El Cotillo
El Cotillo is a coastal village located in the municipality of La Oliva, on the western shore of Fuerteventura. This fishing village is known for its peaceful character and authentic atmosphere, setting it apart from more developed areas of the island.
Here you'll find beaches with crystal-clear waters and white sand, alongside natural pools formed between volcanic rocks. El Cotillo's coastline combines long beaches facing the Atlantic with more sheltered coves, offering variety in coastal scenery. The village retains its fishing character, visible in its small harbour and traditional house architecture.
Access from Fuerteventura airport crosses the island's interior, a journey of approximately 40 kilometres through volcanic landscapes. The village sits at the northwestern tip of the island, about 40 kilometres from the eastern coast, allowing you to experience different environments of Fuerteventura in a single day.
