Fuerteventura beaches - Ajuy beach

This little village facing the Atlantic Ocean has a fine black volcanic sand and Ajuy beach is often dotted with typical Canarian fishing boats.

The sea can be rough so is not recommended for bathing too far out. It does have some lovely little restaurants (try finding a price list though!), some interesting geographical formations, a lovely cliff top walk and great views of the rugged Atlantic coastline.

The Ajuy caves, the oldest geological part of the Canaries, is close by as is the ship wreck of the American Star.

If you start the cliff tops walk and reach the Mirador (viewing plaform) on the way back if veer left you will reach an even higher cliff top walk far away from the crowds and eventually come to a huge arch carved into the rocks by the sea.

Ajuy beach is also a perfect place to start a visit to see the ship wreck of the American Star.
