 Risco del Paso Beach - Sotavento Beach, Fuerteventura.

<< Back

 
Description.

The middle area of Playa de Sotavento is also called Risco del Paso, and is the natural continuation of the northern Leeward beach, also called Playa Barca. There is a windsurfing school (Rene Egli), which has a bar bar, and more than enough parking for everyone.
To reach Risco del Paso, you must take the road from Costa Calma to Morro Jable, and about 5 miles, take the turn properly indicated to the left

This area of Playa de Sotavento is very windy, so except for a few days a year, not a beach for sunbathing. But to give you a good walk along the beach for several hours is perfect, because with its sandbars and lakes is the most beautiful beaches.
If you park in this area, you can walk to the south of the Playa de Sotavento, which is a very typical of the island, with a white sand dune and shrub areas where you are sheltered from the wind.

My Opinion: One of the most beautiful beaches on the island, but especially for walking, because the wind is strong and full of windsurfers. Not bad given a good ride and then eat at Bar School Windsurfing
