The lagoon of Sotavento is a very popular place for windsurfing and kitesurfing. No wonder, the beach has wonderful sand and the water is colored by the low depth of beautiful turquoise. At the southern end of the beach there is also a hiking dune right on the water.

One of the most famous places on Fuente. Great backdrop.

It is the internationally best-known beach in Fuerteventura. Its length of nine kilometers alone takes the visitor's breath away. In reality, Sotavento consists of five individual beaches: La Barca, Risco del Paso, Mirador, Malnombre and Los Canarios. You don't have to wait for low tide to enjoy endless walks along its crystal-clear water. A sand barrier approximately 100 to 300 meters from the shore creates a huge lagoon three kilometers long.
