Holidays to Costa Caleta take you to one of the best-loved spots on the Canarian island of Fuerteventura. You get a wide stretch of sandy beach, decent windsurfing, and medium-volume nightlife.
Canary Island classic
Twenty years ago, Costa Caleta was just a quiet stretch of coastline on Fuerteventura’s east side. Now this purpose-built resort is right up to speed as one of the island’s favourite holiday spots. There’s a laid-back feel to the place but it can still hold its own on the nightlife front thanks to a main street packed with bars and restaurants. And the beach keeps the side up, too.
A beach in a bay
The beach at Costa Caleta curves around a sheltered horseshoe-shaped bay. It deals up about a kilometre of golden sand with a few pebbly patches here and there. You might want to pick a spot away from the shore, as the tide can come in a bit quickly. You’re well set up for watersports here, though, and you’ve got a few beachfront cafes for food and drinks.
A family friendly resort
Amusement arcades, play parks and mini-golf courses – Costa Caleta has organised itself well on the family front. Even the beach has got in on the act with a play area, plus there are child-friendly activities like face painting and a bouncy castle here every Friday in July and August.
