A tourist beach near Fuerteventura’s airport

El Castillo beach is just 10 minutes from Fuerteventura airport and gets its name from an 18th century fort of historical interest nearby. Considered a tourist beach, it is also popular with families given the excellent services: sunbed and parasol hire, parking, bus and taxi stops and a beach promenade with restaurants and apartments connecting to a shopping centre.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Do not use soap or gel in the showers located at the entrance to the beach.
Try to use ocean-friendly sun creams.
Pets are prohibited at most beaches. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
