Turist atraction in Corralejo
Beaches:
El burro:
This is one of the best beaches for surfing and windsurfing. In summer its normally crowded by tourists, but in winter the water and sand is occupied by surfers, since big swells roll in from the north in the cold season.
Los Hoteles:
Its one of the biggest and most famous beaches in corralejo. There are many wooden minibars along the beach to buy drinks etc... Its a very safe beach, since the swells dont really hit the beach, but it usually has a rather strong current.
The white sandy beaches of Corralejo stretch far and wide along the east coast. Most of these beaches have sun bed and umbrella rental.
Flag beach, by the two main hotels is one of the best places to try water sports such as windsurfing and kitesurfing.
For the more experienced try 'Glass beach'. Or if you don't fancy anything too strenuous 'Drop beach' is a bit further along the main road.
With crystal clear waters and miles of sandy beaches, its hardly surprising that some of these dunes are used for fashion photo shoots and TV advertisements.
