About the beach

Pájara · Fuerteventura

Esquinzo-Butihondo is a long, pale-sand beach on the Jandía coast, lying beneath the hotel complexes north of Morro Jable. The beach offers a mix of areas close to amenities and more open spaces perfect for strolling. It is ideal for those seeking a day at the beach with convenient nearby facilities, though it is worth keeping the wind conditions in mind. It should not be confused with Playa de Esquinzo in La Oliva, which is located in the north of the island and has a much wilder character.
