Fuerteventura and El Cotillo – “Our Home at the ocean”

FreshSurf is located on the north-west side of the Canary Island ‘Fuerteventura’. In addition to shifting sand dunes in the Northeast, mountain scenery in the centre of the island the rocky western part offers many large sandy beaches. Our ‘El Cotillo’ will enchant you from the first day through its beautiful and unique coastline. The former small fishing village stands for harmony and relaxation. El Cotillo’s coastline is made of steap cliffs, from which ones you can look at the sea 20 meters underneath.

If you follow the coastline further down east you will arrive at the picturesque lagoon beaches that are hugged gently by smaller sand dunes. You can find smaller lagoons separated by rocks, lagoons with fine white sand and crystal clear turquoise water. They are going to invite you to have a delightful swim and of course sunbathers gonna love them. Even for our youngest guests the beach is ideal as the beach drops flat into the water. You can find us right here!

Weather and climate in El Cotillo

“Sunshine and happy faces in El Cotillo!” – This is what we would like you to have all year round – day after day. The reality here is as follows: On Fuerteventura the sun shines approximately 3000 hours per year – so an average of eight hours a day. The climate is stable throughout the whole year, resulting in the Canary Islands being nicknamed as “Islands of Eternal Spring” .

So many different surf spots

Surfers might find around the island a paradise for surfing with heaps of surf spots and an incomparable atmosphere between palm trees and the ocean. All year round the surfing spots on Fuerteventuras coastline offer constant swells and hold great waves for every surfing level – if you invest some time into the search for the perfect wave . We would recommend the North Shore, located away from tourist activities, the waves are long and perfect over here and the majority are reef breaks . Moreover, there are long sandy beaches – perfect for beginners (like our home beach in El Cotillo).

The water temperature varies between 18° C in winter and 22° C in summer. The outside temperature in winter is also very high, with an average temperature of 25° C.
