Playa del Médano lies in the north of Fuerteventura, within the municipality of La Oliva, close to Corralejo. This long stretch of fine golden sand meets the ocean with shallow waters, a good spot if you're looking for a calm swim without surprises.

From the shore you have direct views of Lobos Island, the small protected islet that stands out clearly on the horizon and adds a distinctive element to the scenery. The beach is part of the extensive dune system of northern Fuerteventura, with soft, pale sand running along this coast.

The setting is open and fairly natural, though you'll find restaurants and services nearby to make your visit easier. It's a regular spot both for sunbathing and for walking along the shore while taking in the coastal landscape of this part of the island.
