El Muelle Chico beach for SUP lovers in Fuerteventura

El Muelle Chico beach is located in the old town of Corralejo, on the north-east coast of the island of Fuerteventura .

This beach is located directly on the seafront of one of the cities of Fuerteventura most loved by tourists from all over the world.

This beach is mainly frequented by the inhabitants of Corralejo, and by tourists who are in Corralejo and do not like to move.

Playa El Muelle Chico is only 100 meters long, with gentle waves and white sand, ideal for people looking for a relaxing afternoon.

The fine sandy beach is shallow, which means it is the perfect place for families with small children in Fuerteventura.

The beach consists of soft white sand with small areas of tiny dark stones.

Behind it is the port of Corralejo , from where you can take the ferry from Fuerteventura to Lanzarote or Lobos Island.

It is also a great choice for anyone who wants to enjoy a swim or practice SUP (Stand Up Paddle).

But let’s satisfy our curiosity, what is SUP?

Stand Up Paddle is a water sport similar to surfing, the difference is in the size of the SUP board.

The SUP board can extend up to double or even triple the length of a normal surfboard.

This allows for greater stability, but the real novelty is the use of the paddle, which allows you to navigate in complete safety, remaining standing.

Please note that this inlet, being very small, often becomes very crowded.

On this beach, forget about sunbeds and deckchairs, take your towel and let yourself be pampered by the softness of the sand.

Given that  Playa El Muelle Chico is located directly on the seafront, you will be spoiled for choice when it comes to bars, restaurants and shops.

Near this beautiful urban beach you will also find other services such as: supermarkets, pharmacies, bus stops.

How do you get there?

This beach can be reached by walking or alternatively by bicycle.

Starting from the centre of Corralejo and even from the capital of Fuerteventura , Puerto del Rosario .

This is because the entire island, a Biosphere Reserve, has a deep respect for the environment, promoting eco-sustainable public transport.

The cycle paths at Fuerteventura , present in every locality of the island, are in perfect condition to enjoy the sunny days of the island of eternal spring.
