10 things to do in Corralejo while on a Fuerteventura holiday in the Canary Islands

Welcome to this post about 10 things to do in Corralejo! The ancient fishing village of Corralejo, on the Canary Island of Fuerteventura, has turned into a surfers paradise over the last decade. It has grown into a medium-sized holiday destination but it hasn’t lost its charm. You might travel to Corralejo as a non-surfer. Or you could be a surfer wondering what are other excursions, activities, and things to do in Corralejo. Surfer or not, you won’t easily be bored during a holiday to Corralejo in Fuerteventura. Read on because there are many things to do in Corralejo, a charming Canary town in the north of Fuerteventura. You might also like to read my post about nightlife entertainment, with nice bars and restaurants for your evening in Corralejo.

Corralejo on Fuerteventura has more to offer than surf & board vibes

Surfer or not you will enjoy the board vibes during your holiday in Corralejo in Fuerteventura, one of the Canary islands in Spain. It’s one of these places where you might see a waiter in uniform on a skateboard, simply because that’s his way of transport to his job. Being in Corralejo reminds me a lot of my time living in Byron Bay in Australia, with many surfers and conscious people regarding the environment and especially ocean conservation. And there are many things to do (ad) in the beach town of Corralejo in Fuerteventura.

A vacation of one week might not be enough for a surfing or non-surfing holiday to Corralejo on Fuerteventura

Most people come for a one-week holiday to Corralejo, but a week is actually not enough. Corralejo is definitely a destination that a lot of people come back to. Just because they got hooked on the relaxing vibe or the surfing (ad). Sometimes people come back because they want to try another type of surfing, like wind surfing (ad) or kite surfing (link to TripAdvisor) on Fuerteventura. But there are so many other things to do in Corralejo! By the way, maybe your trip to Corralejo is part of a longer travel plan to the Canary islands. Then you might like to read my post about island hopping and backpacking all Canary islands as a female solo traveler.

Not enough time to do all the things in Corralejo during your last holiday to Fuerteventura?

Another reason that many people return might be that they couldn’t do all the things they wanted to do in Corralejo, during their previous holiday to Fuerteventura. Corralejo has something to offer for an active as well as for a passive vacation. There are stunning beaches and a huge selection of water sports activities. Also the nightlife entertainment in bars and restaurants ensure a nice evening in Corralejo. You can use ´Get your Guide´ (ad) to book most of the activities mentioned in this post through the banner below. Or use this link to have a look on TripAdvisor (ad).

Corralejo is very different to other tourist places in the Canary Islands

Corralejo never lost its authentic charm as a local fishing town. Obviously, there are tourist areas with shops and restaurants, like you find in all Canary Islands. But in Corralejo, there’s still the old town part with local places to hang out. Here you can find typical Canary bars to drink a ‘cortado’ and children are playing on the squares in the evening. This part is behind the harbor Muelle Chico. If you´re looking for more touristy bars and restaurants, just keep on walking along the seashore where you also often find live music.

Corralejo is nice place to stay during your holiday to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands

Within a short walk or bike ride, you´re on the more remote beaches of Corralejo with almost no, or only a few, tourists. You’re also close to the best surfspots of Fuerteventura. Next to the old part of town, you find the main street which is more touristy with the common shops, bars and restaurants. A bit further away from all this, in the Southern part of Corralejo, you can find the shopping center El Campanario. In general, Corralejo is a nice place to stay during your holiday in Fuerteventura.

What to expect from Corralejo itself, before I continue about the travel activities you can do from here

From Corralejo you can then do the things I describe in this post, and visit the highlights of Fuerteventura. But in Corralejo itself you can also rent a car in Corralejo downtown (ad), rent a bicycle or mountain bike (ad), and take the boat to Lanzarote (ad).  You can also take the bus to El Cotillo or go to the water park in Corralejo (ad). The water park is especially a nice activity for a family holiday with children in Corralejo. Corralejo also offers the opportunity to try out many different water sports and visit Lobos Island (ad).

The type of tourist in Corralejo is different than in other destinations in the Canary Islands

For me, as a 30+ female solo traveler, I made many new friends in Corralejo on Fuerteventura. Most people come to Corralejo to surf or to do other things, instead of just tanning on the beach. I can say that the average visitor is a traveler rather than a tourist. There are some luxury hotels in Corralejo (ad), but it is also very common in Corralejo to stay in budget accommodations such as surf camps and hostels (ad).

Local people of the Canary Islands, tourists, and expats do many things together in Corralejo

In Corralejo you can find a very different type of tourist than other destinations in the Canary Islands, where there is a lot of mass tourism with mainly hotels and resorts. In these mass tourist places there is often a split between the locals and tourists. You will find a mix of Canari@s, tourists and people who live and work in Corralejo. They all live together in the same town, and people also do things together in Corralejo. My favorite place to stay in Corralejo as a female solo traveler is the Sol y Mar surf hostel (ad), I will share more about this later!

(ad)

Corralejo is one of my favorite places in the Canary Islands

Corralejo is one of my favorite places in the Canary Islands. I remember coming here for a few days on my first visit, but getting hooked. I met so many nice people and there were so many things to do in Corralejo. After my adventure of island hopping & backpacking to all Canary islands as a female solo traveler, I returned for a longer stay. And then I lived in Corralejo on Fuerteventura for almost 1,5 years.  I became motivated to share travel information for people who are looking for a nice, safe and not-too-expensive holiday in Europe away from the mass stream. Or maybe you have been to Corralejo before and now it is time to do one of the other things to do than surfing.

(ad)

So besides surfings, what else can you do during a holiday in Corralejo?

I will now describe my ten favorite things to do in Corralejo, the activities that you can do besides surfing. Then I will list some more general activities and sports. Fuerteventura has a lot to offer and you can do all these things from Corralejo!

1) Cycle to El Cotillo from Corralejo

Rent a mountain bike in Corralejo (ad), and prepare yourself for a bike ride through a volcanic landscape. There are two ways to cycle from Corralejo to El Cotillo. I recommend taking the cycle route crossing straight overland for the morning when it’s not too hot. This route gives you partly a bike path. Stop for a coffee and treat yourself to a pastry at the famous bakery, named El Goloso, in Lajares to recharge before continuing your trip. Another cycle route to bike from Corralejo to El Cotillo is the off-road dirt track along the north coast. Whilst cycling this route you can stop at some smaller lagoons for a refreshing swim and pass the tiny village of Majanicho. You might like to save this bike route for the way back when it’s much warmer. Both routes from Corralejo to El Cotillo are about 20 km (12,5 miles).

(ad)

A visit to El Cotillo is a nice thing to do during a holiday in Corralejo

El Cotillo is a small charming fishing village, much smaller than Corralejo. It was an important harbor town for exporting goods from Fuerteventura during the 18th century. It is well-liked among the surfing community due to its enormous white surf beach. There are two harbors in El Cotillo. The old port,  called Muelle de Los Pescadores, is located in the middle of the village. And the newer harbor, Puerto Commercial, is located in the south. If you don´t like the waves on the huge beach, you can enjoy small lagoons with quiet water in the northern part of El Cotillo. At the end of the dirt track along the shore, you can find the Cotillo Light House with a small museum inside.

Tips for biking from Corralejo to El Cotillo

• Make sure to take enough water with you for your bike ride!
• If you´re very exhausted, you can always take the bus back and put your bike in the lower storage part of the bus. Keep in mind that at certain times they use a smaller bus which will not fit bikes, therefore you have to wait another hour. A bus ticket Corralejo – El Cotillo costs €3,10 one way.
• Come back to El Cotillo or stay for the amazing sunsets at this side of the island!
• Find prices and contact information for Volcano Biking in the break-out box. There are many more shops where you can rent a bike in Corralejo. Or click here to rent you bicycle in Corralejo with Get Your Guide in advance (ad).
• If it’s too hot, or if you’re having any physical problems, you can also rent an E-bike in Corralejo (ad).

2) Snorkel the island of Lobos, located north of Fuerteventura

If you need a day of peace and tranquility, go snorkeling on the island of Lobos! Lobos is located only 2 km or 1,2 miles away from Corralejo, you´re there within a 20-minute boat ride. On Lobos, you can spot certain endangered bird species and some rare fauna. You can hike the Montaña la Caldera on Lobos island, which has its peak at 127 meters or about 417 foot. But the best activity to do on Lobos is to go snorkeling (ad). You can try to spot a ray or another interesting fish: this area has been a natural reserve since 1982! Lobos Island has almost 14 km² or 5,4 mi² of coastline, so you will definitely find a nice, quiet spot all to yourself.

How do I get to Lobos island from Corralejo in Fuerteventura?

You can either go to Lobos by the regular ferry boat or you can get a private taxi boat, which is usually a zodiac boat. The price for both services is normally the same, but the private taxis offer a discount for Canary residents. It takes about 20 minutes to get to Lobos from Corralejo by boat.

(ad)

Tips for visiting and snorkeling Lobos island

• Most private boats provide you with a mask and snorkel but if you take the ferry or are not able to check before, make sure you take a set with you. Ask your hostel where to rent or borrow.
• There´s only 1 restaurant on Lobos, serving paella or fresh fish for lunch. If you would like to eat here you should make a reservation in the morning, upon arriving. There are no shops or other places for food or drinks, so make sure you bring plenty of water!
• Upon arriving on the island, most people walk down to the left where you have a sandy, white beach, which provides an easy entrance to snorkel, however, the beach might get a bit crowded, especially in the high season. In my experience, snorkelling is much nicer if you walk down the other side. I would recommend going there if you don´t mind a rocky entrance.
• Find information and prices for boat rides to Lobos in the break-out box below.
• You can also check out Lobos island on TripAdvisor (ad).

3) Do an excursion or go sightseeing on Lanzarote from Corralejo on Fuerteventura

Lanzarote is located only about a 30-minute ferry ride away from Corralejo! The boat arrives at a tourist town, called Playa Blanca, in Lanzarote. Many people enjoy themselves by going shopping. However, I recommend doing a day trip in Lanzarote to see the sights of the island. Shopping is also possible in Corralejo! Make sure to visit the Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote, where you can eat your barbequed meal prepared on the natural fire of the volcano. If time lets you, go and visit César Manrique´s creation ´Jameos del Agua´ in the north of the island. Nearby is also an amazing viewpoint on the small island of La Graciosa.

Tips for visiting Lanzarote from Fuerteventura

• In high season, there can be a long line of cars waiting to enter the Timanfaya National Park, so it would be much better to book an organized tour and you will appreciate the bus passing by all the waiting cars. It’s always better to think of the environment and to support sustainable tourism.
• Other than the two big ferry companies Fred Olsen and Naviera Armas there’s a cheaper and more adventurous option to go with Lineas Romero´s big catamaran. It takes approximately 45 minutes one way.
• Find information in regards to all boat options and prices in the break-out box below.
• You can also book a full day tour to some of the highlights of Lanzarote including the ferry from Corralejo here (ad).

4) Scuba diving is another activity you can do during your holiday in Corralejo on Fuerteventura

As a former dive instructor, I won´t leave scuba diving out of the things to do in Corralejo or whilst on holiday in Fuerteventura. Most scuba dive spots are around the island of Lobos. Because of the volcanic origin of Fuerteventura and all Canary Islands, the dive sites vary. There are reefs, swim through’s and overhangs. Check what’s underneath the overhangs and keep your eyes out in the blue. Things to see include rays, moray eels, barracudas, spider crabs, damselfish, octopus, cuttlefish and much more.

As in all Canary Islands, the angel shark can also be spotted whilst scuba diving in Fuerteventura

The Canary Islands are home to the critically endangered angel sharks. Thanks to the Angel Shark Project and the Angel Shark Conservation Network in the Canary Islands the angel shark is fully protected. The biggest chance to spot an angel shark is in the European winter from November until March. The water temperature in the Atlantic Ocean around the Canary Island varies from 18°C, or 64.4°F, in winter to 23°C, or 73.4°F, in summer. So you can dive in your wetsuit all year round!

(ad)

Tips for scuba diving in Corralejo on Fuerteventura

• Extend your bottom time with free Enriched Air Nitrox offered by Punta Amanay diving center (if you´re a certified Nitrox diver). It’s better to book in advance during the high season.
• If you´re not a certified diver yet, take your PADI Open Water Diver Course with Dive Center Corralejo, they have their own indoor swimming pool which is very comfortable and warm, especially during winter.
• If you don´t like to do go scuba diving with a tank, but also don’t practice free diving, you can also try PETER diving with Punta Amanay in Corralejo (ad), you dive with surface supplied air by means of a hose to a depth of six meters or almost 20 feet.
• Find more information in regards to opening hours and prices for both dive centers in the break-out box below.

5) Do something off the beaten track and hike the Bayuyo volcano in Corralejo

The hiking trail to the Bayuyo volcano starts as a side street from the outer ring of Corralejo. Walk down in southern direction on Avenida Juan Carlos I. Once you’re just outside Corralejo, you can start the hiking track to the volcano by going off-road to the right. You can also use the name of the Bayuyo volcano on Google maps to find the exact route. Depending on your hiking speed, you can reach a nice viewpoint within 30 to 45 minutes. It gives you a beautiful view of Corralejo, Lanzarote, and Lobos. The total distance is about 4,5 km, or 3 miles. The Bayuyo volcano isn’t very high, and reaches about 270 meters or 885 feet above sea level. If you´re into hiking, there are more volcanoes with longer hiking routes around Corralejo and on Fuerteventura.

Tips for hiking the volcano Bayuyo in Corralejo on Fuerteventura

• Plan your hike to the Bayuyo volcano for sunset or sunrise because otherwise it may be too hot (especially during the summer).
• Make sure to wear either hiking boots or sneakers. Because you might slip if you wear flip-flops, especially going down.
• Take enough water with you on your Bayuyo volcano hike! And don’t forget sun protection.

6) Something else you can do in Corralejo is to spend a day on Flag Beach

Flag Beach is a great place to go kitesurfing or windsurfing on Fuerteventura. But there are other things you can do at Flag Beach too. The beach is beautiful and it’s a nice place to go for a swim. And if your travel partner goes surfing and you´re not into that, you might like to try different water sports. On an unusual day when there is not much wind at Flag Beach, and if the sea conditions are good, you can stand up paddle or kayak to Lobos (link to TripAdvisor). You can also go sailing or book a catamaran tour (ad) from Flag Beach.

Where is Flag Beach located on Fuerteventura, and how do I get there from Corralejo?

Flag Beach is located southeast of Corralejo. You can walk to Flag Beach just by following the path along the seaside. This will take you around 20 to 30 minutes. Flag Beach is about 3 km or 1,9 miles away from Corralejo downtown. You can also go there by bicycle or take a taxi up there. Click here if you prefer to rent a car during your holiday in Corralejo on Fuerteventura (ad). Other places where you can rent stand-up paddleboards and kayaks closer to Corralejo include Waikiki beach and the smaller beaches over there.

Tips for visiting Flag Beach in Corralejo on Fuerteventura

• Stay in the hostel Sol y Mar Surf Camp (ad), run by the same owners as Flag Beach Watersports. And they are great people!
• You can rent a bicycle in Corralejo (ad) and get to Flag Beach by bike.
• Make sure to protect your skin, and especially your face, from the sun! Aloe Vera from the Canary Islands can help if you burned you skin.
• Check out Flag Beach Windsurf & Kitesurf Centre on TripAdvisor here (ad)
• Find more practical information about Flag Beach Watersports in the break-out box below or pre-book your wind surfing course with Flag Beach here (ad)

7) Rent a car or book a day tour in to see other highlights on the island of Fuerteventura

In the south of Fuerteventura you can visit Morro Jable, another charming fishing village. In case you would go island hopping in the Canary Islands, here’s also a harbor from which the ferry leaves to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. You can visit the sea turtle farm in Morro Jable (link to TripAdvisor) or climb the hill for a spectacular view. Close to Morro Jable is Jandia which is very touristy with big hotels and resorts.

Cofete Beach is another highlight of Fuerteventura Island

Another interesting and worthwhile highlight of Fuerteventura is the spectacular beach in the national park of Cofete. You can drive up there or take the 4-wheel drive public bus, which looks a bit funny for a public bus (see picture). Also the bus stop, in the middle of the national park, is worth taking a picture of. Whilst discovering the south you might as well check out the lagoon in Sotavento (link to TripAdvisor), famous for wind- and kite surfing. Click here to find your rental car on Fuerteventura with Discover Cars (ad), the company will scan all the big rental car companies for you to find the best price.

Places to visit during an island day tour on Fuerteventura from Corralejo

In the middle of the island, you can visit the old capital of Betancuria with its old houses and architecture. The town was founded in 1404. Betancuria once was the capital of the Kingdom of the Canary Islands, and later of Fuerteventura, till 1834 when Antigua became the capital. You can visit the Santa Maria church and museum too. Combine Betancuria with a visit to Ajuy. Ajuy is a small village on the west coast and is famous for its old rock formations. It is said that the caves in Ajuy are more than 170 million years old. Besides the caves, there’s a small black sand beach and a restaurant.

Tips for a day tour or island excursion on Fuerteventura

• If you would like to see a lot of places in 1 or 2 days, I can recommend renting a car and going at your own pace. Almost all of the places are reachable by public transport but you have to keep in mind that sometimes the buses go not that often and if you miss a connection you end up waiting for a long time in Puerto de Rosario.
• If you decide to go by public transport to the south, keep in mind that the public bus to Cofete only leaves at 10.00 am and 02.00 pm from Jandia / Morro Jable and returns at 12.00 am or 04.00 pm from Cofete.

Overview with travel information for activities & things to do in Corralejo

8) Skateboarding in Corralejo

Something else you can do in Corralejo is skateboarding! It’s a nice activity to combine with surfing during your holiday to Corralejo. You can practice your board skills in another way! For skateboarding, Corralejo is the perfect spot! There are many bike paths where you can practice your longboard skills. If you’re brave enough you can start performing stunts too! There is a skate park when you drive into Corralejo, just behind the Guardia Civil. I have been longboarding on a skateboard and just learned it myself. But if you like to get a longboard class you can book that too in Corralejo.

9) Sandboard the dunes in Corralejo – D.I.Y. sandboarding

Something else you can do in Corralejo is sandboarding the dunes! This is at your own risk and please use your own judgment for safety! My friend and I tried it with rubbish bags which was an epic fail. We didn’t go down at all and were just stuck at the top of the sand dune. It was a good laugh, though (see the movie below). But we did figure out how sandboarding in Corralejo on Fuerteventura can work!

Use an old surfboard for a successful attempt sandboarding or sand surfing in Fuerteventura

We did decide that sandboarding, or sand surfing, in the dunes of Corralejo will work with a bodyboard or a part of an old, broken surfboard. However, we haven’t tried it yet. But why not pick a nice sand dune in the national park and give the sandboarding a go? As always, please make sure to take all your rubbish with you upon leaving the dunes of Corralejo.

10) Go salsa dancing at night whilst on holidays in Corralejo

I have been taking salsa classes in Corralejo with Chantal Montaldo, and I think she is amazing. She taught me to salsa dance from the very first steps in the beginning, including finding the rhythm of the salsa music. She teaches classes to advanced dancers too and is an excellent dancer herself. If you don´t need dancing classes and just like to practice or go salsa dancing in Corralejo, then go to one of her organized salsa evenings. There are salsa evenings in the Kiwi bar in Corralejo on Wednesdays. At about 10.00 pm they start to put salt on the floor and you can warm up with the Bachata beats. Please check Chantal’s Facebook pagina to find up-to-date information for salsa dancing in Corralejo on Fuerteventura. You can also click here for my blog post about the nightlife, bars & restaurants for a nice evening in Corralejo

The Sol y Mar surf hostel  was my ´home sweet home´ away from travelling for years.  For me, it’s one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in during all my female solo travels & working around the world as a diving instructor. It´s a budget accommodation, super clean, and with an amazingly good vibe.

Sol & Mar Surf Camp and hostel in Corralejo

There are many single travelers of all ages and because you share the included breakfast together at a big table, you get to know each other pretty soon.

Additionally, they are located in the old part of town, which means that you are within walking distance of the nightlife such as bars & restaurants for a nice evening in Corralejo. 

Tips for choosing your holiday accommodation in Corralejo!

I recommend booking your stay in Corralejo in advance. Sometimes places are fully booked or you end up with another type of accommodation than you were looking for.

Also, it saves you from wasting many precious hours searching for a place in Corralejo whilst carrying your luggage around.
