Fishing village on Fuerteventura's north-west coast, with powerful beach breaks to the south along Piedra Playa and sheltered lagoons to the north that are perfect for SUP and families. The west-facing beaches take the full winter Atlantic swell, and the NE trades blow side-offshore. Winter is for experienced surfers only: the shorebreak is heavy and the rips are serious.
