Travel notes

How often it works
Inconsistent: it needs a large swell, so it shines when other spots are too big.
Crowd and vibe
Crowded on the inside; the outside is quieter.
Camping and vans
Wild camping is not allowed on Fuerteventura; only marked camping zones may be used, and the island council is still drawing up its camping rules. The Canary Government's draft decree would ban tourist overnight stays in vans and campers outside official campsites.
Facilities
In town: cafés, shops, surf schools and parking.
Water quality
In the 2025 EU bathing-water results, the nearest point, Charco de las Agujas, was rated excellent.
