North part of the island (4-8 hours)
We start our trip by heading to Dunas de Corralejo

one of the prettiest beaches on the island. If you haven’t visited this place already, you should definitely do so and enjoy some beach time.
Next stop Corralejo:

the largest resort in northern part of the island. It’s tuff to set a parking spot so in the link bellow is only indicating where you should search for a parking spot.
After parking, it is worth going to the beaches and having a coffee in one of the many cafes and enjoying the eye with a beautiful view of the ocean.
If you've already been to these places, you can skip the first two waypoints and go straight to:

This place is no longer covered by asphalt roads but you can easily conquer them with a standard passenger car.
First stop Playa del Bajo:

otherwise known as „Popcorn Beach”.

but before we get to it, we will pass many smaller and very picturesque beaches. One of them forms a natural pool, separated from the ocean by a rock wall:
From this beach you can also see the very high northern lighthouse of Faro del Tostón.
After reaching El Cotillo (and possibly visiting the town and its 3 large, sandy beaches) we head south:

to Playa de Esquinzo – a beautiful beach located in a canyon.
This is where we end the tour. The way further south is reserved for off-road vehicles and we do not recommend traveling by passenger car.
