Risco del Paso beach

Beautiful landscape with lots of sports

Risco del Paso Beach has been made famous as the subject of countless tourist postcards. Located in the south of Fuerteventura on the Isthmus de Jandía coast in the municipality of Pájara, the vicinity offers a unique sun and beach experience with gorgeous white sand that disappears into the horizon. The turquoise waters are calm when the wind is down. Winds in the area are often good though, especially in the summer months, so the spot is perfect for windsurfing and kitesurfing. In response to demand, many surf schools and specialised surf shops have sprung up.

Nature in its purest form

The Jandía Beaches, between Costa Calma and Morro Jable, can be explored on foot, practically without interruption, for 20 kilometres. Risco del Paso is in the southern area of Playa de Sotavento. It is an old fossilized beach with a sandy dune network. As a flat beach, the tides create lagoons and salt marshes on a wide coastal platform. There is vegetation with special organisms such as xerophiles (that live in sands) and halophiles (that live in saline areas) and also dozens of endemic and migratory bird species.

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.
