Playa del Moro is highly suitable for families with young children. Its designation as one of the best sections of the Corralejo dune beaches for turquoise-water scenery means it often features calmer, shallower waters compared to more exposed surf beaches. The white sand and clear conditions make it ideal for relaxed swimming and playing in the sand, offering a safe and enjoyable environment for all ages.
Playa del Moro is enjoyable 'Anytime' due to Fuerteventura's consistently pleasant climate. However, for the 'Best Weather' with warm temperatures and minimal wind, the late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) months are often ideal. These periods offer excellent conditions for sunbathing and swimming, though the beach remains beautiful and inviting throughout the year.
Playa del Moro is easily accessible from Corralejo. It's located within the Corralejo Natural Park, south of the main town. You can typically reach it by car, with parking available nearby, or by local bus services that run along the coast. Taxis are also a convenient option. The exact stop might require a short walk through the dunes to reach the beach itself.
Playa del Moro is part of the natural dune system, so direct facilities like permanent restrooms or extensive food vendors are generally limited right on the sand. However, due to its proximity to Corralejo and other developed areas, you may find some temporary kiosks or be a short walk from establishments. For lodging, Corralejo offers a wide range of hotels and apartments.
Playa del Moro's turquoise water is distinctive due to the combination of its fine, white sand seabed and the clear, shallow nature of the water. The sunlight penetrates easily, reflecting off the light sand to create vibrant shades of blue and green. This stunning visual, set against the backdrop of the Corralejo dunes, makes it incredibly picturesque and a popular spot for photography.
