islands: The Best Beaches

December 28, 2021 Florencio Paulino

Pajara, on Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, has several beautiful beaches. Head to the eastern side of the island for white-sand beaches with calm waters; on the west coast, you’ll find black volcanic sand and rougher surf. The church of Nuestra Señora de Regla is worth a visit—the designs on its façade show Aztec influence, according to some experts.

Risco Del Paso

Walked this beach every morning and evening into Jandia - never crowded, clean as a pin and sea views to die for at sun rise. Watch out for the occasional naturist if you are the shy & retiring sort !

This is a no frills ( and sometimes no clothes) beach for all to enjoy. There are long stretches of sandy beach, and swimming when the sea is not too rough. Cafes and other facilities are on the edge of the beach, and easily accessible. It never seems to get too crowded.

Getting there is an adventure in its self A unsurfaced rough track with a few hairpin bends and big drops thrown in Did it in my people carrier so any vehicle can do it Check your hire car allows off-road use as some track you and charge! The beach and views when there amazing There is a restaurant in Cofete so you can get away with taking food and drinks with you My only advice is get back before it gets dark !

Reviewed By 6andrewc - Witney, United Kingdom

The southern end of this beach was just a couple of minutes from our hotel, and we loved being able to go down to the beach most days. The water is colder in February than say October, but there is plenty of sand and room for everyone. Facilities are limited on the beach but there are plenty of cafes etc nearby.

Sotavento Beach

Reviewed By FilipWalraeve - Loppem, Belgium

It's a long sandy beach, more then 4 km, with a huge Laguna, which is empty at low tide. So, at low tide you can have fantastic hikes over the sandbanks. This area is luckely protect for nature. So no hotels or houses in this unique landscape shaped by the ocean and the wind. During summer time the wind can be very hard. So, not so nice for a hike, but fantastic for windsurfing and kiting.

Playa de Butihondo

Reviewed By LadySurfinRocker - Sheffield, United Kingdom

This is by far one of my favourite beaches on Fuerteventura. The beach is extremely long and the sea is fabulous to swim in. Bordered by hotels and cliffs, the scenery is excellent. There are foot showers available when you come off the beach.
