Windsurfing is common around Corralejo and Playas de Sotavento and wave sailing (windsurfing on the waves) on the coast along the northern half of the island. El Cotillo is a small fishing village in the north-west of the Island famous for a very long beach to the south of the village and few very calm beaches to the north. The northern beaches frequented by snorkeling enthusiasts and sun worshippers alike are referred to as lakes by the locals.</p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"> <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/File:Shipwreck_of_the_SS_American_Star_on_the_shore_of_Fuerteventura.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-file-description"> <noscript> <img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Shipwreck_of_the_SS_American_Star_on_the_shore_of_Fuerteventura.jpg/220px-Shipwreck_of_the_SS_American_Star_on_the_shore_of_Fuerteventura.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1536"> </noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 165px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Shipwreck_of_the_SS_American_Star_on_the_shore_of_Fuerteventura.jpg/220px-Shipwreck_of_the_SS_American_Star_on_the_shore_of_Fuerteventura.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="165" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Shipwreck_of_the_SS_American_Star_on_the_shore_of_Fuerteventura.jpg/330px-Shipwreck_of_the_SS_American_Star_on_the_shore_of_Fuerteventura.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Shipwreck_of_the_SS_American_Star_on_the_shore_of_Fuerteventura.jpg/440px-Shipwreck_of_the_SS_American_Star_on_the_shore_of_Fuerteventura.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a> <figcaption> The wreck of <i><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/SS_American_Star_(1939)?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="SS American Star (1939)">American Star</a></i> (SS <i>America</i>) seen in July 2004 from land side </figcaption> </figure> <p>At <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Cofete?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Cofete">Cofete</a> on the western side of Jandía a remote and imposing house – <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Villa_Winter?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Villa Winter">Villa Winter</a> – looks out to sea across wide beaches.

The FV-1, together with the FV-2, is part of the major construction project of the north–south motorway on Fuerteventura.</p> <p>The FV-1 begins in the north, in the town of Corralejo and ends in the island's capital Puerto del Rosario. FV-1 is part dual carriageway and part single carriageway. In the past, the FV-1 also ran through the Corralejo Dune Nature Reserve. In order to direct through traffic out of the nature reserve, the dual carriageway bypass around the nature reserve was opened in 2017 as the first section of the motorway after three years of construction, plus five years of construction delay. The road through nature reserve was renamed FV-104.</p> <p>FV-2 connects Morro Jable and Puerto del Rosario. Between La Lajita and Morro Jable, FV-2 is a dual carriageway highway.
