The south family resort — 15km of unbroken white sand, Sotavento windsurf lagoon, German-tourist heartland.
A purpose-built resort strung above Sotavento — the lagoon that fills at high tide making a beginner kitesurf paradise. Strongly German-tourist, calmer than Corralejo, fewer Irish bars, more apartment-let-than-hotel architecture. The beach goes on for 15km.
