Children are welcome everywhere in Fuerteventura, indeed the Spanish dote on their children and welcome others as an extension of their own families. Fuerteventura has long white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters which are perfect for family bathing. The blue lagoons of EL COTILLO in the north east of the island are safe and idyllic - a perfect backdrop for classic family beach photographs. There are plenty of local restaurants and tapas bars for when you get peckish, or pack a picnic and enjoy your own space. CALETA DE FUSTE (Castillo/Costa Caleta) is a man-made resort with imported sand which is an ideal centre for family holidays.
