The charming, up-and-coming resort of Caleta de Fuste is an ideal holiday destination, designed to cater for couples and families.
Here, the sea laps the golden, gently sloping sandy bay making for some of the safest bathing in Europe.
The town itself has shops, bars and restaurants to cater for all tastes and pockets. Whether your choice of food be Chinese, Thai, Mexican, Greek, Indian or Portuguese - whether you want a fish or steak restaurant, a tapas bar or British-style pub grub - you will find it.
Fuerteventura has over 150 beautiful beaches.There are also many spots where you can relax and sunbathe in quiet seclusion, especially off-season. In Caleta, the beach is shaped like a giant horse shoe. .
Stroll along the beach to the harbour and water sports are well catered for - everything from windsurfing to scuba diving. You can go fishing, visit the oceanarium or take a catamaran out to swim with the dolphins. Or you can pamper yourself with a visit to the thalasotherapy centre where you will find a jacuzzi and six marine pools, bubble beds, Turkish baths and a sauna.
Past the harbour, and the coastline changes again - rugged rocky bays where the waves crash in.
In the evenings, entertainment can be found - everything from live acts to karaoke, quizzes and bingo. But there are plenty of quiet bars and cafes where you can sit outside and watch the world go by ... this is no Costa del Sol but a place where relaxing comes easy, no dusk to dawn discos, just a gentle way of life reminding you more of Greece or the way Spain was 30 years ago.
There is mini golf, an 18 hole Championship golf course, camel rides, tennis, cycle and quad bike hire and ten pin bowling. Watch the chipmonks feed out of your hand on the shore - or just lie back and soak up the sun.
From Caleta, you can really explore the island. An excellent bus service runs north and south.
You can go to the wild sand dunes of the north, visit the Isle of Lobos - a national park where no one is allowed to live - or hop on a ferry and spend a day in Lanzarote.
To the south of the island lie miles and miles of beautiful golden sandy beaches.
Hire a car and go inland to the opposite side of the island. Here you will find deserted coves, little fishing villages, cliff top walks where the Atlantic crashes wildly in below you ... and even the ship wreck of a giant ocean going liner. Roads are mostly straight and deserted - except the twisty mountain road to the old capital of Betancuria where the views are spectacular.
