A heavy reef on the North Shore track west of Corralejo, on the small rocky point just east of Mejillones. The main wave has two sections that break very close to sharp lava, and a smaller inside left is a little less dangerous. The name is a fair warning: it is for expert surfers and bodyboarders only.

Local tips

Getting in and out over the sharp lava is hard work on big days, so watch for a long time first and wear booties. Leave it to the few locals who know it unless you are very experienced.

Getting there

The North Shore is reached by the rough coastal dirt track between Corralejo and El Cotillo, or by the tarmac road from Lajares down to Majanicho. A normal car manages slowly; take care on the rocks.

Travel notes

How often it works
Breaks fairly often in winter on solid north-west swells, mostly flat in summer.
Crowd and vibe
Usually empty; most visitors only watch. Respect the locals, bodyboarders included.
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
None on the North Shore track. Everything is in Corralejo, about 3 km east.
Water quality
There is no official bathing-water point on the North Shore. The nearest, the old harbour beach of Corralejo about 3 km east, was rated good in the 2025 EU results.
