About the beach

Pájara · Fuerteventura

At Playa La Barca, the Sotavento landscape shifts with the tides; sandbars, shallow waters, and the lagoon constantly change in shape and size. This—along with the sight of windsurfing and kitesurfing sails—makes it well worth a visit. To find the scenery you are picturing, check the day's tidal cycle. Remember that the lagoon is not a permanent pool, and designated sports areas must be respected. Suitable for families with children.
