If you’re staying near Corralejo, make sure to visit the sand dunes early morning before the wind picks up and the crowds arrive. Walk slowly toward the beach and you’ll find quiet stretches where it feels like you have the whole park to yourself. On windy days, head south to Sotavento beach; it’s the go-to spot for kite surfers and windsurfers and seeing the action is a great way to spend an afternoon. Locals often grab a late coffee or a casual meal at some of the less busy cafes in El Cotillo village. It’s a nice way to unwind and get a feel for everyday island life that usually isn’t on the main tourist trail.
