About the beach

La Oliva · Fuerteventura

La Playa de Esquinzo in La Oliva opens up at the mouth of a ravine, nestled between dark cliffs and wind-sculpted pale sand dunes. It is a beach in the wild north—near the El Cotillo area—distinct from the Esquinzo-Butihondo hotel zone in Jandía. Due to the access conditions and lack of amenities, it is best to plan your visit in advance. The waves attract surfers, though the landscape alone makes the trip worthwhile for those without a board.
