Fuerteventura has two ingredients that make it a first-class water destination: clear, mild water all year round and a reliable wind that has made it famous among windsurf and kite lovers. Whether or not you have experience, there's a water activity for you.
Snorkelling: where to see more
The volcanic seabed and the clarity of the water make snorkelling a simple and spectacular plan. The sheltered areas of the south, around Jandía, and the waters of Isla de Lobos are among the best for glimpsing marine life with no experience needed.

- Sotavento (Costa Calma / Jandía): its lagoon and wind have made it a world reference for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
- Corralejo, in the north: another wind mecca, with schools and atmosphere.
- El Cotillo and the north: waves to start out or improve your surfing.
There are schools for all levels: from a first taster to fine-tuning your technique. If you're not after wind but want to see the seabed without getting wet, glass-bottom boats are ideal for going with children or anyone who prefers to stay dry.
