 NW rockier beaches of Corralejo, with the Isla de Lobos in the background |
Corralejo is one of the few natural harbours of Fuerteventura. The anchorage has sand bottom and good holding. There's a government-owned marina and two ferry ports (line Fuerteventura - Lanzarote) operated by the company Ohlsen.

Weather
The bay is protected from the dominant trades. The odd southeasterly winds can sweep right into the harbour, creating an uncomfortable swell.
