What are the best areas to stay in Caleta de Fuste?

1. Sail out on a catamaran

   Boats leave the marina at Puerto Castillo most mornings for half-day trips along the east coast, anchoring off quiet coves for swimming and snorkelling. Lunch and drinks are usually included, and the calmer inshore water suits families who would rather not face open Atlantic swell. Book a day or two ahead in high season and take reef-safe sun cream: there is almost no shade once you are out on deck, and the trade wind hides how strong the sun is.

2. Walk the salt pans at Las Salinas

   Fifteen minutes south of the resort, the Museo de la Sal sits beside working salt pans that still glitter white in the afternoon. The exhibition explains how salt shaped the island's fishing trade, and a short boardwalk loops out over the flats to a stretch of black rock where the surf breaks hard. It is an hour well spent on a windy day, and there is a small café for a coffee before the drive back.

3. Cycle the coastal road

   The flat promenade north out of Caleta de Fuste turns into a quiet coastal track towards the airport and Puerto del Rosario, with the sea on one side and volcanic scrub on the other. Hire shops on the main avenue rent road and gravel bikes by the day. Ride early: the wind picks up by mid-morning, and heading out into it means an easier return. Longer loops climb inland towards El Cotillo for experienced riders.

4. Learn to dive in the bay

   The sheltered bay is one of the friendliest places in the Canaries to try diving, with schools running first dives straight off the beach in water that rarely drops below 18°C. Angel sharks, rays and octopus are all regular sightings on the sandy shelf, and boat trips run out to reefs a little further along the coast. Snorkelling gear can be hired by the hour if you would rather stay on the surface with the children.

5. Drive up to Betancuria

   Fuerteventura's whitewashed former capital lies 45 minutes west through the Vega de Río Palmas valley, one of the greenest corners of the island. The 15th-century church, the small archaeological museum and the goat-cheese stalls make an easy morning, and the Mirador de Morro Velosa above the village gives the best inland view on Fuerteventura. Go early and stop for lunch before the coach tours arrive around midday.

6. Watch the goats at an inland farm

   Fuerteventura has more goats than people, and the cheese dairies around Antigua and Pozo Negro open their doors for short tours with tastings of soft, semi-cured and smoked majorero. Children like the milking sheds; adults tend to leave with a wheel of cheese and a bottle of mojo. Most farms are twenty minutes from the resort and take payment in cash, so bring some with you.

7. Take the ferry north for a day

   Drive forty minutes to Corralejo, leave the car and cross to Playa Blanca in about twenty-five minutes on a fast ferry. The day gives you time for the Timanfaya volcanic road or a long lunch in the harbour before the evening sailing back. If the crossing tempts you into a second base, browse villas in Lanzarote and split the week between the two islands.
