Along the east coast, you will find many fantastic beaches while the west coast is a bit rockier and exposed to the Atlantic swell. In the north of the island is where you will find the main tourist resort of Corralejo and in the south-east you will find some quieter beach resorts perfect for kitesurfing holidays for families or the avid kitesurf traveler.

Here are some of the bests spots on the island for kitesurfing:

Corralejo

In the north of the island at Corralejo is the stunning kitesurfing beach called Flag Beach. The surrounding area and most of the beach is part of a beautiful nature reserve. The windiest time is in the summer when the big high pressure stays over the Atlantic and there is a low over the Sahara. These combine to give a reliable cross-shore wind at Flag Beach. Here you will find some small waves along the beach and some great flat water sections that are perfect for learning to kitesurf. Bring the whole family along on your kitesurf holiday as this destination has amazing hotels with great activities and stunning beaches.

This spot on Fuerteventura is best suited to either the avid kitesurfers or those travelling with their non-kitesurf partners or families.
