About the beach

Pájara · Fuerteventura

Risco del Paso showcases the ever-changing nature of Sotavento: dunes, sandbars, and pools of water shift and reconfigure with the tides. The landscape reveals traces of ancient, solidified beaches alongside the constantly shifting sands. Beyond windsurfing, it is a great spot for coastal walks and sightseeing. Plan your route without assuming sandy paths will remain dry; the water can quickly cut off areas that previously seemed connected.
