One of the best parts of Costa Calma has to be the long sandy beach of Plana Barca to the southwest. This particular area appeals toWindsurfers because of the strong off shore winds during the summer months. Playa Sotovento is one of the most beautiful beaches in Fuerteventura with endless fine sand and that exquisite turquoise sea. It is an extremely popular location for surfers and, in fact, the PWA Championship Wind Surfing Slalom and Kite Boarding World Cup are held here annually during the months of July and August.
Another fabulous and extremely secluded beach is at Playa El Cofete which is located about half an hour from Costa Calma. Some of the terrain to get there is off-road and pretty bumpy but the trip is definitely worthwhile when you reach the point where El Cofete is seen for the first time. Spectacular, magnificent and serene this beach really is one not to miss.
