The fishing village of El Cotillo, located on the north west coast of Fuerteventura, has some of the best beaches in the Canary Islands and even in the rest of the world.
Battered by the wind and tides, the ocean forms large lagoons where you need to wade some distance before it gets deep. At low tide, the water goes out slowly, leaving a wavy pattern on the sand, perhaps so the land doesn’t miss the caress of the water before it returns.
