Local advice from years here

If you want to enjoy the top rated activities with fewer crowds, early spring or late autumn are your best bets. The weather is still warm but the island is quieter, so places like Corralejo’s beaches or El Cotillo’s coastal restaurants feel more relaxed. Another tip is to mix a popular spot with a less busy time of day , say, sunrise at the Corralejo Dunes before breakfast, or a late afternoon walk around Betancuria when the light softens. This way, you get to see why these spots earn their ratings without the usual rush.
