With its mild climate all year round, its shallow beaches and plenty of activities designed for little ones, Fuerteventura is one of those islands where kids don't get bored and parents can relax. These are the plans that work best as a family.
Calm-water beaches
For swimming without scares, look for the sheltered beaches: the El Cotillo lagoons in the north and the gentle coves of Caleta de Fuste are ideal for the youngest. Avoid the wavy, windy beaches for splashing about.
A water park day
When it's time to break the beach routine, a water park is the safe bet: slides, pools and hours of guaranteed fun for all ages.

Glass-bottom boats are perfect for children: they see fish and the seabed through a window, with no need to swim. And a dolphin-watching trip is one of those memories they won't forget.
