1. Surf and kitesurf at Flag Beach

   The constant North Atlantic winds make Flag Beach and the nearby Grandes Playas a magnet for surfers and kitesurfers. Several schools run beginner lessons and board hire right on the sand, so you can try your first waves or refine your technique. Even if you would rather stay dry, the wide white-sand beach is perfect for a long walk with the dunes rising behind you.

2. Walk the Corralejo Natural Park dunes

   Just south of town, the Corralejo Natural Park protects a vast field of shifting sand dunes that meet the turquoise Atlantic. Follow the boardwalks and quiet tracks across this desert-like landscape, keep an eye out for the local wildlife, and pack water and sunscreen — there is little shade. Sunrise and late afternoon give the softest light for photographs.

3. Take the ferry to Isla de Lobos

   A crossing of roughly 15 minutes brings you to Isla de Lobos, a car-free volcanic islet with a sheltered cove, a small lagoon and a lighthouse walk. Numbers are capped each day to protect the reserve, so book your ferry ahead. It is one of the most rewarding day trips across the Canary Islands, and easy to combine with a lazy afternoon back at your villa.

4. Taste Canarian goat stew in the old town

   Fuerteventura has a long tradition of goat farming, and goat stew holds pride of place on local menus alongside wrinkly papas arrugadas potatoes and spicy mojo sauces. Head into Corralejo's old town, away from the seafront chains, to find family-run spots serving these Canarian classics. Pair them with an island wine to round off the meal.

5. Cool off at Acua Water Park

   Acua Water Park is Corralejo's only water park and a reliable hit with children. It has more than a dozen slides and attractions for all ages, from a wave pool and gentle family runs to faster rides for older kids. It makes an easy half-day out when the family fancies a change from the beach, and it is a short drive from most villas.

6. Browse the old-town squares and market

   Corralejo's old town centres on a cluster of squares linked by narrow, tile-paved streets. Around the Bell Tower a small handicraft market sets up on certain days, and the surrounding lanes are dotted with shops, cafés and restaurants. It is a pleasant place to wander in the early evening before dinner, soaking up the relaxed island pace.

7. Watch the sunset along the harbour

   As the day cools, the Corralejo harbour and the bars along the waterfront come into their own. Choose anything from a traditional bodega to a modern beachside terrace or one of the Irish pubs near the centre, and settle in for a drink as the sun drops below the Atlantic horizon, with Lanzarote's silhouette visible offshore. It is the easiest way to ease into a holiday evening.
