A recent discovery in the sun
Despite having some of the most beautiful beaches in the Canary island of Fuerteventura, it is only in the last 25 years that Costa Calma has been recognised as the wonderful holiday destination that it is. It was in the 1980s that roads and amenities began to be introduced to the region, but today in the Costa Calma has become a real, bustling hotspot within the Canaries, with a great spread of not only restaurants, bars and shops but impressive lists of activities too.
Costa Calma Holidays are action packed
Costa Calma is well famed for its huge, beautiful, sandy beaches but there are some very impressive water based activities to take part in too if you dare to dip your toes in. Diving is very popular with a licensed PADI drive school found right on the beach front. There's a full range of PADi courses with qualified instructors and accompanied dive spots around the coast of the island.
However if you prefer keeping your face – mostly – above the waves, then the Surf School could be for you. Considered themselves “the new face of surfing”, surf lessons are available right on the beach in not only Costa Calma, but in many nearby resorts including Pared, Jandia, Morro Jable and La Lajita.
Keeping yourself nice and dry isn't hard to do either. The beach of Costa Calma stretches for an amazing 12 miles of unbroken, white sand. This means you can have the coastal experience you strive for. Costa Calma means the calm coast and you can be sure that you’ll be able to relax and refuel on holiday there. Like a bustling resort feel? Keep yourself within easy reach of your hotel as there will be plenty of other tourists to enjoy yourself with. Don't like the hustle and bustle? Take a short trek down the sand and you'll quickly find yourself with your own section of private beach front to enjoy yourself in peace and quiet.
The towns on Costa Calma are all modernised, but they retain their traditional relaxed feel of the original village of Canada Del Rio.
