Focus On Jandia And Morro Jable
Morro Jable in the south of Fuerteventura used to be a sleepy fishing village until it was discovered by German tourists and now the towns of Morro Jable and Jandia have grown so much that it is difficult to discern where one ends and the other begins. Together they form one of the largest and most popular tourist resorts on the island.
Morro Jable is the older part of the resort with narrow streets that run down to the beaches and the harbour and this is where you can find many smaller restaurants that specialise in the catch caught by the local fishing fleet. A promenade winds along the beach front and round the headland to take you to Jandia. A ferry connecting Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria operates from the harbour where there is also popular yacht marina.
Jandia is the newer part of the resort with its hotels, bars, shops and restaurants stretching the length of the white sandy beach with a palm tree lined promenade. The beaches are kept very clean and have “Blue Flag” status providing safe waters for the swimmers and water sport enthusiasts alike.
This area of the islands coast is known as Costa Calma, as it is for the most part protected from the prominent northerly winds, and has some of the best beaches in the world to the north and south of the town. The stunning Cofete beach lies to the south, but the road that leads to it is unmade and so an off road type of car is preferable, though once there you will have miles of golden sand virtually to yourself. If you prefer a bit more action from your beach try Sotovento beach to the north famous for the annual world wind surfing championships held there. If you are not a wind surfing champion don’t worry there is a school for the novices.
In the evening the resort lights up and there is an amazing selection of bars and restaurants to either relax after an exhausting day on some of the best beaches in the Canary Islands or provide entertainment well into the small hours .
