Best things to do in and around Fuerteventura

As the only water park on the island, Acua Water Park is well worth a visit for a day of fun. The whole family can enjoy over 14 attractions and rides including a lazy river, wave pool, a flume – which you ride through in the dark – and towering slides which will throw you in circles.
Faro el toston
35650 La Oliva, Las Palmas
An active lighthouse on the north-western coast of the island near to the village of El Cotillo – also named the El Cotillo Lighthouse. There are many scenic paths leading up to this 30-metre-tall tower which opened in 1897, and a small museum that tells the fishing history of the local area. Paddle in the shallow rock pools to cool down, or go fossil hunting on the small fossil beach.
