If you are looking for a hotel in Fustes, the beach, water sports, diving, golf and history can each help guide your choice of destination. In Caleta de Fuste, you will find specific points of interest related to these themes: Playa del Castillo on a bay, a dive site off the breakwater, the Torre de San Buenaventura next to the beach, and the Salinas de Antigua Golf Club at the resort. You can match these features of the area to the interests that matter for your stay.

Beach and water sports in Caleta de Fuste

Playa del Castillo is on a bay. The beach has soft, golden sand and calm waters all year round. Sun loungers and parasols are available to rent; there is also parking, as well as bus stops and taxi ranks. Alongside the beach’s features, these provide practical information to help you plan. As services like these can change, check what is currently available before your visit.

There are several different water activities: in Caleta de Fuste, a diving club runs boat trips for diving, and windsurfing lessons are available. At Marina El Castillo, you can rent jet skis and take part in other water activities. Lessons, trips and rentals are different offerings; availability may change. If you are planning a particular activity, check its availability in advance.

Dive site and marine life

El Castillo Negro is a dive site off the breakwater at Caleta de Fuste. There is a reef there where large groupers and typical coastal species such as vieja parrotfish, salema porgies and octopuses can be found. The description of the reef gives the dive site its own focus alongside the boat trips on offer. However, sightings of individual animals are not guaranteed.

A fortification by the beach

Next to the beach stands the Torre de San Buenaventura, also known as Castillo de Fuste. Both names refer to the same small, circular fortification. It had two iron cannons, which were used to protect the coast. This gives the beach in Caleta de Fuste a specific historical connection; the names also help make clear that the Torre and the Castillo are not two different attractions.

Golf and local cuisine

The Salinas de Antigua Golf Club is located right next to the resort of Caleta de Fuste, in the east of Fuerteventura. Its course is described as an 18-hole links course. The landscape includes native vegetation, desert areas and several lakes; the bunkers are made of volcanic sand. The course description offers more than just the number of holes: it also mentions varied landscape features that may be relevant to golf enthusiasts considering this option.

Local cuisine can also be part of your travel plans. In Caleta de Fuste, you can try traditional Canarian fish dishes and local desserts. This adds a culinary dimension to the beach, diving and golf options, without requiring you to focus your stay on just one theme.
